Who am I?
My name's Josh, I'm an avid podcast listener and wannabe historian. In 2019 I decided to turn my love of both podcasting and Old West history into a little something now known as The Wild West Extravaganza. I've had a passion for all things Old West related from a very early age and it's an interest I've continued to pursue in the form of podasting.
