True crime with a twist Make it Arkansas.

Okayyyyy Arkansas, the natural state, the state where nothing happens until something happens then everyone is left shocked because of what happened, this is a podcast that documents just that. Well, there is an extensive history of murders that a rarely documented that should be talked about more and that’s what I’m here for. I plan to cover stories, and cases that have been overlooked by mainstream media over the years, in Arkansas. I’m in a way giving a voice to the voiceless men and women of Arkansas.
