“Country Outdoors” Podcast Launches Season Two

NASHVILLE – When co-hosts Mary O’Neill Phillips and Mitch Petrie dipped their proverbial “toe in the water” by creating a podcast about country music and the outdoors, they thought they had a pretty good idea that people might be interested to listen to. Their instincts were correct as Season Two of Country Outdoors Podcast with Mary and Mitch is available today.

After a year of entertaining their audience with artists and outdoor enthusiasts like: Tyler Farr, Craig Campbell, Dylan Scott, Jordan Davis, Drake White, Jon Langston, Craig Morgan, and LOCASH, Country Outdoors Podcast with Mary and Mitch is excited to welcome country music artist Meghan Patrick as their first guest in the new season. Propelled by her new EP “Wild as Me,” released in late 2019, Patrick is already on the road and touring across North America.

Recently, Country Outdoors Podcast with Mary and Mitch had the chance to catch up with Meghan and discussed her new EP, what it’s like to be on the road and what she does beyond her “day job.”

“Meghan Patrick is an amazing country-music artist with a passion for the outdoors that’s as strong and authentic as any artist we’ve had on the podcast,” Petrie said. “Mary and I left the interview energized by Meghan’s commitment to the outdoors and can’t wait to share the story of how she became a hunter five years ago.”

“Season Two is shaping up to be an amazing collection of stories from today’s top and emerging artists,” O’Neill Phillips added.

Country Outdoors, available as a first-ever podcast connecting country music fans with their favorite artists, allows fans to connect their passion for country music with the outdoor passions of their favorite singers, songwriters and country music entertainers. Hosted by country music aficionados and outdoor enthusiasts, Mary O’Neill Phillips and Mitch Petrie, the podcast gives listeners a unique opportunity to hear the untold stories of their favorite artists from the road, woods, streams, lakes and oceans.

Each episode features insightful interviews with top artists who will share untold stories of outdoor experiences that have inspired their music and lives. Season Two will kick off of February 17, 2020 with new podcasts schedule each Monday. In addition to Meghan Patrick’s interview, fans can look forward to hearing from other artists and Nashville influencers including: Riley Green, Easton Corbin, Bobby Pinson, Ray Fulcher, Jordan Rowe, Dillon Carmichael, Mattie Jackson Selecman, CJ Solar, Natalie Murphy and David Nail, as well as new artists joining the schedule each week.

In addition to artist interviews, fans will hear special “Outdoor Moments” brought to them by influencers in-and-outside the country music world during a weekly segment. The podcast creates a unique opportunity for advertisers to reach a more diverse audience as well.
