2013 vs 2014 Reunion

The older The Cabin article was published in 2013 and suggests the Reunion aired during that same year. Later articles suggest 2014. I've kept 2013 given the Cabin's original publication date.

Why Remove the Episode Information?

The recipes were the reasons people watched the show. Having them listed showcased the odd, game-focused diversity the show was known for. This diversity was the reason the show was launched, and what Speer lent to it.

The episode list information source had been cited at the beginning of the list--unfortunately, Arkansas PBS website removed that information from their website. Removing the show list removes information from the public.

Other series list episode information, as well; it is not uncommon.

- Bluejeanshuffle

As after a few years there's been no response or objection, I've reverted the list, clarified its title, and found an additional source. Episode content is common information to include in series' pages, and a major point of CotWS were its recipes.

Arkansas Outdoors

Cooking on the Wild Side is technically a close spinoff from Arkansas Outdoors (due to interest in the cooking part of the series, see references), but Cooking on the Wild Side is more well-known than its predecessor.

I wouldn't mind writing this from the perspective of AO, but I can't find as much on its content to make it stand out, or series summaries, and so on.

Show Hosts

The two hosts are apparently something of state celebrities, both known for their work in taking agricultural and outdoors education to the media available at the time (radio and television). They each have positions in a "Hall of Fame" due to their educational work (Speer's is from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and Philpot's is from Arkansas Agriculture).

It's possible they might earn their own pages if enough information can be found. Right now, I've put in a bare descriptor of each host, to briefly hilight their background education and work relative to what was an educational series. I'm unsure whether John's education (undergrad in agriculture, master's in media education) would be relevant, though it may be.
