Why are 124 million people listening to podcasts? And why does that number grow steadily every day for men and women of all ages, all over the world?
Because people love stories, entertainment and news — and they want them in the palms of their hands.
Like music, podcasts are mobile and convenient. Download them directly to your phone and listen while driving, working, exercising or doing chores. But unlike music, podcasts are free and typically episodes run 30-45 minutes. The story engages you and time passes quickly.
In cinematic fashion, and in a series format like a TV show, “Legends of the Old West” tells the classic and true stories of the wild days of the American West. Listeners are entertained while also learning new details.

The American is known as “the world’s richest one-day rodeo” and pays out $2.5 million annually through a series of qualifiers, The Semi-Finals, and the final event, RFD-TV’s The American. The event unites the top athletes in the world from the PRCA, WPRA, and PBR world standings and pits them against underdogs who advance from The American Semi-Finals, together to battle for the biggest single paycheck of their lives.

Since Oct. 8th, there have been 18 large wildfires in Northern California. 11,000 firefighters are working long hours with little or no rest continue to battle the historically destructive Northern California wildfires that have claimed at least 40 lives, displaced about 100,000 people and destroyed approximately 7,700 homes and other buildings. Wiping out whole neighborhoods and damaged vineyards and farms in the heart of the state’s wine country.
As of Oct. 20th, there were still seven large wildfires burning in the region and firefighters had achieved majority containment, or were close to doing so, on all of them, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Fueled mostly by chewing tobacco, coffee and adrenaline, firefighters are “pushing it to the limits.”
“We have people who’ve been on that line for days, and they don’t want to leave that section of line because there’s still work to do, there are homes to save and they’re very passionate about it,” says Napa County Fire Chief Barry Biermann. “We’re public service employees and [that’s what] everyone does — we’re here to help.”
Getting firefighters off the line and rested is a priority, even if it’s against their will.
“It’s like pulling teeth to get firefighters and law enforcement to disengage,”
– Napa County Fire Chief Barry Biermann

This summer, news reports were filled with stories and photos of wildfires in the West, including in California, Washington and Oregon, and the devastation caused by these blazes.
In addition to endangering lives, homes, property and pets in the path of wildfire, these infernos also produced air quality issues for these regions and beyond. According to an article in the New York Times, summer wildfires generated plumes of smoke that spread across large regions of the country.
In early September, the air quality in the Pacific Northwest was temporarily the worst of any air quality being observed in the world. This was according to Berkeley Earth, an organization that monitors the climate. Both Washington and California declared states of emergency as skies browned and air filled with smoke. Regions of Oregon saw snowing ash.
