Native in the Spotlight: Randy Taylor
Rodeo announcer Randy Taylor (Cherokee) knows what he’s talking about.
Taylor was a bareback rider for nearly 20 years. Forty years ago, the Oklahoma native was the first rider out of the chute at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After a stint in college and then as a chiropractor, Taylor turned to announcing, with his voice now recognizable all over and on his nationally syndicated show, “Word With A Champ.” For his work, he just received the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism.
Taylor is also a dedicated advocate for Native American youth. He is Native America Callins’ Native in the Spotlight for December.
