  • Episode 66: Stories from the James River: A Conversation with George Scott and Tom Koob
    Apr 23 2025
    Ozarkers love a good story, and George Scott and Tom Koob have some great ones! From Leonard "Shock" Short, moonshiner, bank robber, and husband of George's Aunt Lillian, to Vance Randolph, who fell in love with Lillian after Shock's death, to the myth of Virgin Bluff, and all the way back to the Civil War with George's great-grandfather, George and Tom remind us that the old stories will always live on, and for that we can be thankful! Hills without stories might be pretty, but it's the stories that give them life.
