| 2/24/26 | ![]() #178 Bill Ziegler — From Ted Williams to the Justin Healers | A Life in Baseball & Rodeo | From a small-town kid in Greencastle, Pennsylvania… to Major League Baseball clubhouses with Ted Williams… to rodeo arenas across America with the Justin Sports Medicine team — Bill Zeigler has lived a life most of us only read about.In this episode of Beyond the Chutes, presented by ParaSight Systems, Bill shares how a handwritten letter and a little help from Nelly Fox led him to the Washington Senators and 22 years in Major League Baseball. He talks about working alongside larger-than-life figures like Ted Williams, Nolan Ryan, and George Bush — and then stepping into the rodeo world at a time when cowboys had little to no medical support on the road.You’ll hear the story behind the early days of the Justin Sports Medicine program, the resistance they faced, and how the mindset of rodeo athletes changed as concussion protocols and injury care evolved. Bill reflects on legends like Keith Isley, Lecile Harris, Harry Vold, and Red Steagall — and why, after all these miles, what he misses most is the people.This is a conversation about toughness, timing, relationships, and recognizing when you’re standing in a blessed moment.These stories matter. | 1h 18m 55s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | ![]() #177 Phil Broome - Opportunity Period | Phil Broome grew up in northwest Georgia with a wrestling coach who taught him one thing: “This is your Opportunity Period.”That mindset carried him from high school state championships to the bareback riding chutes — but the road wasn’t straight, and it wasn’t easy.In this episode of Beyond the Chutes, Doug Simcox and Sam Swearingen sit down with Phil to talk about:• Winning a Georgia state wrestling championship in 1981 • Learning bareback riding the hard way at open rodeos across the Southeast • The influence of mentors like Lyle Sankey and John Luthi • The technical rebuild that changed his riding career • Making the leap to rodeo full time in his 30s • Competing in the PRCA and qualifying for multiple circuit finals • Major injuries, including shoulder surgery and the wreck that ended his career • And the brotherhood that helped fill the gap after losing his younger brother in 1986Phil doesn’t present himself as a legend. He presents himself as a competitor who loved the sport, learned from mistakes, and kept showing up.This episode is about mindset, persistence, grief, growth, and the relationships that make rodeo more than a paycheck.Because in the end, it isn’t just about buckles.It’s about the people you share the road with.This is Beyond the Chutes, presented by ParaSight System.#BeyondTheChutes #PhilBroome #BarebackRiding #RodeoLife #PRCA #IPRA #WrestlingMindset #CowboyBrotherhood #RodeoHistory #CircuitFinals #InOurRoots | 1h 56m 54s | ||||||
| 2/13/26 | ![]() #176 Bonus Episode | Frost Family — First Frontier Circuit, Maine Rodeo Roots | BTC is on the road at the First Frontier Circuit Finals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, sitting down with Larry Frost — a rodeo producer from Levant, Maine whose story proves rodeo doesn’t always start with a business plan.It starts with a dream, a family willing to do the work, and a commitment to community.In this Friday night bonus episode, Larry shares how a phone call turned into a charity rodeo that feeds cowboys lobster and steak, supports causes like Shriners and Make-A-Wish, and brings people together rain or shine. You’ll hear about perseverance, small-town rodeo roots, and why memories — not money — are the real payoff.Recorded live at the First Frontier Circuit Finals. Unscripted. Honest.

