About This Podcast
What happens when a stereotypical hillbilly becomes friends with a stereotypical city slicker? Well, we decided to make a podcast. Join us as we discuss country life and city life in a way never before attempted. Our former city dweller host, with an MBA and penchant for big ideas joins forces with our other host, someone who has spent his entire life living in rural Kentucky. We take on many topics looking from our unique perspectives and experiences.
