    Join Curtis and Hayden when they sit down with Misty Langdon, a multi-generational Ozarker who lives with her husband on her family's farm.

She is a local historian--Misty records the stories of her friends and neighbors in her Remnants Project--and has a comprehensive knowledge of the Buffalo's past. She is concerned about the abuse of the river at the hands of careless revelers as well as the future of the river in the hands of moneyed interests. Don't miss this important episode!

  • Episode 37 - A "Randolph Round Up" of Folktales with Shannon Thomason

    Episode 37 - A "Randolph Round Up" of Folktales with Shannon Thomason
    Oct 2 2024
    Join Curtis and Hayden when they sit down with comedian Shannon Thomason, also known as "Applejack," for a reading of folktales from the collections of Vance Randolph. These tales focus on dimwitted Jasper and similar young men who may not be too bright but nevertheless come out on top in the end. These are the stories that amused the folks of a hundred years ago and continue to tickle funny bones today. They also spawned a character who has shown up in a host of popular shows, from Jethro Bodean in "The Beverly Hillbillies," Lil Abner in the comic strip by Al Capp, and Junior Samples in "Hee-Haw" to Karl Childers in "Sling Blade" and Delmar O'Donnell in "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?"
