“This podcast is essential. I never really grew up with cowboy lore in my life, and hardly knew about the legacy of black cowboys. But I heard a promo for Black Cowboys on another podcast and was immediately intrigued by the quality and interesting concept.
Zaron’s narration and story telling abilities are rock solid. Every single story is exciting. I often find myself on the edge of my seat fully entrenched in what’s happening, and that’s rare for podcasts - I usually listen to them as background noise. But not Black Cowboys. This show is a full course meal on its own.
The production value is beyond incredible as well. From the intro theme song, which is so so good through to the sound effects, background tracks, and audio filters over the guest narrators - every little detail puts the listener deeper into the stories.
And this is all even before getting to the actual meat of the show - the history and stories of real black cowboys. Some of the history is better known, but Zaron gets into some of the more granular and untold stories of historic figures of the American West that our society was all too eager to ignore. And it’s complimented by his and his father’s own perspectives which are fun to listen to and amazingly valuable insights.
I love this show, and I can’t wait to hear more. And if it ever concludes, I can’t wait to go back through and listen again, and eventually to show my kids too so they can learn a part of our history that they probably won’t be taught in school. Thanks guys.”
