The Wild West wasn’t what Hollywood told us.

In this episode, we uncover the forgotten history of Black cowboys — who made up an estimated 1 in 4 cowboys in the 1800s — and spotlight rodeo legend Bill Pickett and lawman Bass Reeves. From cattle drives to cultural erasure, we’re rewriting the myth of the American cowboy.

Expect plenty of “Wait, what?!” moments, Brandon’s sarcastic commentary, and Jessica's several rants.
