14x NFR qualifier in calf roping Shane is and has been one of the very top guys in the PRCA for well over a decade. We caught him while he was in Calgary for a few days (6.7 in the first round) and talked about everything from horses to friendships to his foray into the culinary world. Great podcast, can’t wait to share it. 

A journeyman heeler and former BFI champion Wyatt Cox is having a breakthrough year with a legendary partner in Chad Masters. We caught up with him at Prineville to talk about what this year has meant and ended up talking a lot about the mental elements that keep you on top through a full summer of rodeoing 

After years of frustration with the public schools, and watching the ways that politics have slowly found their way into classrooms people like Stephanie Lindsey are a breath of fresh air.

Just a LOT of star power in one episode, and some amazing insight and behind-the-scenes information. We’ve had fun recording these, but this episode went to a new level for all of us here at the Flatbed Podcast

A pretty star studded line up for day two of the Kid Rock Rock ‘N Rodeo in review…it’s been great getting to hear the same story told from so many different perspective. 

The first installment of a brand new format, we have all been talking about the rodeo that just happened in Arlington with the PBR and Kid Rock. So what the heck, why not record those conversations and let y’all in on them. 

26 years in a row he finished in the top five in the world standings, and four times he ended the year as the World Champion heeler From his life of coaching and innovation to the battles he faced in the years following a traumatic stroke to his life now as he sets up his sunset years in Arizona. Alan is truly the definition of a legend. 

One of the best headers to ever come out of Canada, and for sure one of the more mentally analytical people we’ve ever sat down with on the podcast. Truly an episode that I enjoyed getting to be a part of, and learn from. 

The superstar television producer from the Cowboy Channel, and probably the leading candidate for most fascinating women in the Western industry. We’ve tried a few times to get this podcast lined up and finally succeeded, let me just say well worth the wait!

By far one of the most fascinating tours we have ever had since the podcast started with Justin Thomason, the plant manager for Resistol. We got to see the hats being built from start to finish and hear Justin’s story of how he came to Resistol. It was like a dual podcast of his life and the culture of a company we all know. It was a great day hanging out with a super cool guy. Don’t miss it
