Dude rancher Russell True and sidekick Steven Clauson team up in Tucson, Arizona to talk all things Western. They'll share adventures from the range, from the back of a horse, and a variety of western life adventures. (You may wonder how they lived to tell their tales!) And they'll have a roundup of guests, Western writers, horse lovers, chuckwagon chefs, ranchers, nature lovers. It's the West now and then.
