Well, I guess I owe my listeners an apology. I didn’t get a podcast out this week - sorry about that. It’s been a busy week! Fear not though.... I’m working on a double feature for this week.

I just wanted to say thanks to those who have liked the page and follow the podcast. It’s nice to see that others are as interested in the Ozarks as I am.
