A lot of the stories in the book are working with cattle or hunting trips or lessons learned from my mom and dad. But they also address kind of a way of life, that's kind of about the American West, that I think people are still very curious about today.

Why people recommend it
Not My First Rodeo by Kristi Noem is a political memoir detailing the author's upbringing in South Dakota, her entry into politics, and her perspective on leadership and personal liberty. The book received significant attention across multiple episodes of The Megyn Kelly Show. During an interview with the governor, Megyn Kelly provided a final plug recommending the book to her audience. Later, the publication became a focal point of intense discussion and critique surrounding controversies involving the author. Megyn Kelly and guest Carl Cannon discussed how a controversial anecdote about shooting a dog had been cut by editors and advisors from Noem's previous endeavors before ultimately appearing in this work. Commentary expanded to analyze how the book's contents, and subsequent audiobook alterations after parts were pulled from circulation, intersected with media scrutiny and political cross-talk. Specifically, Kelly contrasted the fallout with other political figures facing media scrutiny over disputed autobiographical claims. While initial appearances focused on promoting the politician's perspective on governance and rural life, subsequent episodes heavily dissected the media storm, the editorial decisions behind the text, and the public fallout from the author's own descriptions of her past actions.
