The Oklahoma Youth Expo is an event like I’ve never seen! I went a few years ago to watch. Let alone is their grand drive the coolest thing ever, bringing kids in the arena with a limo, but the event itself is huge! OYE is the world’s largest Junior Livestock Show with more than 7,000 4-H and FFA members and more than 13,000 head of cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and ag mechanics projects. It’s amazing to see all of the livestock shown by exhibitors just from Oklahoma. The show is so tough, so getting in the top in a big deal. That’s why I wanted to bring on the Grand Champion Barrow winner of this year’s OYE, Wade Richey, to learn what it takes and his tips to being the best.

Hi, I'm Joe!

I'm 11 years old, live in Iowa and love showing livestock. My parents have always listened to podcasts in the truck, so I naturally got hooked. However, it wasn't until I was at a Walker Hayes/Parmalee concert in the fall of 2022, when I caught the ambition to start a podcast.

I was in front row with my friend Jace and during the Parmalee concert, the lead singer handed me his electric guitar. After that night, I was contacted by two different radio stations and was able to be interviewed on air. The radio personalities showed me around the station and their equipment. From there, I thought how fun would it be to talk about livestock with my friends on a podcast?

And that's how The Joe Show started.
