Send us Fan MailStep into the captivating world of the American frontier, where history, grit, and surprising truths converge to reshape everything you thought you knew about the Old West. In this engaging address, our speaker Dr. Frank Sharp peels back the layers of myth to reveal a astonishing reality: post-Civil War Texas was pulled from deep economic depression not just by hard-working cowboys, but by the legendary Texas Longhorn itself—a drive that infused what would be billions of dollars in modern currency into a devastated economy. Drawing on decades of firsthand research and vivid field experience, the narrative takes listeners from the original 1493 Spanish cattle imported by Columbus straight to the dusty trails of Fort Griffin and the iconic Western Cattle Trail.Yet, this isn't merely a nostalgic walk down memory lane; it is an urgent rally for historical preservation. Listeners will be hooked as the speaker exposes a startling modern tragedy: while hyper-selective breeding has filled associations with crossbred "freaks" valued solely for oversized horn spans, the true, genetically pure, small-bodied Texas Longhorn is actually on the brink of critical extinction. With a perfect blend of Third-Grade math, sharp wit, interactive banter, and authentic passion, Dr. Frank Sharp offers an unforgettable look at the animal that quite literally carried American civilization forward. Tune in to discover why saving the true Texas Longhorn means safeguarding the very heart of Western heritage.History AnalyzedHistory Analyzed is a podcast which investigates both history's biggest moments and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Pull on your boots and saddle up for another journey into the Old West! This week, we're celebrating one of radio's most beloved heroes with two exciting adventures starring The Lone Ranger. Along the way, we'll encounter mistaken identities, dangerous outlaws, and a villain whose name may sound familiar to longtime listeners. We'll also take a nostalgic look back at the incredible legacy of The Lone Ranger, the impact the series had on generations of children, and share a few personal memories about my brother, whose love for the masked rider made this episode especially meaningful. In This Episode A look back at the remarkable history of The Lone Ranger radio series. Little-known facts about the actors who brought the masked man to life. Memories of my brother's childhood adventures with his Lone Ranger outfit. "The Notorious El Diablo" (March 28, 1956) "The Apache Kid" (March 2, 1938) Which Apache Kid is the more dangerous outlaw—the one from The Lone Ranger or the one from The Cisco Kid? You decide! Featured Stories The Notorious El Diablo Originally Aired: March 28, 1954 - The Lone Ranger goes undercover by impersonating the infamous outlaw El Diablo in hopes of infiltrating a dangerous gang. Unfortunately, there's one problem—someone else is already pretending to be El Diablo! What follows is a fast-paced tale of deception, mistaken identity, and classic western action. The Apache Kid Originally Aired: March 2, 1938 - A notorious outlaw known as the Apache Kid is terrorizing the frontier, and only the Lone Ranger and Tonto stand between him and justice. If the name sounds familiar, that's because we recently encountered another Apache Kid while riding with Cisco. Are they the same villain? Probably not—but this one is every bit as dangerous.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're heading into the Old West with one of radio's most enduring heroes—The Cisco Kid. From 1942 to 1956, Cisco and his faithful friend Poncho rode across the American Southwest helping the innocent, bringing outlaws to justice, and proving that courage and kindness could go hand in hand. What makes these adventures especially interesting today is that they were considered children's entertainment! Yet these stories are filled with murder, revenge, dangerous outlaws, and plenty of gunfire. It's a fascinating reminder of how much storytelling—and what we consider appropriate for young audiences—has changed over the years. This week we present two exciting adventures from the golden age of radio. In This Episode A look at the history of The Cisco Kid radio series. The surprising origins of Cisco in O. Henry's 1907 short story The Caballero's Way. How radio transformed a ruthless outlaw into a legendary Western hero. "Cisco Meets the Apache Kid" (January 8, 1953) "The Meanest Man in Arizona" (July 24, 1952) Why these action-packed Westerns were considered family entertainment in the 1950s. The lasting legacy of Cisco and his lovable sidekick, Poncho. Featured Stories Cisco Meets the Apache Kid (1/8/1953) - Cisco and Poncho are asked to track down one of the most feared killers in the Southwest. As they follow a bloody trail across Arizona, they discover that the truth may be even more dangerous than the legend of the Apache Kid. The Meanest Man in Arizona (7/24/1952) - The title only hints at what's to come. What begins as a confrontation with a notorious bully quickly unfolds into a gripping tale of revenge, cattle rustling, murder, and frontier justice. As always, thank you for listening to Ron's Amazing Stories.

