Y'all loved part 1 of our interview with Dr. Brooks Blevins so as promised here's part 2, which might even be more insightful than the first. Dr. Blevins is the Noel Boyd professor of Ozarks Studies at Missouri State University and on this episode we continue where we left off on cultural identity, why it matters, and the history of the Ozarks. Dr. Blevins is, beyond a doubt, the leading voice for Ozark history, and we dive into self-revealing topics for Ozarkers in this episode such as:

• Are the Ozarks culturally southern?
• Where the tension between Missourians and Arkansawyers stems from
• The "hillbilly" persona of the Ozarks is dead... or is it?
• Why the history of the Ozarks isn't actually "Ozark History" at all

You're in for a treat with this one.
