Hank the Cowdog Podcast
The first of the five Hank the Cowdog episodes will debut on Monday, September 14 with successive episodes released every Monday through October 12. The free podcasts can be accessed through Apple Podcasts or other podcast hosting services. More information about the series can be found at www.hankthecowdogpodcast.com;
Each of the five podcast episodes will have an educational activity prepared by the National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. These activities will be aligned with national curriculum standards and will focus on literacy, science, STEM and social and emotional well-being. Learning with podcast activities is a hands-on way to engage listeners and can be easily accessed for free at www.ranchlifelearning.com or www.hankthecowdogpodcast.com.
The National Ranching Heritage Center began partnering with Erickson in 2015 to provide a children’s Ranch Life Learning book series narrated by Hank the Cowdog. In a teaching style that is unique to the scruffy Head of Ranch Security, the books humorously teach readers about ranch life and include ranching as a business, livestock basics, ranch wildlife, ranch hands, horses and weather.
