howdy from dodge city. This is brad smalley and the narrator of wild west podcast for the last several years. Well, the the first and only narrator at least so far for wild west podcast. Since we we incepted this several years back, it's been our joy to bring you the stories of Dodge City and the Wild West. We're trying to tell some stories that have really never been told, at least as far as the popular zeitgeist, and one of the most recent ways that we've been telling these stories is actually in person, out at my place, affectionately known as Udland Ranch, which is just several miles south of Dodge City, kind of a cool crossroads for the old Western Cattle Trail and the Fort Dodge Fort Supply Military Road Sort of ran right through where my place is at, and something that we decided to do this fall and winter at least as long as weather permits is we've got a big fire pit out there. That's just wonderful for gathering friends and family around a warm campfire, have a big pot of cowboy coffee and maybe make some food sometimes. Just gather and tell stories. That's what we've been doing on weekends here.

If you like these stories and you don't live in Dodge City or available to come, hang out with us at the fireside at Upland Ranch. There's a way that you can still hear these stories and many more that are not featured as part of the main sequence, the main content of Wild West Podcast, and that is you can subscribe to our extended content here at the podcast for just $3 a month. You can get stories of Luke McGlue, the graves on Boot Hill. You know, whatever we may be wanting to talk about in the near future, that again are just not part of the main narrative of Wild West Podcast. Some of the extra stuff that is fun to talk about but maybe not warrant an entire episode of its own. If you can't come out and hang around the fire, this is the next best thing.
