I’m a big rodeo fan, and honestly, I can never get enough of it. Whether it’s watching on TV, in person, or competing myself, I love everything about it. But between events, I found myself wanting more – more stories, more behind-the-scenes talk, more connection to the sport I love. Here’s where rodeo podcasts come in handy!

They’ve got everything from athlete interviews to behind-the-scenes chatter – really anything a rodeo fan could dream of. If you’re like me and can’t get enough rodeo, you’re gonna want to give these a listen!

Let’s Freakin’ Rodeo

Time to get Western with 6-time NFR qualifier, 2024 Houston Champion, and 2023 winner of The American Rodeo, Ty Harris, alongside notable filmmaker Cole Harris, creator of the popular documentary “Journey to the NFR.” Produced by Teton Ridge, this show brings together candid stories, personal experiences, and hot takes from the rodeo world. Whether Ty and Cole are chatting with industry guests, celebrities, or sharing behind-the-scenes insights on topics typically discussed behind closed doors, they make the highs and lows of rodeo relatable for both enthusiasts and newcomers.

“It’s hard to put into words how surreal and meaningful it is to have Let’s Freakin’ Rodeo airing on The Cowboy Channel. It’s truly a dream come true,” said Ty Harris. “And given the unexpected and heartbreaking passing of Roy Cooper, it only felt right to dedicate our very first episode to him. We had the chance to sit down with Roy just a couple weeks before, and it ended up being one of the most memorable conversations we’ve ever had. He wasn’t just a legend in the arena. He was a mentor, a hero, and someone who shaped the industry for generations. This tribute is for the Super Looper.”
