  • The History of Rodeos and Rodeo Clowns
    I love rodeos! I’m so excited to go to rodeos this summer, and wanted to learn the history behind the sport. I heard a tale that each cowboy would bring a section of fence to set up the ring during the very first rodeos, but turns out I couldn’t find that anywhere online lol. So today we’re gonna cover the true history of rodeos and the blend of cultures that made them what they are today. Enjoy!

  • Primaries and Caucuses? What’s the difference and how does each one work?
    Hey everyone! In this weeks episode, we talk about primaries versus caucuses, and what the differences are. I was so confused because in Colorado, we have both a primary and caucus, and I thought that having both made no sense. But turns out that each serve a very different purpose And we go over each one. I go over mostly Colorado’s process, but hopefully that example can help you understand your states process more. Enjoy the episode.

  • The Dust Bowl
    I became fascinated by the dust fall when I read the book The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. It outlined a family, who had to leave their farm in Texas and move to California to try to find work. I am so amazed that people were able to live through this time and what it took for them to survive, so I decided to deep dive the dust and figure out what really happened during this time period. Enjoy the episode.
