Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Steve Yates collects inspiration for his short stories almost everywhere. From his time working on highways in Arkansas to a true crime story in Springfield, Missouri his new volume of stories, Some Kinds of Love runs the gamut from straight-ahead narrative to fantasy-laced science fiction. We'll talk to the former Fayetteville resident about his latest collection. Plus concern for some small banks in Arkansas and if you've ever been to the Waffle House on Dickson Street you're familiar with the restaurant's logo of a waffle chased by a hungry pig. We'll meet the artist behind that picture. More of her work is included in an exhibit in Springdale this month.
