Frank Newsom is a professional bull fighter and travels with the PBR, which is one of rodeos largest stages. I enjoyed meeting Frank as he traveled around Amarillo doing media spots to promote the Koben Puckett Invitational where he will be signing autographs and meeting with the audience as well as providing protection to the riders at the event. In this episode I asked him how he got started, how he stays fit, and how he improves his skills everyday.

#028 PPP- Ramble- New House Podcast
Bit of a life update, we bought a new house! The process of moving has occupied most of my free time, and sadly my website and podcast got pushed to the back burner. We are now settling in, and I hope to get back on a more regular schedule. In this episode, I give a life update, define myself as a non-fundamentalist, and discuss the impact on the art you "choose" to consume.

This episode is the first of season 2 and marks the start of a new phase of The Panhandle Primate Podcast. I had a great time with season 1 and learned a lot through the process.

There are some literal squirrel chasing moments in this one so buckle up.

#020 PPP- Gunner Widowski
Gunner Widowski is a freelance photographer living and operating out of Amarillo, Tx. I first came across Gunner when he moved in down the street from my house. Around the same time that he moved into my neighborhood, his pictures started to creep into my instagram feed. In this interview, we cover how he got into photography, what makes Amarillo unique, and how intention can change a culture. I am hoping that this is the first of many appearances on the podcast.
