About this listen
Is it Possible to ‘Cowboy’ on Six Continents?
That is just what J. B. Zielke did in his early twenties. Argentina to Mongolia, Mexico to Australia this book takes you to places that you may not have even realized there are cowboys. Gunfights, feral bulls, bank truck robberies, and little old men riding reindeer are all part of this modern-day international cowboy journey.
Being a cowboy is a dangerous occupation no matter where in the world it’s done. There are many similarities among cowboys all over the world but even more, differences are discussed in this book. It will leave you with a new appreciation for the problems ranchers face all over the world. Whether you live in a big city high-rise or on a ranch this collection of true stories will have you on the edge of your seat.
Music by Brennan Scott Greene and Blan Scott

“As cattlemen, we dream of what life was like on a trail crew driving herds north with no fences in sight. Places where technology fades away, and the spirit of the wild is still king. Something has driven J.B. to travel to where the modern world has just begun to meet the untamed land. In this book, he records what those worlds are like while they still exist." —Colter Wall

Unique and inspiring story, poor performance
Got a lot from this story. Weirdly, putting the speed on 1.5 made the performer's forced drawl less annoying. Zielke does have a douchy "then I partied with the cool kids and hot girls" part of each trip. Otherwise, it was some incredible stuff.

Returned due to narration
I really wanted to enjoy this book, was looking forward to it, but I couldn’t make it through even a few chapters due to narration. The narrator was the wrong choice. No character, inflection, too rigid. The vibe of the book is literally cowboy, yet the narrator is so particular about each syllable he sounds like an AI. The styles don’t align whatsoever, so bad that it’s unlistenable especially for a credit’s worth.

Amazing stories
I could not get enough of the stories he told. The narrator was a little annoying but the overall story more than made up for it.

What a great story!
What an awesome listening experience this would’ve been if the narrator could’ve brought the story to life as it deserved to be.
