The Legend of Calamity Jane was a cartoon that debuted on American television in 1997 and disappeared before it finished its first season. Cause for Calamity is a podcast that goes through the show episode by episode; examining the tropes, themes, and topics while placing the show in the context of American western media.
This first episode kicks things off with a talk about the real Calamity Jane and dives into the insane beginning of the cartoon. Saddle up, friends. Let’s ride!
