Tanner joins us again as we look at Operation Roadhouse, an official government investigation into if the short-lived annual Truman Reservoir paddlefish snagging season had been compromised by the Russian Mob. We also talk about Cavenders again

We decided to try doing a Pub Quiz style episode, featuring our friend Tanner from the podcast Beyond the Breakers. Three rounds, covering mascots in The Ozarks (and beyond), classic Ozarks slang and a round that goes over what we've learned over the course of the podcast. It's not an easy one!

A look into several different Viking runestones that have been discovered in Oklahoma, with specific emphasis on the Heavener Runestone. We also touch on the Van Buren Mystery Grave

A look at a strike in Joplin in 1902-1903. We also read emails about some listener perspectives on Ozarks geographical identity. We also just chat, more or less, for the first 10 minutes, but I think there's a handful of things you might want to hear

Podcast shirts are on sale because Sharp bungled the release

Knowing there will not be a regular episode this week, we have recorded a Crime Report on a trout heist at Devito's over the weekend, a popular Italian restaurant near Harrison, Arkansas

We go off-script for this one (something we've been talking about for a while) and each tell a bit about how our families arrived into The Ozarks. Followed up by a longer conversation about Ozarks cultural identity

The story of natural gas tycoon Robert McClure Snyder and Ha Ha Tonka (a lake, a house, a hotel, a state park) in the rural Missouri Ozarks. Lots of chit chat in this episode, just so you know

Just a little episode about recent Arkansas political happenings

The murder of Jonathan Selby in Cane Hill, Arkansas in 1845, and the trial and aftermath

This episode begins with an important message from Gus, before we meander our way through the tale of the Ozark Howler, and make a bunch of claims that are sure to rile up a large amount of our Ozarks-native listeners
