Every podcast has to start somewhere — and for the Drench Line, it starts exactly the way it should: two guys from the show barn, a story about digging a hole, and a whole lot of honesty about what it actually takes to navigate the show sheep and goat world.
Sam Silvers and Logan Newsom are the first to admit this is their first rodeo when it comes to podcasting. But when it comes to show livestock? Between the two of them, they've got decades of showing, feeding, fitting, judging, and yes — making just about every mistake in the book.
In this debut episode, Sam and Logan introduce themselves, tell the story of how they first met working summers for Rex Stultz in Eden, Texas, and lay out exactly what the Drench Line is going to be — raw, honest, and built for the families who need real answers from people who've actually been there.
Here's what they get into:
- Sam's road from Salado to South Plains to Texas Tech, a two-year stint in the U.S. Border Patrol, and his current role with BioZyme Inc.
- Logan's journey from the Texas Panhandle to Angelo State football to full-time sheep producer
- The infamous eight-foot hole they dug in Eden — and the mystery of filling it back in
- Why sheep and goats are the perfect first livestock project for young exhibitors
- What the Drench Line is really about: bridging the gap for first-time families who don't always know who to ask
Sam and Logan are quick to say this show will only get better from here — and we believe them. Episode 2 is already going to be a problem: they're tackling how to pick out your show animal, and they already know they won't agree on a single thing.
