4.06 Bronco Buster

Episode Summary

Bronco Buster’s first hash was on July 4, 1986, in Mexico City, where the trail memorably passed through a newly opened McDonald’s. After a long gap, she returned to hashing in Nairobi in 1998 and later became deeply involved in Washington, D.C., Cambodia, and an international circuit of hashes and red-dress events.

She discusses the origin of her name, transport and trail challenges in East Africa, D.C.’s crowded event calendar, and the changing scale of Interhash and continental gatherings. The episode closes with her firsthand role in launching a Red Dress Run in Phnom Penh and a thoughtful defense of the tradition’s best qualities: spectacle, charity, friendship, and a welcoming excuse to bring very different hash communities together.
