Ozarkology is a study of the Ozarks. Join me, JW Rounder as I take you on an audio journey through this area of the U.S. that is full of tall tales and rugged trails. Every Sunday I post a new podcast episode along with a cartoon on my facebook page found at www.facebook.com/jw.rounder. Your comments and feedback are welcome. If you like. You can email me directly at theozarkologist@gmail.com. Thanks for checking out the podcast.
