Way Out West

Chip Schweiger goes by "The Cowboy Accountant," which tells you right away this isn't your standard history show. Way Out West blends cowboy stories and western history with practical wisdom, often drawing parallels between frontier challenges and modern business decisions. Episodes run a tight 9-17 minutes, making them perfect for a quick lunch break or short drive. Across 82 episodes updated biweekly, Chip covers a wide range -- Bob Wills and the birth of Western swing music, Fannie Sperry Steele's rodeo career, Kit Carson's frontier exploits -- always finding the thread that connects historical grit to present-day perseverance. The show has a 4.8-star rating from 8 reviews, with listeners calling it educational, entertaining, and genuinely fun. That combination of historical storytelling and actionable life lessons gives Way Out West a unique angle in the western podcast space. Chip's accounting background might seem like an odd credential for a cowboy podcast host, but it gives him a structured, analytical approach to storytelling that keeps episodes focused and efficient. He's been at it since 2021 and the production quality stays consistent. Short, smart, and rooted in real western history.
