Ep. 84 - Western Sports Round-Up Producer Karlee Peterson

Karlee Peterson is the dynamic mastermind producer behind The Cowboy Channel - a streaming network dedicated to all things rodeo and the western life. But if you had asked Karlee before college what her career would be, she would have told you “International Lawyer.” Great mentors gave her the opportunity to dabble in television production and she was hooked; combine that with her South Dakotan roots of rodeo, training horses with her family and the western lifestyle, and it created the perfect dream career for her!

Ep. 50 - Blazing Trails with Devan Reilly

When Devan Reilly realized that his college of choice in Casper, Wyoming, didn’t have his sports of football or wrestling, the former standout high school athlete decided to try the sport of rodeo. A native of Sheridan, Devan didn’t have the funds necessary to buy a saddle for saddle bronc and didn’t have a desire to be chased by bulls. He did have a love for legendary cowboy and country music singer Chris LeDoux and, just like LeDoux, Devan became a bareback bronc rider.

He would be more like his idol than he originally thought however as, in 2017, he started using his voice to share his love of the western lifestyle, rodeo, guided hunting, and war heroes through his Blazing Trails podcast. Today, Devan is a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association bareback bronc rider, guided hunter, and hobby rodeo podcaster.
