    As someone who grew up in the Ozarks then went to undergrad in the heart of Ozarks I really appreciate their dedication to persevere the culture. As I try to explain where I’m from to fellow graduate students or people not from the Ozarks this podcast helps significantly.

  • Learning about my home!

    I’ve lived my entire life in the Boston Mountains and have always believed it’s the best place to call home. This podcast teaches me something new, about the place I call home, every time I listen! I have enjoyed every episode and regularly listen to older episodes. I also have started sharing it with my family, friends, and with my customers (because as a family moving company we are bringing new people to live here all the time!)
