About this listen

 Champ Herren and Todd Wilkinson share a deep love of our Ozarks hills. As far back as their time at MSU (then SMSU), they read everything by Vance Randolph they could get their hands on, and for some years, they presented these stories around campfires to various groups. Now Todd and Champ are together again in this podcast about the Scots Irish immigration to the States, first to Appalachia and the deep South and then to the Ozarks. From folklore to folk magic, the influence of the Scots Irish can still be felt in Ozarks culture today. Knowledgeable and entertaining, Todd and Champ will re-introduce you to the hardscrabble folks who carved out their homesteads in the Ozarks.
