  • Great Entertainment

    I always enjoy these podcasts because I get a glimpse of the lives of people I will never meet or get to spend time with and that includes the three hosts. The show is one I can listen to anywhere and not have to worry about what any kids nearby might hear. I like hearing about rodeo from a bull or bronco rider's viewpoint and learning more about the rodeo cowboys on a personal level. This a great podcast for a rodeo fan.

  • Well done podcast hosts!

    Just found this podcast & really enjoyed the Jess Pope episode. It was an easy, upbeat and fun listen. The podcast hosts are great at making the questions feel more like a cup of coffee conversation versus an interview. I cracked up when Andy shared his favorite MoVal reride stories & when Jess talked about The Store. Great times for sure in the Ozark Region.
