Summer is here, which means a lot of things to a lot of people.
It might mean a long road trip with the family to the beach. It’s a good time to head to the gym for a workout to get in shape or to work in the yard gardening or mowing the lawn.
For all of the above-mentioned activities, and for plenty of others, listening to Podcasts help pass the time and keep our minds busy while we work on some of these more tedious tasks.
And for all the Sarah Koenigs and Marc Marons out there creating nationally-known podcasts, there are also plenty Arkansas-based podcasts, covering everything from Arkansas-based businesses, to local politics, to Razorback sports, and plenty of other topics.
We asked our Facebook fans to share some of the local podcasts that they were aware of recently, and we received dozens of suggestions. Here’s a list of some of the more active and well-known podcasts we found that are created in, or about (or both) the state of Arkansas.
As always, if you know about other local podcasts that folks need to be aware of, feel free to tell us about them in the comments below.

Let’s not forget Dr. Margaret Rutherford’s AMAZING podcast, “Self-work.” She is touching people with this podcast, globally, and should most definitely be recognized. Dr. Margaret is out of Fayetteville, AR. Check her out. Her sessions are short and concise and the Therapy you didn’t know you needed.
Let’s not forget Black Dude White Dude.
Leo Cummings (Black Dude) and Todd Cate (White Dude) explores a wide range of topics from the differing perspectives of two best friends. They dive into the poignant and mundane – from race relations and raising their children to debates about who can do the most one-arm pushups (It’s Todd). Whether it’s back-and-forth banter between the two of them or in-depth conversations featuring invited guests from the Central Arkansas area and beyond, Black Dude White Dude leaves listeners with food for thought and reasons to laugh out loud.
