About this listen

In the heart of Tombstone, Arizona, a gunfight erupted that would echo across history, but the real story of the O.K. Corral is far messier, bloodier, and weirder than the Hollywood versions let on. This week, we dive deep into the tangled web of grudges, rivalries, and outright chaos that led to one of the most infamous shootouts of the American Wild West. But the O.K. Corral wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning. In this episode, we unravel the bloody aftermath: the revenge killings, the manhunts, and the myth-making that would turn Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday into reluctant legends. We’ll explore how a dusty frontier town became the backdrop for a brutal power struggle, and why the real Tombstone story is far stranger (and far sadder) than you were ever taught. So holster up, Weirdos! This isn’t your sanitized Wild West. This is Tombstone’s Bloody Reckoning. - Thank you for listening Weirdos!
