Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.Tressa recently received an email from author KD Schnee that read, in part: Hi,I wanted to share a local Pittsburgh family story...My mother, Barbara Bedner of Springdale, invented a timid rabbit named Yabbit the Rabbit decades ago to help me face fear and hesitation as a child. She always hoped it would become a children's book, but never felt confident enough to write it.When she passed from Alzheimer's in 2024, I decided to finish the story for her, even though by the time I began writing, she could no longer remember the character she created.That promise became my debut picture book, The Rabbit in the Moon.If this story might resonate with your audience, I'd love to share more...Well, dear yinzers, we're sure you know what happened next: Tressa happily invited KD to be a guest - and that's the conversation you'll be hearing today. KD Schnee's The Rabbit in the Moon picture book helps children face fears and feel brave, one small hop at a time. It helps kids build courage, confidence, and emotional growth. In this heartfelt conversation, you're going to hear a warm, candid, and emotional journey of a son navigating his way to honor and pay tribute to his mom and the lessons she taught him. How she inspired him to always try - to take tiny, brave hops. And now, he is paying those lessons forward to children all over the world.

In this week's Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we talk with Ariel Husband, co-owner of the Gelatissimo gelato shop in downtown Rogers, but before we talk with her!!! FOOD NEWS!!! Benny's Bagels is about a month away from opening in Fayetteville. Hear how they're different! Sweetgreen officially opens in Fayetteville. Wright's Barbecue opened last week on the Walmart Campus. Clementine's Ice Cream opens later this week on the Walmart Campus BLU in downtown Rogers is expanding! Happy anniversary to Shirley's! ChoKolata is coming to Springdale! In this week's Flavors Flashback, we hear from the owners of the soon-to-be new Northern Italian Restaurant in downtown Rogers, Cura. They used to have Cura Culinary in Bentonville Provisions, and they talk about their Northern Italian food from our interview in the summer of 2024. Ariel and Daniel Husband have known each other since they were 16 years old. They started dating in high school and delivered newspapers together from a hollowed-out school bus around downtown Dallas on the weekends. Their first date was to Braum's, so you had to know they'd get into frozen desserts at some point! After marriage and kids, they'd always look for local ice cream-type shops in their travels. About 6 years ago, they went to a wedding out of town and noticed that a frozen treat shop they went to was absolutely packed. They wondered why there wasn't anything like that in Northwest Arkansas... When they did decide to open a shop, how did they decide on Gelatissimo? Being all natural and made in-house surely didn't hurt. Ariel will tell you the story. Also, hear about their grand opening- it was non-stop! We talk with Ariel Husband of Gelatissimo next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

The oldest of seven, Ben was raised by faithful Christian parents who not only took their family to church, but who practiced regular family worship. Yet as he came into his teen years, Ben made football his idol. Gratefully, his loved ones and mentors pushed back. Ben's father challenged his sports obsession. And other men in his life relentlessly set Jesus before him till, one day, Ben was converted as he fixed his eyes on Christ's finished work. Ben married his wife Jessa at age 19. Now a father of six, he currently serves as pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Springdale, Arkansas.

Merry Christmas and welcome to this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, as we're in Bentonville talking to Kevin Girkins, owner of the super-popular Archie's Sandwichery, but first?!?!

Smith food truck and open their brick and mortar in Springdale! Potbelly Sandwich Works opens in Springdale, and owner Tiffany Montgomery talks about building two restaurants at once! PJ's Coffee has started construction in Rogers. Few tickets remain for Sunday night's restaurant takeover by Super-chef Marcus Samuelsson. We'll tell you what he's making! This week's Flavor's Flashback is one of my favorite Mike Engleman Home Pro Tip's of the Week of all time and it comes from Darwin Beyer at Meiji in Fayetteville. Kevin Girkins got in the restaurant business initially because his dad caught him red-handed doing something illegal. Seriously. It's a funny story. He's from Austin and moved to Northwest Arkansas to help build and run a popular franchise in Bentonville. It took a fortuitous turn at his next stop which gave him the confidence to start his own spot, which is what he eventually did with Archie's. Why a sandwich shop in Bentonville? Kevin will tell you why. Also, where did the name Archie's come from? There's a portrait on the wall at Archie's that'll explain it. We talk with Archie's owner/operator Kevin Girkins next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.

