The Ozark Podcast · Jul 16, 2025 · 41m

In this episode, historian, homesteader, and University of Arkansas professor Dr. Jared Phillips joins us to unpack the misunderstood and rapidly changing cultural identity of the Ozarks. Recorded on-site at Branch Mountain Farm, we explores how outside forces shaped the region’s image, why tensions around land use and development are rising, and what it means to truly belong in the Ozarks.
