Joy heads out to Turners Station in Turners, Missouri, to sit down on the front porch with Kaitlynn McConnell, the founder of the local history and culture magazine Ozarks Alive! They dive into Kaitlynn's charming and delicious project, the Ozarks Pie Project Diary, where she collects vintage regional cookbooks and bakes her way through over 150 historic pie recipes while preserving the stories of the bakers behind them.

Tune in to hear all about quirky "desperation pies," the community tradition of pie suppers, how Kaitlynn transitioned from corporate and healthcare communications to full-time regional storytelling, and her upcoming community celebration, the Rock Picking Awards! 🥧📖✨
