Embracing the Spontaneity of the Rodeo

Cheyenne Frontier Days Track Announcer Kyle Shobe calls it “rodeo spontaneous”:
The well-managed chaos that, ultimately, results in one heck of a rodeo… and a great show for the fans. 

Episode #6:
Embracing the Spontaneity of the Rodeo

In a way unlike any other sport in the world, rodeo thrives on the beauty of spontaneity—and no one knows this better than the fine gentlemen tasked with bringing the story of each rodeo to life.

Today, you’ll hear some familiar voices—Kyle Shobe, Cheyenne Frontier Days track announcer, and Garrett Yerigan, Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo Announcer—joined by Riggin Smith of Stace Smith Pro Rodeo, all coming together to celebrate:

  • What stands out most about putting on the rodeo in Cheyenne

  • The difference between what you see on The Cowboy Channel and what it’s like to be in the thick of the live event

  • What it’s like to go through a typical rodeo day as an announcer, and as a member of the Stace Smith Pro Rodeo crew

  • Why announcing for the rodeo is unlike any other sport—and what it gives announcers an opportunity to do for the fans

  • How technology has evolved (and elevated) the rodeo experience from every angle
