Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

Your neighborhood pool may be short-staffed this summer — and the reason probably isn't what you think. Lauren Clarke sits down with Mark Overmann, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, to unpack the quiet crisis hitting seasonal businesses from the Jersey Shore to the Ozarks. The J1 Summer Work Travel program has been filling the gap in America's seasonal workforce for more than 50 years — but this summer, a State Department deprioritization order and a 6x slowdown in visa interview processing times have left up to 19,000 vetted, job-ready students stranded without an interview slot. Mark explains how a cultural exchange program became the backbone of seasonal staffing, why this is a policy and a capacity problem at the same time, what a bipartisan group of House members is doing about it, and what needs to change before summer 2027. Plus, Rob Taylor with the immigration news: Federal Court Kills Trump's $100K H-1B Fee, a new proposed rule raising the bar on EAD eligibility, and updated USCIS guidance on adjustment of status for dual-intent visa holders.

This week, Virginia based old-time string quartet The Earl White Stringband recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park's annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. Also, interviews with Earl White. Every October, the Ozark Folk Center State Park holds its annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. It's two days of lively stringband music & dance, handcrafted art, fine Southern cuisine, and old-fashioned fun. The festival includes live shows on Friday and Saturday featuring acclaimed bands from the Ozarks and beyond. “Fiddling Earl White has been a mainstay in the old-time, folk and dance community for more than 45 years.  An original and founding member of the famed Green Grass Cloggers, he is one of few Black Americans preserving and playing Appalachian old time string band music, which was an intricate part of Black communities and formed the foundation of American music of today.  Earl is well known for his extensive repertoire of tunes, and his heartfelt, compact, driving style.  He has played in numerous old time string bands, and he currently leads the Earl White String Band, featuring Victor Furtado (banjo), Jim Nelson (guitar), and Dido Norris (bass). White runs the Big Indian Farm Artisan Bakery with his wife in rural Virginia. He also teaches private lessons, hosts jams and (when we're lucky) comes down to Raleigh to play a PineCone Square Dance.” - https://pinecone.org/artists/earl-white/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1974 archival recording of legendary balladeer Aunt Ollie Gilbert, performing the traditional song “A Rock in the Weary Land,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles Ollie Gilbert's husband, folk singer Oscar Gilbert.

