Published September 21, 2026 at 2:10 PM CDT

On today's show, a judge is scheduled to hear arguments soon about whether to dismiss a lawsuit against the state of Arkansas for its near-total abortion ban, and we hear one of the plaintiffs share her story. We’re also rolling along with our series dedicated to Arkansas governors of the modern era. Plus, we learn about butterflies in downtown Springdale and hear Sound Perimeter guiding us into autumn.
