Kaitlyn McConnell has given her life to preserving the culture and stories of the Ozarks. Her focus is not simply on the past: She is also concerned with the activities and lives of Ozarkers today. Her passion has taken her all over the Ozarks, and in this episode, you'll learn more about Kaitlyn and her online project, Ozarks Alive! We hope you'll join us for this very special episode of the Ozarkian Folk Chronicles.

And don't forget our new addendum: Stories about the Storytellers. This segment introduces Deacon Frank Hembree, fiddler, float fishing guide, and contributor of the title story to Vance's notorious collection of bawdy tales, Pissing in the Snow. You can read about Frank Hembree in "Mildred, Quit Hollering," the final, posthumous collection of folktales by the inimitable Vance Randolph.
