The man, myth, and legend who started one of the most iconic events of the Ozarks is on the mic this week, Mr. Joe Wilson. It's about that time of the year when outdoorsmen and women start getting itchy about the fall, and one of the markers that we're getting closer is, without a doubt, the World Champion Squirrel Cook Off! We talked about the genesis of the event, how it's grown over the years, and its cultural significance to the area of Northwest Arkansas and the greater region of the Ozarks. Enjoy! We also got to sit down with Joe on his podcast 'Cookin' Up a Story' Check it out here.
