The only podcast dedicated to the rodeo secretary and event administration side of the sport. Hosted by a career rodeo secretary who has managed entries and payouts at over 400 PRCA and jackpot events, this show covers the nuts and bolts of running a rodeo from the office side — entry systems, ProRodeo Sports News reporting requirements, ground money calculations, added money structures, timed event judges, and coordinating with the electronic timing systems used in barrel racing and timed events. Episodes address common administrative mistakes that cost contestants money, how secretaries communicate with livestock contractors and arena staff, and the certification process for becoming a recognized PRCA rodeo secretary. The show also covers smaller jackpot and association rodeo administration for those running local events without PRCA affiliation. Practical, unglamorous, and completely essential for anyone involved in putting on a sanctioned rodeo.
