Sam Payne lets us tag along with him during one of his favorite seasonal events: the rodeo. Full of wit, grit, fun and cowboy shenanigans the rodeo embodies all that we love about the Wild West. Bucking broncos, loyal steeds, lassos, spurs, and a good pair of Wrangler jeans are sprinkled throughout the episode to help you prepare for your local rodeo. Much of the material you will hear in this episode can be found on cowboy poetry compilations published by the Western Jubilee Recording Company, as well as original stories and songs from Donna Ingham Sam Payne.
