DESCRIPTIONS

ARKAST

ARKAST is the yearly festival the Arkansas Podcast Collaborative puts on for the people who make and listen to podcasts in Arkansas. It began in 2022 as a one-day meetup, added the ARKAST Awards in 2024, and in 2026 is a dinner at the E.O. Manees House in North Little Rock on Friday, October 16.

Arkansas Podcast Collaborative

The Arkansas Podcast Collaborative is the first nonprofit organization for podcasters in the United States. It was founded in spring 2023 out of the ARKAST festival. The Collab runs monthly meetups in Central and Northwest Arkansas, classes and mentorship, the Podshelf directory of member shows, and ARKAST.
