Thank you for sharing the voices and stories of our community! I love this podcast and appreciate what you do! Also I loved the Ted Talk and the episode about it! Thanks for sharing your experience and message of the talk was fantastic 🫶
I recently had the blessing of hanging out with Randy Wilburn and then began listening to his I Am Northwest Arkansas podcast. What a resource! It’s on my weekly listen now. If you want to really “get to know NWA”, this is your podcast.
I Am Northwest Arkansas podcast, hosted by Randy Wilburn, is an absolute gem! The engaging conversations and insightful interviews capture the essence of the region perfectly. Randy's charismatic hosting style adds a delightful touch, making each episode a must-listen. Five stars for an excellent blend of local stories and compelling narratives - a true celebration of Northwest Arkansas and what makes our community great!
Not for me. I love the ideal of this and somewhat similar NWAr. podcast. All seem to give the Democrats spin. This one isn't as bad as the rest. But Democrat views are hard to get away from in mainstream media. I want to hear the 85% they refuse to mention or demonize if they do. I'm giving it 2 stars because the host seems polite and is less political than the rest.
I’ve learned so much about Northwest Arkansas by listening to this podcast, which is saying a lot because I’ve lived here my entire life! I’m always learning about new nonprofits, upcoming events, and businesses in the area that are making an impact in NWA. Love this podcast and look forward to a new episode every week! Thank you for bringing awareness to this community and connect us to one another .