| 2/10/26 | ![]() #175 The Buckhorn Recordings - Kelly Clark: That's the Best I've Ever Seen It Done. | Recorded on the Texas Swing, host Doug Simcox steps inside The Buckhorn—Kelly Clark’s one-of-a-kind “man cave” that turned into a full-blown rodeo museum. Walls covered in championship saddles, a U.S. map marked with the places Kelly’s competed, and artifacts that stretch back to the early days of organized rodeo… it’s overwhelming in the best way.In this first conversation with Kelly, we start at the beginning: the Clark family story, the 1955 moment that lit the fuse, and the grit it took to build a life in rodeo. Kelly shares the remarkable legacy of his dad, John Clark—an IRA great with the Hall of Fame résumé—and the reality behind chasing world titles when rodeo isn’t a hobby… it’s a lifestyle.You’ll also hear Kelly’s perspective as a true rodeo historian: how the IRA/IPRA evolved, why “cards in your pocket” never mattered as much as talent, and how rodeo got better (and why it still needs people who care enough to leave it better than they found it).And then—right at the end—Kelly lands an unforgettable story that ties champions, family, and legacy into one word Doug can’t help but say out loud: “Wow.”📍 Bonus: You can see The Buckhorn in our Buckhorn Reels on the Behind the Chutes Facebook page.#BeyondTheChutes #BehindTheChutes #KellyClark #TheBuckhorn #RodeoHistory #RodeoLife #BullRiding #TexasSwing #RodeoPodcast #WesternHeritage #CowboyCulture #ProRodeo #IPRA #IRA #IFR #RodeoNews #JohnClark #HallOfFame #BuckingBulls #CowboyStories #RodeoLegacy #RanchLife #Chute2Productions #StockContractor #WesternLifestyle #CowboyUp #AmericanWest #RodeoFamily #BehindTheScenesRodeo | 51m 44s | ||||||
| 2/6/26 | ![]() #174 Raymond Hostetler & Tyler Waltz | PRCA First Frontier Circuit Finals | BTC On the Road AgainThis Bonus Episode of Beyond the Chutes was recorded on the road at the First Frontier Circuit Finals, inside the Penn Harris Hotel, while the competition was still unfolding.Sam Swearingen and Doug Simcox sit down with Raymond Hostetler and Tyler Waltz in the middle of the Finals, with rounds already completed and one more to go. The conversation captures real-time decision-making, Finals pressure, injuries, fitness, equipment changes, and what it takes to stay competitive in roughstock rodeo.After this conversation was recorded, Raymond Hostetler went on to win two rounds, the average, and the year-ending saddle bronc riding championship at the First Frontier Circuit Finals — a result that underscored everything discussed in this episode: preparation, patience, and trusting the process.There’s no polish and no hindsight here — just rodeo, recorded as it happened.BTC was on the road again, capturing the stories that matter, right where rodeo happens.🎙️ This is Beyond the Chutes. | 26m 04s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | ![]() #173 Rodeo Mindset: See It, Feel It, Trust It | Quiet Enough to Ride | Rodeo is won long before the gate opens.Recorded at the First Frontier Circuit Finals, this episode of Beyond the Chutes dives deep into the mental side of competition with bareback rider Tyler, saddle bronc rider Raymond, and rodeo cowboy, stock contractor, mentor and coach, Sam Swearingen.This conversation is part of our Quiet Enough to Ride series—where we explore why elite competitors agree that rodeo is 90% mental at the highest level.Inside this episode:Why visualization works (and how it replaces bad reps)The difference between conscious thought and flow state“See it. Feel it. Trust it.” — and why it mattersHow purpose (“your why”) fuels longevity in rodeoWhy “just making the finals” is a losing goalHow mental reps fire the same muscles as physical repsBuilding confidence without egoFixing mistakes without stepping into the practice penIf you’ve ever wondered why some competitors shine under pressure while others fade, this episode explains it—clearly, honestly, and from lived experience.Because great rides don’t start in the arena.

Riggin talks about staying fit, staying alert, reading animals, and approaching bullfighting as professional work — not bravado.They discuss coming back from injury, earning trust, learning the game the right way, and soaking in every opportunity, knowing that nothing in this line of work is guaranteed.There’s no polish and no hindsight here — just real rodeo, real responsibility, and the mindset required to step into danger for others.BTC was on the road again, capturing the stories that matter — right where rodeo happens.🎙️ This is Beyond the Chutes. | 33m 44s | ||||||

They talk openly about the current state of the PRCA, the challenges that still exist, and why ingenuity and strong relationships are required to keep rodeo moving forward.During the conversation, Tom praised the First Frontier Circuit and Brock Hower’s leadership, pointing to a season that added a fourth performance and raised the $85,000 required to fund it — a clear example of leadership, collaboration, and commitment behind the scenes.This isn’t a press conference. It’s a conversation about people, responsibility, and the work it takes to sustain the sport.🎙️ This is Beyond the Chutes. | 51m 25s | ||||||

| 1/20/26 | ![]() #168 From If to When: Karissa Landis at the First Frontier Circuit Finals | Beyond the Chutes | First Frontier Circuit Finals SeriesBefore the gate opens and the clock starts, there’s a moment when it’s just a rider, a horse, and everything you’ve worked on to that moment.In Episode 1 of our special First Frontier Circuit Finals series, we sit down with Karissa Landis, a barrel racer from Middleburg, Pennsylvania, whose journey to success has been shaped as much by trust and patience as by speed.Recorded on site at the First Frontier Circuit Finals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, this conversation goes far beyond the arena dirt. Karissa shares the deeply personal story of Old Man Cash — the horse who carried her through her youth, her grief, and her growth as a competitor.In a meaningful full-circle moment, Karissa purchased Cash from my daughter Kathleen Simcox, who took a soured barrel racing horse out of the arena for nearly two years and made riding fun again. By stepping away from competition, riding with a partner, and allowing a horse to simply be a horse, Cash found his way back — not just as a competitor, but as a true teacher.Karissa opens up about:Growing up in rodeo and starting young in barrel racingLearning hard lessons from difficult horses and tougher seasonsLosing a close friend and finding comfort in the stall, not the spotlightDeveloping the mental game required to compete at the highest levelAnd learning when to stop saying “if I win” and start saying “when I do”The results followed.At the 2026 First Frontier Circuit Finals, Karissa:Won the first roundPlaced in every roundFinished second in the averageAnd earned an invitation to the NFR Open in Colorado Springs this JulyBut this episode isn’t about stats on a scoreboard.It’s about what happens when riders show up for their horses, honor the process, and refuse to settle for anything less than their best.This is the story that sets the tone for the entire series.🎧 Beyond the Chutes — where the real rodeo stories live.#BeyondTheChutes #BarrelRacing #WomenInRodeo #RodeoLife#HorseAndRider #RodeoMindset #FirstFrontierCircuit #NFRopen | 56m 14s | ||||||
