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.
The references used in the montage are as follows: The Andrews Sisters singing the classic "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree. Matt Damon taunts a rival in Good Will Hunting. "Pink Cadillac" by Bruce Springsteen. Snow white gets bad advice in the classic Disney telling of the tale. Roger Miller's version of "Little Green Apples." Sean Penn in Into the Wild. Peter Brady prepares his Humphrey Bogart impression in an episode of The Brady Bunch. Charlie Parker Performs the jazz standard "Scrapple From the Apple." Those mean trees scare Dorothy and the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. (free apples, though)
