  • Should've Been A Cowgirl w/ Briggs Madsen
    This week on Should’ve Been a Cowgirl, we’re in Nashville for Stampede Days with PBR bull rider Briggs Madsen. Briggs takes us back to his rodeo roots in Honeyville, Utah, where his entire family has been part of the sport—from broncs to barrel horses. We talk about how watching 8 Seconds sparked his love for bull riding, what it was like breaking into the PBR, and even how he ended up on the same team as his younger brother.Briggs also opens up about balancing married life with life on the road, why Utah is one of the best-kept rodeo states, and his favorite way to experience new cities (hint: it’s not Broadway).If you love rodeo, family stories, and a behind-the-scenes look at PBR life, this episode is for you!
