Radio CALS airs on KABF 88.3 FM in Little Rock from noon-2 p.m. every Friday. It may be streamed live at www.kabf.org (click "Listen Live") or anytime at www.soundcloud.com/radiocals.

Today's broadcast of Radio CALS (2/26/16) features:

  • Information about and music by Johnny Cash, whose birthday is today, February 26
  • Bizarre Arkansas, presenting information about a creek known as "The Town Branch" which once ran through downtown Little Rock, carrying trash and refuse until it was converted into a proper sewer
  • Chewing the Fat with Rex and Paul, who talk about apples, peaches, salt pork, buttermilk pie, sausage sandwiches, fried baloney, Ernest Hemingway and the Hemingway-Pfeiffer House museum in Piggott, and Paul’s ability to carve a chicken in 15 seconds, a skill that helped win him the love of his wife, along with fried squirrel, squirrel brains, and where to get great chicken livers; places mentioned include the Shiloh Museum in Springdale, the communities of Opposition, Annieville, Nashville, Bald Knob, Clarksville, Brinkley, Batesville, Mena, and—of course—Paul’s hometown of Imboden
  • An interview with Brad Mooy, coordinator of the Arkansas Literary Festival
  • An interview with Carol-Ann Blow, who attended Catholic schools in Little Rock during desegregation and was the first African-American student to attend Mount St. Mary Academy 
  • Selections from an Arkansas Sounds concert by the Velvet Kente Arkestra, a collective of musicians with an eclectic sound whose influences include Afro-Caribbean, gospel, indie rock, punk, soul, and funk music