The Preserver's Garden: Featuring Staci and Jeremy Hill of Gooseberry Bridge FarmIn this Episode Staci and Jeremy share their journey from suburban living to operating an 11-acre farm in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. What began as a small raised-bed garden evolved into a lifestyle centered on food production, preservation, agritourism, and self-sufficiency. In this conversation, they discuss how preserving food became a cornerstone of their family's food security strategy, why they intentionally grow crops for canning and freeze-drying, and how planning a "preserver's garden" differs from traditional gardening. They also share lessons learned from preservation failures, the economics of home food production, and the inspiration behind their book, The Preserver's Garden.Our Guests: Stacy and Jeremy Hill are the owners of Gooseberry Bridge Farm, located in the Ozark Mountains of Southwest Missouri. They moved from the typical house at the end of a cul-de-sac in a subdivision to an 11-acre farm almost 10 years ago, and haven't looked back. In addition to producing and preserving as much of their own food by canning, freezing, dehydrating, and freeze-drying their garden harvests, they also operate a you-pick flower farm with different varieties of flowers throughout the year. Their goals are to share their farm with the community and to be as self-sufficient as possible within the boundaries of what is realistic in today's world.Key TopicsGooseberry Bridge FarmStaci and Jeremy HillThe Preserver's GardenFood preservation strategiesCanning and water bath processingFreeze-drying food for long-term storageGrowing for food securityBuilding a year-round pantryPreserving tomatoes, peaches, beans, and zucchiniFamily involvement in food productionAgritourism and farm experiencesTeaching lost homesteading skillsFoxfire books and traditional knowledgeReducing grocery costs through food productionKey Questions AnsweredHow did Staci and Jeremy transition from suburbia to farming?They began with a small raised-bed garden after getting married and gradually expanded their food production over two decades. After moving to an 11-acre property in Missouri, they increased their gardening, added livestock, and eventually turned the farm into their primary source of income through agritourism and value-added products.What inspired them to focus on food preservation?As their family grew, they became interested in preserving traditional skills they could pass on to future generations. Each year they learned a new preservation method, eventually mastering canning, dehydrating, freeze-drying, and food storage.What does a well-stocked pantry look like?A successful pantry is built around foods a family actually enjoys eating. Rather than preserving what is easiest, they recommend preserving crops you enjoy and grow well. Their pantry includes extensive stores of tomato sauce, salsa, green beans, soups, fruits, and freeze-dried foods.What crops provide the biggest return for food security?Their highest-performing crops include tomatoes, bush beans, zucchini, summer squash, and okra. They emphasize growing large quantities and "outplanting failure" rather than constantly battling pests.Why do they freeze-dry food?Freeze-drying dramatically increases shelf life, often up to 25 years, while preserving flavor and nutrition. It also expands the range of foods they can store compared to traditional canning.How do they handle large harvests of tomatoes?They harvest tomatoes at the blush stage, allow them to ripen indoors, process them in batches, and often freeze excess harvests for winter canning. This approach reduces summer workload and avoids heating the kitchen during hot weather.Why was The Preserver's Garden written?A publisher noticed a gap between gardening books and preservation books. The result was a book focused on planning a garden specifically for preservation goals rather than simply dealing with surplus produce after harvest.How has preserving food impacted their household finances?Despite having more children and growing teenagers, their grocery expenses have declined over the years while food quality has improved. Producing and preserving food has reduced their dependence on grocery stores.What preservation failures taught them valuable lessons?Experiments freeze-drying sweet hot sauce and banana puree resulted in spectacular messes due to sugar expansion during the freeze-drying process. These failures reinforced the importance of testing and learning through experience.What advice do they give beginners?Start small. Preserve one thing, grow one crop, and build confidence through small successes. Fear and misinformation often prevent people from getting started.Episode HighlightsStaci and Jeremy moved from a suburban cul-de-sac to an 11-acre farm in the Ozarks nearly a decade ago.Their farm now supports agritourism, a flower operation, livestock experiences, and food production.A surprise harvest of 300–400 pounds of peaches led to a week-long experiment with new preservation recipes.Their pantry functions as a personalized grocery store stocked with foods their family regularly eats.They grow approximately 100 tomato plants and harvest up to 30–40 pounds of tomatoes per day during peak season.Freeze-drying transformed their food preservation capacity and significantly expanded their pantry.Their children actively participate in gardening, food preservation, and homesteading skills.An Instagram post featuring their pantry went viral and helped inspire the creation of their book.Calls to Action & ResourcesBook: The Preserver's Garden — https://thepreserversgarden.comFarm Website: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://gooseberrybridge.comInstagram: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://www.instagram.com/gooseberrybridgefarmRecommended Reading: Foxfire Book SeriesVisit www.urbanfarm.org/PreserversGarden for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

Beauty is one of the most celebrated words in art and faith conversations, but it may also be one of the most misunderstood. Is beauty simply what pleases the eye, or is it something deeper? Can beauty exist alongside suffering, loss, and the grotesque? And what happens when we settle for beauty that comforts us while avoiding the realities that transform us?What if beauty requires darkness, mystery, and even lament in order to reveal its deepest meaning? In this roundtable discussion, Stephen Roach and guests Corey Frey, Liv Ross, and Scott Aasman wrestle with beauty not as sentimentality or surface appeal, but as a force capable of holding together truth, goodness, suffering, and hope.KEY TOPICSWhy beauty can feel inauthentic when it is removed from struggleThe original meaning of "glamour" as a veil designed to trap and deceive, and why that etymology still matters for artists todayHow the three transcendentals — goodness, truth, and beauty — function like a trinity: remove one and the others collapse into vanity, brutality, or cover-upWhat Edmund Burke and Kant meant by the sublime, and why terror and beauty belong together rather than apartThe real context behind Dostoevsky's phrase "beauty will save the world," drawn from The Idiot, and why stripping it from that argument changes everythingThomas Kinkade's stated goal of painting a world where the Fall never happened, and what his private life and Andy Warhol quote reveal about the cost of bypassing Holy SaturdayWhy form without substance is essentially pornographic, and how true beauty requires the material and the spiritual coming togetherHow artistic isolation stunts creative roots the way a tree grown in perfect conditions falls in the first storm and why community, friction, and disagreement strengthen both the artist and the workAbout the Guests:Corey Frey is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and co-founder of The Well Collaborative, a community dedicated to creativity, curiosity, and culture. He lives in Maryland with his wife and continues to explore the intersections of art, faith, and imagination.Liv Ross is an urban monk, poet, essayist, and Managing Editor of Traces Journal. Writing from the Ozarks, her work explores place, wonder, memory, and spiritual formation. Her first book, The Blackbird Ballad, was published by Solum Literary Press in 2026.Scott Aasman is an award-winning illustrator, educator, and co-founder of Salt Cellar Arts, an arts-focused community for the spiritually attentive and creatively engaged.

