    Episode 7: The Time Arkansas Almost Blew Up

    Our friend Barrett tells us all about near and actual catastrophes all over the state, including an especially big event on the 'road to Damascus'. Would Sarah be the lone survivor of a nuclear fallout? Would she be our present-day Walter Mondale? Ponder with us.

    Episode 6: Evenly-Spaced Arkansas Colleges

    Episode 5: Old Mike

    We are bringing you a weird story with a very special guest - top tier friend, Jessica! Listen as Maddie takes us on a [definitely not boring] journey in Nevada County, AR (did you pronounce that correctly?) We're talking dead bodies, pockets full of thread and pencils, Sarah's genius hat, and many celebrity documentary recommendations. Please write in to tell us your own funeral home stories!

    Episode 4: Sass and Saw

    Kansas has too much sass for these Arkansas girls. Our very special guest, Mandee, shares lots of laughs, facts about AR, and opinions about why everyone should want to live here, specifically not Kansas. Let's make Kansaw happen! Next, if you have ever wanted to hear a quote from "famous" people who lived in AR, does Maddie have a quiz for you! Not to brag, but we might be a sports podcast now.

    Episode 3: Who in the Hoo Hoo & Gurdon's Light

    Hoo knew that there was so much history and mystery in Gurdon Arkansas? If you are looking for a LIGHT to show you the way, or to be enLIGHTened by the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, give this episode a listen. Questions we still have: What even is swamp gas? How can you say “railroad worker” without messing up? What are the Job’s Daughters?

    Episode 2: Birds, Brinkley, Boys, and a girl named John

    We have a treat for you with our first ever guest - esteemed YA author John Corey Whaley! Hear two AR legends: one of a big bird and the other of a petit John, from two of your favorite elder Millennials. There is talk of log cocks and Sufjan Stevens. Also Sarah somehow makes us unlearn landline phones. P.S. How great are National Park gift shops?!