About the Show:"We are wired for storytelling. It's why we love movies and books and YouTube and all these kinds of things, because we all love stories, and we connect to them in some way." – Angie AlbrightIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Angie Albright, director of the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale.Angie's path from an Iowa farm to leading one of Northwest Arkansas's oldest museums tells its own story about what draws people to this region. Under her leadership, the Shiloh Museum has become more than a repository of artifacts—it's a living community space where the past meets the present, and where everyone's story matters.The museum brings Ozark history to life through school field trips, heritage preservation projects, and welcoming spaces like "The Front Porch" that invite people in. Angie talks about how they decide what stories to tell, why collecting diverse voices is essential, and how they're evolving to serve Northwest Arkansas's changing population.Whether you've lived here for generations or just arrived, the Shiloh Museum offers a way to understand the threads that connect us all—and why this place feels like home to so many.Key Takeaways:The Shiloh Museum is a living, evolving community space, not just a place for “old things.”Connecting with history helps both kids and adults see how the region—and their own families—fits into the bigger story of the Ozarks.The museum covers six Arkansas counties and partners with schools to open history's doors to over 20,000 students each year.They are working to include the stories of all communities, including Spanish-speaking, Marshallese, and African American residents, through events and collecting oral histories, photos, and artifacts.Preservation and innovation go hand-in-hand—from saving old log cabins to making exhibits accessible in many languages.Most museums only display a fraction of their collection; digitization gives the public more access to stories and artifacts than ever before.You are welcome at the Shiloh Museum—there's always something new to learn, and it's always free to visit!The upcoming U.S. 250th anniversary (in 2026) will be a time for the whole community to reflect on our shared journey and future.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Shiloh Museum of Ozark History – Website: shilohmuseum.orgVisit in person! 118 W.

A great neighborhood spot doesn't become an institution by accident. Chef-owner Miles James joins us for a spirited session, pizza in hand, bourbon on the bar, to share how MJ Pizzeria grew from a tight, open-kitchen concept into a regional favorite poised to double in size without closing a single day. We swap stories from his James at the Mill era, dig into why transparent kitchens build trust, and break down the craft behind that beloved Caesar, the true artichoke dip, and a new spicy chicken pizza with caramelized onions that's begging for a bourbon pairing.Miles opens his playbook on scaling the right way: a dedicated pasta room and sauce room, redundant hot lines for rush-hour consistency, a glass-perfect bar build that turns bottles into storytelling, and a basement wine program designed to hold thousands of bottles. He also gets granular about dough timing, oven tech, and why a modern electric deck may solve the Friday-night heat sink that wood fire alone can't. Through it all, the north star remains clear: keep pizza as the core, elevate the edges, and let hospitality shine through an open kitchen and a present, long-tenured team.We also talk community and location strategy, why MJ's exit-off-the-interstate convenience, ample parking, and Springdale's rapid growth matter, and how private dining, holiday parties, bourbon dinners, and an events coordinator will extend the brand's warmth without crowding the dining room. If you love food culture, restaurant design, or just crave a blistered pie with a thoughtful pour, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a fellow pizza-and-bourbon fan, and leave a quick review to help more curious listeners find the show.

U.S. imperialism has produced migration, sometimes to places you wouldn't expect. According to Emily Mitchell-Eaton, the Marshall Islands and Arkansas are both central to the workings of empire. The perceptions of longtime residents of demographically transformed cities like Springdale, Arkansas reflect geographical imaginaries that occlude the fact of U.S. empire. Emily Mitchell-Eaton, New Destinations of Empire: Mobilities, Racial Geographies, and Citizenship in the Transpacific United States University of Georgia Press, 2024 The post Imperial Migration appeared first on KPFA.
