Ozarkian Folk Chronicles explores all things Ozarkian - both fact and fiction, myth and legend - or profound and preposterous! The variety of guests is excellent. Whether it’s an episode about forest and river preservation, folk songs and stories, or Bigfoot sightings, there’s a lot to love and a great value for the cultural and historical aspects.
I really enjoy this podcast for a number of reasons. The hosts are engaging and knowledgeable and their guests come from a plethora of backgrounds. The topics are very diverse but the Ozarks is always center stage. Bravo!
Hayden & Curtis do a great job of filling each episode with lots of fun and interesting (wild!) Ozark lore and stories. They keep the guest content fresh and moving. It’s an educational and fun way to spend time learning about the Ozarks. Worth each listen.
