The Ozark Podcast

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.Our guests and the information they share are especially relevant to men and women in northern Arkansas, southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and southeast Kansas.

Love this podcast

I always enjoy listening to this podcast. From hunting to fishing to everything I never knew about the Ozarks. Keep em coming!
Ozarker_from_tx

Nothing better

Love how each episode pulls you in to the experience that the show is producing. It motivates you to get out into the hills, hollers, and creeks of the ozarks. Whether it’s in NWA, SW MO, or further east into the rivers. Great insight into local folklore, hunting, fishing. Even being 500 Miles away feels like I’m there.
Tmartin3489

Great Listen

I love listening to this podcast as someone who came to hunting and fishing later in life it’s very informative and helps me be a better conservationist!

Excellent Podcast!

Great episode! Spot on with tons of helpful knowledge. Love that they include both NWA and Southwest Missouri in the show as I frequent both. Love this podcast! Keep up the great content! Foraging, fishing, hunting, these guys cover it all and keep it interesting.
CletusG

Now Hear This!

It’s so great to have a local podcast to document and share information about our home area. Really valuable tips and information that anyone can relate to. Especially enjoyed the Beaver Lake focus and the local rivers content. Looking forward to this for years to come!

Awesome content and keep it coming!
Cartreece

Great Vibe, Great Info

I’m from the St. Louis area and have spent a lot of time enjoying the Ozark outdoors mainly fishing rivers. Kyle and Kyle host conversations on a wide array of interesting topics relative to the area. And they make it feel like friendly people sitting around your family chatting. It’s a regular stop on my Podcast rotation and I’ve recommended it to all my buddies.
Luketheviking

Great Listen

Awesome podcast! I always look forward to hearing a new episode. As someone who grew up in the Ozarks, but lives in Southern Arkansas now, its refreshing and comforting to stay in touch with my roots, even when im not there. 10 out of 10, have recommended this show to all my friends.
mizzoufrat

Good ole boys with some good content

I like that they are consistent on their uploads with meaningful content in a region where there is lacking podcast material. Its good to discuss local issues and topics. 5/5
NicT.92

Good Stuff

Fantastic podcast!!! I really enjoy hearing about the history of the Ozarks and what makes our region unique. Keep it up.
wboley1

Best in the Ozarks

I absolutely love the way Kyle and Kyle tell stories about the Ozarks. You had me hooked with the fishing content, but what keeps me coming back for every new episode is the incredible range of topics you cover about the region. From the food and traditions to the lore and the land itself, every story resonates with anyone who calls the Ozarks home. There's always something new to appreciate and learn, no matter how familiar you are with the area. Hats off to you both—keep the episodes coming!
foureyedloser92

Great show!

You guys are truly capturing the culture of the Ozarks and it’s amazing. Keep this up, god bless!
Ahren Mule

One of my favorite podcasts-very well rounded and always entertaining

Found this podcast about a year ago and have loved it! They never fail to entertain and cover their bases really well, from hunting to fishing and diving into the history in between, always makes for a great show. Keep it up guys!
elgele32

The ozark podcast

Only real podcast like it with strictly ozark related content.
PapaPipin

Favorite podcast

I really enjoy all of the “common folk”conversations that make up the Ozark Podcast. Kyle and Kyle’s questions, interviews and stories about all things outdoors make for some interesting listens. Keep up the good work!
Nate B the man

Thoughtful, Informative, Entertaining

Love Kyle and Kyle’s content. The Ozark podcast really gets at the storytelling and info sharing that makes recreating in the Ozarks great. If you’re looking for a podcast that explores smallmouth, deer, conservation, and Ozark legend, this is it!
sagegoat

Informative and Clean

Even though I don’t hunt or fish in the Ozarks, I still like to hear about it. I can apply some of the things they cover where I hunt and fish.
Nate_Ervin

Great listen!

This show is a perfect way to learn, educate and kick your feet up to the stories and events happening right at our doorstep here in the ozarks. Often feels like a couple guys reminiscing on grandpas stories in the ozarks! Thanks for the show, guys!

SW Missouri Hunter

This podcast is homegrown for me growing up and living here in the Ozark's. I enjoy the variety of topics, if you guys are ever in sw Missouri looking for a place to hang a stand hit me up!
Brent from JB

Love the Show

As someone who is a native Arkansas and has some deep roots in the delta, but has driven 1-2 hours to hunt and explore the Ozarks my whole life, I absolutely love listening to this pod. So cool to hear the guys talk about things and places I know/have been, hear strategies, legends, folklore, and other things that are all Ozark. It’s a special and under appreciated region of this country. Will be listening for as long as this show is on.
eliburkemper

Glad I found this!!

I’m a new listener and I’m so glad I came across this podcast! Growing up in Missouri the Ozarks have always been special to me. Love hearing all the stories that come out of the region. This will definitely become part of my regular podcast listening rotation!!
Fawn Stickney

Great Podcast ! Keep up the good work!

Great interviews!
Saltlake98

Food For Thought

The Kyles put together insightful interviews with the most interesting people in the Ozarks. It’s a great listen for conservation enthusiasts, hunters, fishermen, and anyone else who loves this big beautiful eroded plateau we call home.

Worth checking out

Good podcast by hosts that are willing to learn along with the listener. Unique and relevant topics about a culture and a landscape that have deep roots. Kyle Carroll

What a find!

Just what I was looking for-a great podcast all about the outdoors in the Ozarks. I love the blend of hunting and fishing stories and conservation issues. The five-part series on the Neosho bass was fascinating!

New listener

Love this show. Been following along since the Neosho series after hearing on bear grease pod. This show is fantastic. Hosts are fun and relatable, information is highly relevant.
MOutdoors

Love that it's all about the Ozarks

Heard about this podcast on a Bear Grease Render episode recently. Really glad I heard about them. Love that it's all Ozarks hunting and fishing and Ozark history as I grew up hunting and fishing the Missouri Ozarks. Great show guys. Keep it up!
Kyle Kilgore

Love it

As a fellow Kyle from the Ozarks, (stone county MO)I love every episode of this show. High quality across the board. These guys and their guests are a true representation of the Ozarks.
Austin from Bella Vista

Great tips for NWA

Great for the area. Hunting the ozarks is very different than where I grew up in the Louisiana pines. I listen to this for some helpful tips that are centered around my new home in Bella Vista AR.
ByGod Wilson

Glad they are here

As a believer in the importance of the outdoors these guys provide information to make the time outside better. Information and knowledge of the people who make the Ozarks special is a given on every episode.
mkp200.1

perfect for learning

new outdoorswomen here - absolutely love this podcast for the easy to learn tactics and a humble approach to guests conversations. you have a lifetime listener!
Jmasshunter

Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed!!

I have spent all my life in the Ozarks born & raised in SWMO, and now living in NWA. I love how these guys are highlighting the people who make this area home for an outdoorsmen. I continue to learn from them and their guests with each episode, and know that I am a better Ozarkan for it! Keep up the good work fellas and we’ll see you on the water!
Mr. Review Guy.

Great Podcast

If you’re looking for a podcast that covers a variety of outdoor related topics in a professional/high quality format, this show is for you. It doesn’t matter if you live in Arkansas or not. The knowledge and information spans farther than the Ozarks. However, the Ozarks has a unique history, tradition, and culture that this Southern App guy particular appreciates learning more about via this podcast. Keep up the good work!
Ezb 85
