Saddle up and let's make our way back into cowboy-landia! We did our first episode on cowboys back in 2021, and thought they wouldn't come back. Well we're eating our hats, because darn-tootin' if they haven't reappeared on our shelves! In this episode, we discuss why that could be, and what other possible genres could be making a comeback.
