Southern country thinker

I grew up on a small farm in the Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas. My mom homeschooled me, and from the time I was four we read the Bible together every morning. My family grew our own food, did things the natural way, and thought for ourselves. That’s still how I see the world.

I was the kid with his nose in a history book, talking my parents into one more Civil War battlefield. In high school I fell in love with podcasts, and in July 2025 I started The Zack Riordan Podcast to share my own research and talk with people worth hearing from.

I’ve been called a crazy conspiracy theorist for questioning mainstream narratives. I’ll take it. I only believe what I am convinced of, and I’m willing to do the work to find out for myself what is true.

These days I help my dad run our family construction business. My wife, Chessy and I are moving back to the mountains to build a homestead, and I’ll be sharing that here too.
