Living Western

Clayton Marxer adventurecowboy.com

"Living Western" is a show dedicated to telling the real story of the rural American West through individual stories of amazing people who call this part of the country..."Home".

Are you curious about what life as a cowboy/cowgirl is really like?

Do you dream of someday living in the scenic landscapes of places like Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, or other places known for their Western culture?

Do you love TV shows like Yellowstone, The Cowboy Way, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown, and other western entertainment?

Would you like to know where your food really comes from and the process of how a steak makes it from a pasture to your plate?

Are you fascinated by stories of the human experience as lived in wild, remote landscapes in often harsh conditions, and how multiple generations of families have  continued to find that lifestyle so rewarding?

Do you love the sport of Rodeo? Are you a fan of the sport's greatest athletes and are you curious about their real daily life?

These topics are all parts of the authentic cowboy life and the goal of the Living Western Podcast is to share this life with all of you who might live in a completely different world and are not able to experience life as a cowboy yourself.  

If you are already a resident of our rural American West, and perhaps you are born & bred into the lifestyle of the working ranch cowboy, you too will enjoy this show and the guests who will share their stories with us.  Heck, we may even call you one day to be a guest on the show!
