The Score from The Team Roping Journal

The Score is the official podcast of The Team Roping Journal, and with 629 episodes and counting, it is by far the most prolific podcast covering the team roping world. The show mixes two formats that work well together: longer in-depth interviews with the sport's biggest names, and shorter "Short Score" segments that recap major events like the National Finals Rodeo round by round. The guest list reads like a who's who of team roping. Recent episodes have featured Travis Browne discussing his transition from UFC to team roping, plus recaps of every NFR round with world champions Andrew Ward and Jake Long. The hosts (Jake and Clay, according to long-time listeners) clearly know the sport inside and out and ask questions that get past the typical "how'd you feel about that win" surface stuff. At 4.7 stars with 476 ratings on Apple Podcasts, this is one of the highest-rated western sports podcasts period. The NFR coverage alone makes it worth following -- getting rapid-fire recaps of each round with expert analysis is something no other podcast does as consistently. But the longer interview episodes are equally strong, pulling career stories and training wisdom out of headers and heelers at every level. If team roping is your thing, The Score is not optional. It is the definitive audio source for the sport.
