About this listen
Welcome to the very first episode of Ozark Unplugged, a brand-new podcast from the Ozark Chamber of Commerce! This series dives into real conversations with the people who have shaped—and continue to shape—our community.
In this debut episode, host Chris Russell sits down with longtime Ozark resident and former Reserve Deputy Mike McCurdo for a fascinating look back at one of Christian County’s most legendary figures: Sheriff Buff Lamb. From chasing down outlaws to lighting up fields of marijuana on the square, Buff’s larger-than-life law enforcement tactics are the stuff of Ozark folklore.
Mike shares firsthand stories from his time serving under Sheriff Lamb, working major busts, managing campaigns, and witnessing both the tough and tender sides of a man who helped define an era in local law enforcement. Whether you're a longtime local or new to Christian County, this episode offers an entertaining and eye-opening dive into the history of our region.
Topics include:
Why Buff Lamb was called the “Donald Trump of Christian County”
Tales of outlaw encounters, campaign trail moments, and unconventional justice
The evolution of law enforcement in Christian County
Personal reflections on small-town values and community legacy
