Ridin' Rank and Singin' Strong: Dakota Cowboy Brings Rodeo Grit and Country Music Heart
Scott shares what it takes to face down a steer and win—cowboy grit, strength, and years of experience. Then, we head to the chutes at Rodeo Minot where Tisa checks in with North Dakota’s own rising star, PRCA Bareback rider Ben Kramer. Young, determined, and built for rodeo, Ben talks about the thrill of the ride and what keeps him chasing eight seconds. But that’s not all. Co-host Beni Paulson returns with part two of his Nashville series, digging deep into the heart of country music. From backroom songwriting sessions to center stage performances, Beni shows how music fuels the cowboy soul and connects folks from the ranch to the radio. With true western spirit, these stories blend rodeo grit and musical heart, showing that both are built on tradition, passion, and a whole lot of hard work. And don’t forget your “Headlines from the Saddle,” where Tisa rounds up the latest rodeo news and happenings from across cowboy country. Whether it’s the roar of the crowd at a rodeo or a song that stirs your soul, this episode reminds us why the western lifestyle is worth preserving. Dakota Cowboy delivers a powerful punch of rodeo action, music inspiration, and good old-fashioned storytelling—keeping the cowboy way alive, one episode at a time.
