GunBroker Staff on The Connecting with Conservation Podcast
The Connecting with Conservation (CWC) Podcast is proud to welcome guests from GunBroker in a new episode featuring Allen Forkner, vice president of public relations and brand management, and Josh Perrone, advocacy relations manager. They join hosts Jon Gassett of Wildlife Management Institute and Jim Curcuruto of Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation for a conversation on conservation.
Since 1999, GunBroker, the largest online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and outdoor gear, has been helping retailers, dealers and manufacturers connect with consumers across the country. More than just a marketplace, GunBroker fosters a community of outdoor enthusiasts, bringing together like-minded individuals who share a passion for the outdoors. As part of this commitment, GunBroker proudly supports organizations like OSCF through fundraising auctions and awareness campaigns that champion the protection of natural habitats, wildlife and the freedoms that make outdoor traditions possible.
“The work of Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation is critical to the future of hunting, fishing and all outdoor pastimes,” Forkner said. “At GunBroker.com, we are always looking for new, creative ways to help organizations like OCSF thrive, grow and succeed. From a personal standpoint, I appreciate having an opportunity to support the outdoor stewards, who are fighting tirelessly to protect the outdoor pursuits I love.”
No stranger to the booth, Forkner is an experienced podcast host himself. Every week, Forkner discusses firearm history alongside historian Logan Metesh of High Caliber History on the No Lowballers Podcast. They discuss topics such as mobster favorites, collector pieces, wartime weapons, hunting gun history, competition firearms and more.
Season 2, Episode 21 of the podcast featuring GunBroker is available on YouTube, PodBean and Apple Podcasts.
“Funding for land, fish and wildlife conservation starts with America’s 60+ million HATS (Hunters, Anglers, Trappers, Shooters) but there are so many more folks involved,” said Curcuruto. “In addition to manufacturers that fund conservation through excise taxes, companies like GunBroker.com play an important role as well and we appreciate Allen and Josh for taking the time to be guests of the podcast.”
The Connecting with Conservation Podcast was created to allow a broad mix of guests from wildlife agencies, industry manufacturers and non-government organizations to share their stories about how they their organizations, support outdoor recreation and conservation. The conversational format, informative guests and compact episodes make it a great addition to any podcast rotation.