Over the years, we have travelled to many places said to harbour an unusually high number of strange and unexplained events. Locations where multiple witnesses claim to have encountered bizarre phenomena, often under circumstances that continue to defy explanation to this day. In this episode, however, our journey takes us not simply to another place, but to another time. To an age of cattle drives, frontier settlements, and dusty trails disappearing into the horizon. An era of cowboys, outlaws, and prospectors. But according to some accounts, these were not the only things roaming the vast landscapes of the American frontier.

Have you ever sat on the Metro and wished it could transport you anywhere you dreamed? In her new novel Retro, D.C. author Jessica Goldstein imagines the Metro not as the boring backdrop of everyday life in the DMV, but as a time machine, ferrying wealthy tourists to the Old West for bachelorette parties, Prohibition-era speakeasies, and other moments in history.

Only a few Westerns contain explicitly Jewish stories or themes, and very rarely do Old West tales involve identifiably Jewish characters. Yet Jewish contributors have shaped the Western—once Hollywood's most popular genre—ever since the silent era, both onscreen and offscreen, and some filmmakers have sought to infuse the genre with a distinctly Jewish sensibility. In Chai Noon: Jews and the Cinematic Wild West (University of Wisconsin Press, 2025), Friedmann engages with larger themes of Jewish identity in popular film, including depictions of race, ethnicity, and foreignness. He also identifies similar concerns within the invention and creation of the imaginary West writ large in American culture. The juxtapositions prove to be both unexpected and intuitively understandable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Old West paid out $1.37 million in Heber City, put some of the best rope horses in the industry on display and backed it all up with a horse sale that proved just how fast this side of the business is growing.Chelsea Shaffer sat down with Rhen Richard to reminisce on the week in Utah, from Richard winning $186,000 on five different horses to what those results say about his training program, his family's breeding program and where the rope horse industry is headed next.Richard breaks down why consistency at home has mattered so much in his program, and how the time spent getting young horses truly broke is starting to show up when it counts. He talks through the horses that stood out in Heber City, including the ones raised out of his family's mares, and why the best futurity horses now have to be built with more than one job in mind.The conversation then dives into the crossover between futurity horses, rodeo horses and jackpot horses, and why a strong foundation matters long after a horse leaves the show pen. Richard also explains what he wants judges to reward, from scoring and control to a horse that stays true to the cow and looks like it has a future beyond the futurity world.They also get into the Old West sale, the $1 million bonus opportunity and what it means as more owners, breeders, trainers and ropers start buying into the system.

On a bright July afternoon in 1986, twenty-five-year-old London estate agent Suzy Lamplugh left her office to show a house to a client her diary noted only as "Mr Kipper," and she was never seen again.==========HOUR ONE: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)==========HOUR TWO: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way – something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special – possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein – but it's rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.

Mark Warren is an historian who used his knowledge of Billy the Kid's real life to write a fictional story about the legend of the Old West.  Billy the Kid was another key figure in American history with Irish roots.  Warren will talk about his book and the true historical figure of Billy the Kid.  He uses a novel to separate fact from fiction about this misunderstood character.

Jimmy Palmiotti has worn just about every hat in comics, artist, writer, editor, publisher, and creator, but today we're focusing on some of the stories that have defined his career and some exciting new work hitting shelves right now.Jimmy joins us to talk about his latest return to Marvel's hardest-edged vigilante in the new Punisher miniseries with artist Dan Panosian. We'll discuss Frank Castle's latest mission, the collaboration with Dan, and what makes the Punisher such a compelling character decades after his debut. We'll also dive into Jimmy's Daredevil/Punisher crossover series, bringing together two heroes whose ideas of justice couldn't be more different.Then we'll look back at one of Jimmy's most celebrated runs, his long partnership with Justin Gray on Jonah Hex and All-Star Western. From weird western adventures and horror stories to the streets of Gotham in the Old West, those books helped redefine what a western comic could be and remain fan favorites to this day.And we'll wrap up with Denver, the acclaimed creator-owned graphic novel from Jimmy and Justin Gray that's now back in print through Mad Cave Studios. We'll talk about revisiting the book, why its themes still resonate, and what it means to see a new generation of readers discover the story.

