from the underview. · host Mike Rusch

the great river with Boyce Upholt.The Mississippi River is more than just a body of water—it’s a force that has shaped the land, the people, and the very mythology of America. In this episode of the underview, I sit down with Boyce Upholt, author of The Great River, to explore how this river became the backbone of American expansion, the driving factor in Manifest Destiny, and a symbol of American masculinity. We’ll dive into the histories of the rivers, the river’s role in the shaping of Arkansas, and the ways in which our attempts to control its power have defined—and sometimes undone—us. Join us as we navigate the currents of history, myth, and the great river that continues to shape our place.https://www.theunderview.com/episodes/the-underview-the-great-river-boyce-upholt-mississippiAbout the underview:The underview is an exploration of the development of our Communal Theology of Place viewed through the medium of bikes, land, and people to discover community wholeness.Send us a Voice Message at https://www.theunderview.com/Website: ⁠⁠theunderview.com⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠@underviewtheHost: @mikerusch
