  • Meet all the cool people you hear about from NWA

    NWA is an emerging culture it’s a regular experience to meet new people that have found this place thru interests and means beyond working for Walmart. I think the concept of this podcast is a great way to explore the people shaping that culture. I’m glad you are doing this and I’m looking forward to meeting more of the local culture thru your show.

  • A One Stop Shop for Community

    Community and connection is what makes a place a home and with so many new people moving in per day it can feel hard to feel connected in NWA. D1 and D2 have created the perfect listen for anyone in NWA who longs to feel apart of a broader community. Not sure who your people are and where they’re at? Listen to their guests and find out who/what you’re missing! ❤️
