    Outlaws, Lawmen, & Forgotten Killers of the Old West (ENCORE)
    Apr 16 2026
    Join me as we examine five of the most dangerous and overlooked figures in Old West history. First up is Jesse Evans, the New Mexico outlaw who rode with Billy the Kid, helped spark the Lincoln County War, and then vanished without a trace. Next is Nate Champion, the cowboy who stood alone against fifty hired killers during Wyoming's Johnson County War. After that, we cover Billy Brooks, the buffalo hunter turned lawman turned horse thief who killed or wounded at least fifteen men across Kansas before meeting his end at the hands of vigilantes. Then we discuss Barney Riggs, the convicted murderer who earned a pardon from Yuma Territorial Prison, only to get into even more trouble back in Texas. And finally, we close things out with Old Man Clanton, the patriarch of the Clanton family, one of the key figures behind the Cochise County Cowboys in Tombstone, and the man whose crimes along the Mexican border made him one of the most feared men in all of Arizona Territory. This compilation is for all of you OTR truckers, shift workers, and insomniacs.

  • Climax Jim: Arizona's Slipperiest Outlaw

    Climax Jim: Arizona's Slipperiest Outlaw
    Apr 9 2026
    Rufus Nephew, better known as Climax Jim, was a cattle rustler, serial jail breaker, and possibly one of the most entertaining characters you'll ever come across in Old West history. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1876, he somehow ended up in Arizona as a teenager, riding for the infamous Hash Knife Cattle Company, where he earned his nickname after chewing through 12 pounds of Climax tobacco in under a month. What followed was a long and not particularly successful career of stealing cattle, getting caught, and escaping from just about every jail in the Arizona Territory. Whether it was tunneling through adobe walls with everything from a pocket knife to a spoon, to routinely slipping out of shackles, or even making a getaway in his birthday suit, Jim was nothing if not clever. And, for the most part, he got away with it.

  • Champ Ferguson | Rebel Butcher

    Champ Ferguson | Rebel Butcher
    Apr 2 2026
    Kentucky-born Confederate guerrilla Champ Ferguson used the chaos of the Civil War to settle personal grudges along the Tennessee border, racking up a body count that included his own neighbors and dozens of wounded soldiers. As one of only three people executed for war crimes, Ferguson went to the gallows unrepentant, calling himself a rebel to the last and asking to be buried in "good rebel soil.” Who was the REAL Champ Ferguson? True Southern patriot or just another homicidal maniac who used the war to satisfy his own blood lust?
