Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Tuesday, December 10, 2013
On this edition of Ozarks, what happens when snow and ice force a college to re-schedule finals…including putting finals after commencement? We'll talk to Ray Wallace with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith about how an ice storm can create problems with an academic calendar. And coffee isn't just for breakfast anymore…it's also for a canvas. We'll talk to some people making art out of coffee. And a conversation with Devon Powers. She's written about communication, social media and the commentary economy. She spoke on the University of Arkansas campus recently.
Becca Martin Brown of NWA Newspapers tells us about a talk about the West Memphis Three with Mara Leveritt this week in Fort Smith, as well as everything else that's up this week in the area.
