Western of the Month

Saddle up for a ride through the Wild West! Road Gang Radio welcomes Megan Kate Nelson, renowned author and American Western enthusiast, to discuss one particular film of this uniquely American artform. Whether its a long cattle drive of a convo with Jimmy Mac or a quick draw response by Lindsay, Megan Kate can be counted on for her insights on historical accuracy, listening for marginalized voices, and, crucially, a great time at the movies.
