Ep. 21: The Hottest Polka Party in Chernobyl

This week, kick off your new year by slapping mad brown hogs in the face with sheet foam, learn what Ernest Schwiebert usually ordered at Arby’s, hear the gripping story of how we almost lost a Spice Girl to buttery, decadent swordfish, and get rich by carving wooden pike to sell to Midwest soccer moms outside the Home Goods. Connect with <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/joe-cermele">Joe</a>, <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/miles-nolte">Miles</a>, and <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/">MeatEater</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/joe.cermele138/?hl=en">Joe</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/watermiles/?hl=en">Miles</a> on InstagramMeatEater on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/meateater">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StevenRinellaMeatEater/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MeatEaterTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAaa0mleeU128Ad5iM1RFIg">Youtube</a>Shop <a href="https://store.themeateater.com/">MeatEater Merch</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Fishing can be slow. Podcasts about fishing shouldn’t be. That’s why we created Bent, the unapologetic fishing podcast that moves faster than a tournament bass boat but doesn’t take itself near as seriously. Host Joe Cermele welcomes anglers of all backgrounds and interests, from hardcore crappie jiggers to dry-fly purists to offshore tuna addicts. Even if you’re just mildly fish curious, this podcast has something for you: regional fishing reports, tackle tips, trash talk, etymology, weekly news, trivia, even suggestions on how to piss off your fishing guide. Come for the soggy cooler sandwiches; stay for the raccoon-eyes tan lines. Part of The MeatEater Podcast Network.
