Love this podcast. He goes over the history of the lives of frontiersmen, outlaws, gunfighters, soldiers and lawmen with a humorous way. Btw: podcast of Dallas Stoudenmire or Jesse Evans would be wonderful!!!!!

Josh is a great host. He does a good job of being historically accurate and is always transparent and responsive on any corrections or updates. I find him hilarious and this show actually helped rekindle my curiosity a bit with the American “Wild West.” I like that he chooses a wide array of perspectives from the era and also takes into account that there are many that existed. Definitely recommend to Wild West history lovers!

Josh is funny, informative and keeps then podcast moving forward with a good pace. Love this podcast and look forward to new episodes always!

For someone who claims to be an idiot (Josh’s own words, mentioned numerous times if you listen to any of his episodes) he sure knows how to construct a truly entertaining show! No, this is not meant for children who want to learn more about the old west, think the tv show Deadwood or any of the Peckinpah movies, the content Josh tends to share is about the grittier side of the wild Wild West and frontier life of the earlier settlers. Yes, Josh swears a bit, or a bunch depending on the episode, but it’s part of the charm of his podcast, and it makes learning about the history of the old west a lot more fun! As far as the content, I find Josh to be very well researched and he’s not afraid to admit when he’s wrong, or encourage the listener to research the same information for themselves and tell him he’s wrong (of which Josh will mention on a future podcast), and he doesn’t try and convince anyone of his opinions. I, for one, enjoy a podcast on a where the host doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but if the host(s) act like immature idiots or aren’t well-researched, it hurts the creditability of the podcast. This isn’t the case with The Wild West Extravaganza! It’s kind of like how Dan Carlin doesn’t sugar-coat any of the subjects he talks about on his Hardcore History podcast (take a listen to his WWI series, tragic and absolutely brutal). Josh does the same, albeit with swearing, he tells it like it was based on whatever facts are available on the frontiersmen, gunslingers and outlaws of the wild Wild West!

Entertaining personality and great topics. Glad I subscribed

Josh is awesome, at first I just listened to episodes about people I had heard about, but now I am going back and listening to the others. Learning and enjoying as well as laughing. Thanks Josh! Keep at it. I need more episodes!!!

Josh is the best podcaster out there. I’ve been listening to all sorts of podcasts for 3 years and I haven’t heard a better story teller.

What a PodCast and a great listen if you want some Wild West History…Kickass and told right!

Screw those free speech hatin commies. I like the colorful way you tell the stories. I’d curse and swear if I felt like it! God bless America!

Really enjoy your podcast. Great content and awesome sense of humor.

This podcast is great. He has a way of putting a great spin on old west history. Always admits when he’s wrong and also painting a colorful picture try “Billy the Kids Last stand” for some of his best writings or try dodge city war, Bat Masterson. 11/10

This Person is wild and I enjoy them. Super informative, relaxed style but keeps my attention really well.

Not only are these podcast extremely informative they are hilarious! Very well researched and are presented in a way that’s unique and FUN This podcast is absolutely addictive! Very well done!

My favorite podcast anymore episodes coming out??

I happen to run across this podcast last summer and it’s been in my top 3 ever since! You can tell Josh has done his research and reading. His jokes need an ambulance, but he is definitely an entertaining podcaster. I wanted info on the Bloody Bender Family and he had a terrific episode on them. I stayed and I’m not sorry.

Love this podcast. He goes over the history of the lives of frontiersmen, outlaws, gunfighters, soldiers and lawmen with a humorous way. Btw: podcast of Dallas Stoudenmire would be wonderful!!!!!

I have really been enjoying this podcast. Perfect for Old West fanatics. Great work man!

Good podcast to listen to. Maybe Henry Lawton might strike your interest.

Really enjoy your podcast. Great content and awesome sense of humor.

Nez Perce is French. Pronounced “nay pearsay” Paiute is “pieute” Wallowa is “wuhLAWuh” Oregon is “orgun” or even “orgin”

Love the mix of facts and humor …. Well done !

Love it! I’ve listened to every podcast. Funny and real. Keep on pumping them out Josh!

Great stuff. Keep up the good work! A master work of weaving together history, humor, and foul language! Love every episode!

Josh lays down the law with the charm of Danny McBride. I would give it 6 stars if I could! But I can’t, so I didn’t.

If you like history and have a sense of humor, you’ll dig this podcast.

This podcast reminds me of those humorous, informative demonstrations you find in historical Western towns. The demonstrations where a historian can make you laugh and learn at the same time, even if the humor in this podcast is a little more “adult” than the rest. The jokes land and the host always clarifies when he is not 100% sure on the information he has gathered, so it is not a podcast filled with hubris, which I like. You can tell the host enjoys learning about the events and characters he talks about, which in turn makes it all the more entertaining. Great to listen to while working and driving!

Good content delivered in a fun light hearted way.

Great stuff here.

Fascinating tales of the old west. Exciting people and history. It’s a great podcast!

I love the story but why do you rush through it ? You need to slow down and let the story unfold. It’s not a race to the end. Frank
