the Ozarks with Dr. Jared M. Phillips, part 1 (ep 2, 19).
Manage episode 477121970 series 3551422
In this first part of our conversation with Dr. Jared M. Phillips, we take a necessary pause to consider not just what happened in the Ozarks, but how it began to feel. Before this region had a name, it had an identity-forming—shaped by those who came here looking for something hard, rugged, and remote.
Dr. Phillips helps us explore how the geography of the Ozarks, its agrarian limits, and the beliefs of early settlers gave rise to a cultural mythology still present today. We trace the roots of that identity through the stories we tell, the stereotypes we’ve sold, and the realities that often get left out.
This episode lays the foundation for understanding how Ozark identity formed—and how that story is still unfolding.
