Ep. 176 - Jared Phillips - Who ACTUALLY Benefits from the Mountain Biking Culture in the Ozarks?


Listen Later

In this episode, historian, farmer, and University of Arkansas professor Dr. Jared Phillips returns to explore the deep and sometimes uncomfortable tension between local communities and the growing cycling culture in Northwest Arkansas.

Set against the backdrop of heritage, land stewardship, and the values that shaped generations of Ozarkers, this episode tackles the question few are asking: who decides what progress looks like and who gets left behind?

What is The Ozark Podcast?

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.
