Episode 125: Tales from the Tambo: Arkansas Conquers the Amazon

Hello everyone, it’s great to be back!  This episode was recorded in February on our second trip, at the Santa Cruz field station. Nine of our fourteen clients were from Arkansas, and since I couldn’t talk to all nine at once, they appointed some representatives, and I found myself talking with Gabrielle Hargrove, Thomas Belford, and Brad Birchfield. We had an excellent conversation and I do want to give a shout-out to the whole Arkansas crew – Cyndi Porter, Caden Porter, Jeremy Sloan, Brad Birchfield, Reagan Birchfield, Gabby and AJ Hargrove, Thomas Belford and Anthony Belford. So much fun hanging out with this crew and of course, the other folks on the trip as well. PATRONS: As always, I am grateful to all the show’s patrons who help to keep the show moving forward.
