About

The Chasin’ Birdies Podcast was formed in 2020 by Jonathan Pepe and Ryan Bashour. The two grew up together playing youth hockey and reconnected later in life on the golf course. The rest is history. After a few cold beers in a garage, they decided to take their passion for golf to the airwaves and utilize their rolodex of contacts to jumpstart a new idea, a new podcast, and a new brand, Chasin’ Birdies. The idea behind Chasin’ Birdies is not just limited to the on course pursuit but rather how others who are addicted to golf continue to chase birdies in life off the course. With former guests that include Willie Robertson (Duck Commander), Annika Sorenstam (LPGA), and Bob Rotella (World Renowned Sports Psychologist), Chasin’ Birdies continues to thrive and bring interviews that will keep you entertained while listening.

Jonathan Pepe

Jonathan’s love of golf started at a young age when he was found flipping through golf magazines in his crib. From playing (mostly) friendly rounds with his dad to competitive tournaments in college, and now making deals on the course, golf has always been a constant in Jonathan’s life. Aside from golf, Jonathan enjoys a nice red wine, a good cigar, a good steak and spending time with his family.

Ryan Bashour

An avid golfer since a young age, Ryan (or “Bash” as everyone calls him) enjoys the game and the relationships that stem from it. Hailing from the hills of West Virginia, Ryan has poured his attention into the businesses that he helped start over the last 9 years. Now his attention is focused on Chasin’ Birdies and the brand it’s viewed as. Both he and Jonathan have a passion to grow Chasin’ Birdies into a popular podcast that will deliver good content (and merch) for years to come. His positive outlook and infectious energy will remind you to never give up and always keep chasin’.

Chasin' Birdies will continue to work towards growth and recognition in the podcast space via interviews, social content, and various entertainment events. Additionally, our goal is to provide fans with a lifestyle brand that will transform into apparel to be worn on or off the golf course. Keep chasin'.
