The Hippies & Cowboys Podcast will bring you conversation about everything within the world of country music. Each episode will feature fresh tunes from artists that are keeping the true sound and substance of the genre alive. Along the way, we will be giving these talented voices a platform to share a bit about themselves and provide the opportunity for listeners to get acquainted with their favorite artists. Sharing insight from both sides of the 49th parallel, hosts Garrett (Alberta) and Mike (Iowa) will promote great music, and try to figure out what the hell rhymes with Bronco.
