Ozarks At Large

Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Roby Brock talks to gubernatorial candidate Bill Halter. Plus, Gordon Family Tree, a movie filmed in the region premieres in Northwest Arkansas, and more.

Ahead on Ozarks, the calls for Arkansas’ State Treasurer to resign are mounting. Yesterday, Martha Shoffner was arraigned on several charges levied by the FBI. Plus an assessment of the damage after last night's strong storms moved through the area. We also have a quick guide to the must-see bands coming to Wakarus later this month and our tech ambassador, Ty Dennison, lets us know whether its time to get excited about Google Glass just yet.

Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: we dig into archives from the Pryor Center for Oral and Visual History once again with the center’s director, Randy Dixon. He brings us the sounds of sports in Arkansas for the past 45 years, including the voices of Brooks Robinson, Paul Eels and even Richard Nixon. Plus The eulogy for a piece of northwest infrastructure that marks a change in how we drive. And opera takes center stage on this week’s edition of Arkansongs.

Here are the ten clips for our montage dedicated to streets, roads and avenues: 1. Nat King Cole gets us started with Route 66. 2. Gloria Swanson as the doomed Nora Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. 3. U2 sings Where the Streets Have No Name. 4. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gecko in Wall Steet. 5. Bruce Springsteen sings 10th Avenue Freeze Out. 6. Michael Conrad offers his end-of-meeting statement on Hill Street Blues. 7. The opening theme, of course, from Sesame Street. 8. Part of the trailer from the original Nightmare on Elm Street. 9. Jack Kerouac reads from the last page of On the Road. 10. Willie is On the Road Again. Apologies to Bob Dylan’s Highway 61, the cast of Mulholland Drive, any number of other songwriters and Kraftwerk’s Autobahn (but then again, the German group was included in last week’s montage). Maybe next time.
