Om Podcasten

The Wild West Extravaganza is a weekly history podcast that explores the real-life people and events of the Old West. You'll meet shootists and scoundrels, lawmen with more grit than glory, drifters, dreamers, and the Indigenous peoples whose presence shaped the land long before the rest came calling. These aren't dime-novel yarns, but the kind of history that sticks with you—messy, human, and stubbornly true. So, saddle up and discover the real Wild West—the good, the bad, and the ugly.
