Ever wonder what the "Wild West" was really like? In The Mad Wild West Podcast I have researched and found first hand stories lost in time from the people that lived through it. Listen as they take us through actual gun fights, finding gold, rough towns that are now our beloved cities, murders, corruption, hangings and many more stories from love to death - it will be covered. Also, advertisements and even headlines from the mid to late 1800's at the start of every episode . Come hear the true Mad Wild West Stories that happened - maybe happened right where you are standing now.
