The American Southwest
This is a podcast of the people, places, and things of the American West. Think cowboys and Indians, bison and cactus, national parks and ghost towns, Mormons and prospectors, nukes and aliens, Tombstone, the Anasazi, Route 66, and everything in between. I’ll dive deep into historical people and events and the cultures and policies that helped shape this area of the American frontier world that’s left so many of the rest of the planet in envy of the mythic American Southwest.

This episode of the American Southwest Podcast is the 5th in the series about the original Native American inhabitants of the region and specifically about the neighbors of the Anasazi that inhabited the American Southwest during the rise, reign, and fall of Chaco. It includes the people known as the Hohokam, Mogollon, and the Fremont. These people lived in Southern Arizona, Southern New Mexico, Northern Mexico, Northern Utah, and Nevada and they interacted with and influenced the Anasazi and Chacoan World that controlled the Four Corners Region. This episode finishes setting up for the coming Anasazi Civil War and the Migration/Vanishing Act of the Anasazi soon to come.
