A career and craft podcast for professional rodeo announcers and those aspiring to break into the business. The host is an PRCA card-holding announcer who has worked events from county rodeos to Circuit Finals, and covers the full scope of the profession — from developing a broadcast voice and reading stock sheets quickly, to building sponsor reads, managing a show with tight time contracts, and working alongside different bullfighters and entertainment acts. Episodes address how announcers get hired — relationships with stock contractors, arena managers, and rodeo committees — and what separates the announcers who work 80 rodeos a year from those who work 12. The show covers announcer school programs, PRCA card requirements, and what an announcer's actual income looks like at different levels of the circuit. Guest episodes feature legendary voices in the sport who discuss their career arcs and the changing landscape of rodeo entertainment production.
