In the first episode of season two we discuss the origins of Arkansas’ first nickname. The Bear State. Sampling from a humorist book written in the 1850 we examine the origins of the nick name and where the Bear State stands on bears today. Also discuss where the podcast listeners are located, about half of which outside Arkansas. A good portion of which are in Germany. The podcast is wrapped up with a call for folks to hit up the socials with ideas for future podcasts.
