Gearing Up: An Everyday Carry Podcast

Greg (gtdunn) runs one of the more approachable EDC podcasts out there. Gearing Up mixes solo episodes where Greg shares his own gear thoughts with interviews featuring makers and creators from the everyday carry community. The result is a show that works both as a gear guide and as a window into the people who design and build the knives, tools, and accessories that EDC enthusiasts carry daily. Episodes land in the 19 to 48 minute range, with most sitting around 25 to 30 minutes — a comfortable length that covers ground without overstaying its welcome. The show does a nice job of balancing beginner-friendly content (episodes on EDC basics, introductions to different gear categories) with deeper conversations that experienced collectors will appreciate. The Top 5 lists are a recurring highlight — Top 5 blade shapes, Top 5 budget knives, that sort of thing — and they're put together with enough personality that they don't feel like generic roundups. With 165 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from 48 reviews, Gearing Up has built steady momentum since launching. The weekly release schedule keeps things consistent, and Greg has been expanding into video alongside the audio episodes. The interview episodes are where the show really shines, giving spotlight to makers who might not have huge social media followings but are doing genuinely interesting work. If you're curious about EDC culture or want to hear directly from the people crafting the gear, this podcast makes a great entry point without any gatekeeping attitude.
