  • A must listen for any fan of the American West

    This is one of the best podcast out there in my opinion. Each week I learn something new and each week I’m reminded of the greatness of the American West and the people who made it that way.

  • Should’ve been a cowboy

    This show wastes no time. Gets right to the subject and highlights them. Any of which I can research on my spare time. Great show for cowboys, cowgirls & those of us who sing, ‘Should’ve Been a Cowboy’

  • Disappointed

    This is way too short. With the access you all have to artists, actors, writers, and historical figures it seems that an interview format could be done and that it could be at least a couple hours. Also, the voice that is reading is too polished and citified…need a cowboy/cowgirl…could even have different western folks do interviews.

  • Good but….

    I’m a fan of this beautiful museum, and am very interested in the history of the west. I guess I was just hoping more women would be represented. Women WERE there, in all kinds of capacities, and it’d be great to see a little more representation. I know it’s early days of the podcast yet, but 1 woman out of the current 17 episodes is not great.
