A podcast is,
at it’s core, truly about CONNECTION
The monetization and success come later. At Trout Stream Studios, we deliver high-value, engaging content to those who share our love of the pursuit of fish, game and adventure in the great, wild outdoors. We’re here to help outdoorsmen and women tell their stories and make a difference.

is the Founder and Executive Producer of Trout Stream Studios, where he helps legacy brands, media companies, and conservation nonprofits turn podcasting into a high-impact channel for revenue, reach, and brand authority.
With over 10 million annual downloads across 33 launched shows, Cody has helped organizations like Field & Stream, Blood Origins, and The Daily Signal Media Group build and monetize their entire podcast ecosystems—from scratch.

When he’s not behind a mic or a mixing board, Cody’s usually outside—hunting, fishing, or testing the gear he hears so much about.
