โจ We are honored. Truly. โจ
This weekend at Arkast 2025, People of Northwest Arkansas Podcast was awarded Best Culture Podcast, and we are still taking it in.
Culture is built by people... their stories, their courage, their dreams, their history, their humor, their struggles, and their joy. And thatโs why we started this show โ it's about the people!
Every episode, we sit down with someone who makes NWA the vibrant, creative, ever-evolving place we love. From artists to educators, founders to doctors, community leaders to everyday neighbors with extraordinary stories... you are the heartbeat of this region.
To be recognized in a category centered around culture feels especially meaningful, because it reflects what we hope and believe the podcast is doing: lifting up voices, connecting our community through stories, and honoring the people who shape this place.
Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared an episode, encouraged us, or sat across from us and trusted us with your story.
Thank you to our friends and family who continue to cheer us on, day after day, episode after episode.
Thank you to the Arkansas podcast community for the support, inspiration, and kindness you pour into the podcast world.
Thank you to our producer Brock, who really helps us shine! We would not be here without you.
Congratulations to our fellow podcasters who walked away with awards for all their good and hard work this year! We are proud to stand alongside you and cheer you on.
Thank you to Northwest Arkansas โ for giving us endless stories worth telling.
Weโre grateful, inspired, and excited for everything ahead. Cheers to 2025 and finding our strideโฆ and especially to all of you who make this region such a special place to call home. ๐ซถ๐ป
Love,
