@@theozarkpodcast being from eastern central Missouri I always just assumed that we were Ozarkers. Growing up a stones throw from the Meramec river I'd say culturally that's all we would fit as. Great Episode. Learn something new every time.

@@jakesmith3891 yeah I’d say you make the cut for sure. Next week for part 2, we’ll figure out whether or not the Ozarks is southern or midwestern! Appreciate you listening, Jake.

Really enjoyed this! I’ve always been proud to be from the Ozarks!

Guys, this 2 part podcast series is outstanding. I’m a CEO/ Founder of a large fitness tech business in Springfield, MO - that’s my home and always has been. This is probably the best review of the historical, and cultural history of the Ozarks. I’ve had a big podcast for years (the Barbell Logic podcast) and every once in a while you hit on something magical. You guys did this with this two part series. Please feel free to reach out any time. I’m easy to find.

PREESH! Thanks for watching!

Super interesting to look at defining the Ozarks region in a way that is not based on rocks and soils.

Glad you got something out of it, Nathanael. We had a blast with the discussion!

A small world. I grew up south of Batesville. Now i live 5 minutes from Ozark National Forest. I work south side of Melbourne.

Funny I felt similarly proud of my geographic identity when read "Hill Folk"

It’s important to be proud of where you’re from and own it!

So is the Ozarks in the South? I say yes, but I'm from Arkansas Ozarks about 10 miles from the MO line.

Jury is still out, depending on who you ask! I would say the Ozarks has predominantly southern values and traditions, but a culture that isn’t confined to the South or the Midwest. The Ozarks has its own unique culture entirely.

Where are the Ozarks? C'mon man.....just sniff the wind and follow the meth vapors