A witness spends five days alone in the Arkansas Ozarks…Then the footsteps begin.What starts as quiet movement outside a remote bushcraft shelter turns into constant surveillance from unseen beings moving through the trees around him day and night. The sounds get closer. Vocalizations begin. Stones land near camp. Then something responds directly to his thoughts.In this episode, Jackson shares a lifetime of encounters stretching from the swamps of Florida to the mountains of North Carolina and deep into the forests of Arkansas. He describes a face-to-face encounter with a towering Sasquatch beside a river near Boone, unexplained activity surrounding camp in the Ozarks, and Cherokee teachings about “the Sasquatch people” and Mind Speak communication.This is one of the most intense wilderness encounter interviews ever featured on Bigfoot Society.Originally released as Episode 515 on September 2, 2024.If you listen late at night, you may not look at the woods the same way again.

Send us Fan MailHow do you transition from dominating local recreation leagues to navigating a post-apocalyptic political thriller or avoiding the Ozark cartels? You ask Darin Toonder.This week on Entertain This!, we sit down with an incredibly versatile actor whose face you've undoubtedly seen on some of the biggest shows on television. We dive deep into his stacked resume, discussing what it's like to bounce from the comedic perfection of Parks and Rec and Modern Family to the gritty tension of Ozark, his role as Agent Melvin Rainey in Hulu's Paradise, and his latest turn in the wild new supernatural horror movie, Obsession.But acting is only half the story.Before he was sharing scenes with Hollywood's elite, Darin was building a legacy in a much more cutthroat arena: adult league softball. We also get a legendary tale on his rose-stealing abilities (yes, you read that right).Grab your sunflower seeds and a cold drink—it's time to talk shop, sports, and petty floral theft.Want to stay updated?

A chairlift bike park in the Ozarks sounds like a wild idea until you hear how Oz Trails Bike Park was actually built: carefully, deliberately, and for everyone. We're joined by Brandon Kelly, director of Bella Vista, and Gary Vernon, who runs the bike park day to day, to share the story behind the park's long path from rumor to ribbon cutting, with the grand opening set for June 12.We get practical about what a day looks like at the park, from rolling into the base area to loading your bike on the lift, cruising to the top, and choosing trails by skill level. Gary explains how they focused on families and first-timers without watering down the experience for serious riders, including a standout beginner trail called Firestarter that's designed to build confidence fast. We also talk about what makes this a true destination beyond riding: the Oz Trails HQ building, Ozzy's Ride and Dine restaurant, and a full setup for bike rentals, retail, and bike school, so you can arrive with almost nothing and still have a great day.Not a rider? You're still invited. We dig into lift rides for sightseeing, ADA accessibility, patio views of the action, and the way the park preserves the natural beauty of Bella Vista's old-growth forest, limestone bluffs, and deep ravines. We also touch on the Whistler connection through Gravity Logic, why the trails will keep evolving, and how Bella Vista vacation rentals plus Bentonville's downtown make trip planning easy across both towns.If you're curious about Northwest Arkansas mountain biking, family-friendly bike parks, or the next big outdoor attraction in Bella Vista, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more people can find the show! A New American Town is here to help you plan your trip to Bentonville, Arkansas.

The church needs to figure out what to do about Israel. Since the second century, a wedge has been driven between Christians and Jews. Sadly, Christians have often been guilty of pouring gasoline on this long–smoldering fire. It happened again after the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023.Our guest, Ran Silberman, is a messianic Jew and a professional tour guide in Israel. He can speak to the subject of Jew hatred in the church from a unique perspective—not only is he a Christian living in Israel, but he is also a Jew. He explains that the church has a long, shameful history of demonizing Jews, one that must be confronted in this hour. Ran will be in the United States during the month of June to speak to groups and churches about this topic. If you are in the Mid South, the Ozarks, Oklahoma, or North Texas, you can contact us by email at info@gilberthouse.org or by reaching out to Ran through at facebook.com/ran.silberman.

They call it Return to the Land — a “traditionalist” community built around shared values, shared land… and shared race. Will they be shut down? Or will the be allowed to have, essentially, a new Sundown town?  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