In a special interview, Will chats with Gary Goldman, the screenwriter of 1986's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. The setting of Gary's original story was very different than what we saw onscreen. Is there a future for this tale of ancient Chinese mysticism set in the Old West?Over the last several decades, Gary has written, produced, and otherwise improved a number of successful Hollywood films, including Total Recall, Minority Report and Basic Instinct. He's worked for every major film studio and collaborated on projects with directors Steven Spielberg, Paul Verhoven, John Carpenter, James Cameron, and Ridley Scott.0:00 - Introduction0:55 - InterviewFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snow

The St. James Hotel in Cimarron, New Mexico has hosted outlaws, gunfighters, gamblers, and legends of the Old West for nearly 150 years. With more than 20 preserved bullet holes in the ceiling, a permanently locked Room 18, phantom children, a protective spirit known as Mary Lambert, and ghosts that still roam the halls, many believe the most dangerous guests never checked out. Tonight, we step inside one of the most haunted hotels in America.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast   hauntedamericanhistory.com   Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH   Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334       AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S       EbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1   KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

​The curtains finally close on Sam Levinson's heavy-hitting HBO drama, and it leaves us completely shattered. In this episode, we break down the devastating, dreamlike series finale that brought a definitive—and highly debated—end to Rue's journey. From the heartbreaking fentanyl twist to Ali's intense, Old-West style quest for vengeance against Alamo, we analyze the symbolism, the blending of reality and imagination, and where the remaining East Highland crew lands. Was it a fitting send-off or a miserable slog? Let's discuss.

"It ain't easy having pals." We watched Young Guns (1988) with our good friend Millie De Chirico from the podcast "Dear Movies, I Love You", and we can give you six reasons why the West was so wild in the 1980s: it's our boys Emilio, Kiefer, Lou, Dermot, Casey, and Charlie. In a time where Western movies were in a dry patch, these young men helped breathe life into a dying genre. Photographed like a hair band music video, we're thankful there were power outlets in the Old West to plug in the hairdryers needed to blow out and feather these manes of 80s hair. We discuss our relationships with the six Brat Pack (and Brat Pack adjacent) cast; if any of us have actually seen the original "Young Guns" or just confuse it with "Young Guns 2"; and speculate what new young cast could possibly work in a Young Guns 3.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela 

How many people were legally hanged for stealing horses in the Old West? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Join me today as we bust one of the most enduring myths of the American frontier. Despite what Hollywood and dime novels would have you believe, there was never a time in the Old West when stealing horses was legally punishable by death. Not in Texas, not in Arizona, not anywhere west of the Mississippi. We'll dig into the Espy File (the gold standard for documenting legal executions in American history), the brutal English Bloody Code inherited by American colonies, the concept of "pious perjury," and why Western juries, much like their English counterparts, flat out refused to convict when they felt the punishment didn't fit the crime. We'll also discuss why the famous Arizona law making train robbery a capital offense only resulted in a single execution, how the cattle barons of the Johnson County War weaponized lynch mobs against innocent homesteaders like Ella Watson, and why guys like Doc Middleton, arguably the most prolific horse thief of all time, walked away with only a few years behind bars.   Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/   Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra   Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In the closing days of the Old West era, Burt Alvord forms an outlaw gang to rob trains in southern Arizona Territory. As the constable of Willcox, Arizona he has the perfect cover story: he can plan the robbery and then make sure his fellow lawmen don't catch the bandits. His idea works well the first time, but it hits a major roadblock the second time in the form of Wells Fargo express messenger Jeff Milton. In the town of Fairbank, near Tombstone, Jeff Milton fights Burt Alvord's gang in one of the final train robberies of the Old West. Thanks to our sponsor, Quince!

There's a rootin'-tootin, Old West, land-grazin' conflagration going on out on them dusty plains. Bison are somehow involved.
