In honor of Cheyenne Frontier Days, we are dedicating a full week of episodes to the Largest Outdoor Rodeo and all of the good times it brings each year. We are kicking the series off with a Wyoming's very own, Ned LeDoux. Ned is the son of country music legend Chris LeDoux but is keeping the music going. He shares his early memories of attending CFD, playing the main stage, running into Tommy Lee at an airport, and much more!

From 2012-2016, the Fridays in the Hynds concert series galvanized a previously vacant space in downtown Cheyenne and opened a new chapter in the city’s music scene. As the series expanded, it also shifted venues to the Asher Building, where it hosted some of the region’s premier acts, as well as national artists, to crowds of over 300 people. After some 61 concerts, the Volunteer-organized series now remains one of the most endearing music and arts endeavors in the city’s recent history. We look back on our favorite shows and memories and speak with Hans Seitz, one of the series’ founders, and Jesse Fishman, co-director in 2016 and 2017.

The most unique MC you've ever heard? Toss the name Onwuka right into the mix. Perhaps the most creative, cerebral, and nasty-smooth hip-hop artist in the 307. Onwuka blends the West Coast sound from his Monterey roots with Chamillionare, Outkast, Big K.R.I.T., and a wide spectrum of other dopiness. The result? Something you've just gotta check out. This one is a top-shelf interview with a top-notch cat.....worth every minute of your day you spend with Onwuka!

There is only one Richard Johnson. One listen to this podcast and you'll understand why. From his friendships with Tony Hawk and Rob Dyrdek to throwing snowballs at Gabe Saporta of Midtown/Cobra Starship, from writing for Thrasher Magazine to interviewing for the cast of MTV's Jackass, from community activism to serving as a city councilman (and running again), this is an unforgettable listen through the legend of Richard Johnson. The one and only.

The name "Skater Guy" is ubiquitous in Laramie, Wyoming. Known by virtually every student who has attended the University of Wyoming over the past 20 years, Matt Groathouse's legend continues to grow to Himalayan proportions. Here, he discusses his skateboarding journey, his unforgettable attire, his custom-made closet, and the mythological aura of "Skater Guy" - truly a Wyoming icon.
