SECTION FOUR PRESS BRIEFINGS 3 BARB CAREY CO-LAUNCHES WOMAN ANGLER & ADVENTURER (Oxford, Wisconsin) August 20, 2018 — Angie Scott and Wild Barb Carey have collaborated to launch a new podcast entitled “The Wom- an Angler & Adventurer.” It can be found at www.thewomanangler.com and on iTunes, Spotify, GooglePlay, Stitcher or wherever you enjoy your podcasts. The show grew out of Carey’s guest appearance on Scott’s original podcast entitled “It Pays to Fish.” Scott launched “It Pays to Fish” in early 2018. The focus of the show was to highlight and in- terview people making a living in all different aspects of the f ishing industry, especially break- ing outside of the more traditional roles such as guides and tournament anglers.

The mission is simple: to inspire, empower and connect other women to get out there and experience amaz- ing outdoor adventures of all kinds. “I’m so pumped about teaming up with Barb for this show,” Angie Scott said. “With all of her experience and connections, I have no doubt together we’re going to take it to the next level and provide some amazing content for our listeners. The Woman Angler & Adven- turer movement has off icially begun!” “Wild Barb” Carey started in radio on the Great Wild Radio show in 2014 and has won several Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW) awards for her podcasts and magazine articles. Barb works full time to pro- mote women enjoying the outdoor sports and leads women on adventures through Wiscon- sin Women Fish, the organization she founded in 2006 (www.wiwomenf ish.com).
