Great Podcast about life (and BBQ)

03/25/2019 5:28 AM by RoscoBulldog from United States

This podcast is great! I was hesitant to listen because I was unsure if talking about BBQ for an hour at a time would hold my attention, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I now realize I was like one of those people who didn’t watch Breaking Bad because they didn’t want to watch an hour long show about making meth. Derek and Shawn bring everything to the table and present it in a way that is so compelling. True, I have learned many pointers and ideas when it comes to BBQ, but the type of men they strive to be for their families, wives, kids, employees, and customers is phenomenal. The feeling I feel most after completing a podcast is that of total admiration, these guys are living their lives and have raised the bar high for others to hopefully emulate and employ in their own lives. I am so glad I came across this podcast, I’m a subscriber and will listen to them all. Congrats on nearing 100, Derek/Shawn you both are great human beings and I wish more people lived their lives in the way you do. Thank you for the stories/info/good-times, Todd Allen

Best bbq podcast

Started listening a few months ago and got hooked. I even reached out a couple time and Shawn and Derek have both taken the time to rerun calls and messages to help me with any bbq questions I have had so far. These guys are the real deal. You will not be disappointed and you will learn real lessons not just about bbq. Love this show and these guys!

Great Podcast

I just found this podcast a couple weeks ago and am trying to make my way through it, starting at number 1. I’m a Nor-Cal guy but listening to them really makes me want to make my way down to SD. Thanks guys, keep up the good work

Behind The Smoke has become one of my weekly must listen podcasts. Derek and Shawn break down small business challenges and the guests are always great and engaging. These guys are genuine and entertaining.

I love what Shawn and Derek bring to the table with their guests touching on BBQ, community, family, business, development, accountability and personal growth. I noticed what they bring with behind the smoke and their guest is how it pushes me and drives me to excel as a leader with my own team. I’m always eager to listen week after week🔥🔥🔥
