Author, journalist, and historian Jason Harmon wrote When Money Grew On Trees in collaboration with David McElyea, a Michigan transplant to the Ozarks in 1980 whose goal was to create a marijuana farm. After he was busted by local enforcement, Dave formed a relationship with the local sheriff, and together they colluded in a venture that would make them thousands of dollars. And that's back when a thousand dollars meant something. Curtis and Hayden made the jaunt to Buffalo City, Arkansas, to talk with Jason, and we hope you'll join us for an episode that's profane and preposterous, and even impressive in a demented, outlaw kind of way!
