    Episode 109: Dr. Joanna Dee Das discusses her book: Branson: Faith, Family, and Flag
    Feb 18 2026
    Dr. Joanna Dee Das is associate professor of dance at Washington University, and she seems to have talked with everyone who's anyone in Branson. The result is her new book, Branson: Faith, Family, and Flag. Enlightening, entertaining, and sometimes controversial, Joanna's book surveys Branson's music history from the early days of Shad Heller and the Toby Show to the virtuosity of contemporary groups like the Haygoods. Joanna credits Branson for preserving the musical variety show and for experimenting with immersive theater years before it became popular to do so.

    Episode 107: Tom Kersen, author of Where the Misfits Fit, talks Ozarks oddities, quiddities, and quirks!
    Feb 4 2026
    Dr. Tom Kersen, associate professor of sociology at Jackson State University, came to the Ozarks in the '70s as the teenage son of Back-to-the-Landers. His experience was often grinding and sometimes grueling, but he became fascinated by the characters and quirks of folks coming to the Ozarks. Out of that fascination came his new book, Where the Misfits Fit; part sociological study and part memoir, Tom tells a story as wild as the people in it. Join the Chronicles for a memorable ride through the oddities, quiddities, and quirks of the Ozarks.
