Earth to Fayetteville, this year's ARKAST Podcast Festival is going to be stellar. We're bringing the podcast team behind NASA to talk about their craft, a live recording for People of Northwest Arkansas, brain dates, an exclusive documentary screening, and so much more. Students, be sure to get your parents' permission to meet Jake from NASA, learn a lot about podcasting, and load up on astronaut snacks. That evening we will honor the public voted ARKAST Awards winners as they walk the stage and give their acceptance speech. November 22 at Mount Sequoyah Center.
