In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.
Our guests and the information they share are especially relevant to men and women in northern Arkansas, southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and southeast Kansas.

Love how each episode pulls you in to the experience that the show is producing. It motivates you to get out into the hills, hollers, and creeks of the ozarks. Whether it’s in NWA, SW MO, or further east into the rivers. Great insight into local folklore, hunting, fishing. Even being 500
