      @@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.

    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!

    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.

    I live in Tulsa. My mother's side of the family has lived in Cherokee and Adair county since the 1820's. Cherokee heritage has always been a big thing in our family but so has Ozark heritage. I'd love to hear more about the Oklahoma Ozarks. Also, I don't consider Miami to be in the Ozarks either lol.

      Thanks for letting us know! We'd love to get more into the Oklahoma Ozarks as well.

      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.

    • @theozarkpodcast
      @theozarkpodcast  5 месяцев назад +1

      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.
