Witty Bitty’s of Nevada

Witty Bittys of Nevada takes listeners deep into the desert — into drowned towns, haunted hotels, hot springs, mining camps, and the forgotten stories of the people who lived, loved, and sometimes vanished here. Sheri and Rosa blend historical truth with humor, character sketches, and frontier‑themed reenactments, from Highway 50 legends to ghost stories to the emotional saga of St. Thomas. And when the mood strikes, they throw in a frontier Bachelor, a saloon murder mystery, or a Vanderpump‑style reunion. Always witty, always heartfelt.
