Tie-Down Roping Host Taylor Vollin

Hailing from Salinas, California, Taylor brings a wealth of rodeo knowledge and a deep-rooted passion for the industry. Having grown up immersed in rodeo culture and now engaged to a calf roper, Taylor’s journey from competitor to journalist has given her a unique perspective on calf roping.

Together, the new Breakdown Podcast hosts represent a blend of backgrounds and expertise that promise to deliver comprehensive coverage of tie-down and breakaway roping.

As the Breakdown podcast evolves into two distinct segments, tie-down breakdown and breakaway breakdown, Taylor and Lillian are poised to take listeners on a captivating journey through the world of rodeo. From in-depth profiles of athletes to timely news updates and heartfelt horse stories, the podcast aims to offer something for everyone. With their shared dedication to the sport and a commitment to excellence in journalism, Taylor and Lillian are ready to lead the podcast into its next chapter, providing listeners with engaging content and a deeper understanding of the rodeo community.
