2025 Gold Hermes Creative Award

Interesting Things with JC just won the Gold Hermes Creative Award for episode 1235 : “Three Turns to Freedom.”

Barrel racing wasn’t born in an arena—it was carved out of resistance. This episode rides through the untold story of how women transformed a sideline show into a pro sport.

Thank you, Maxine from Ripon, California, for sparking this one.
