This spring, the Old State House Museum opened a new exhibit entitled Arkansas/Arkansaw: A State and Its Reputation. The exhibit sheds new light on the evolution of Arkansas's backwoods, hillbilly image. Curated by and based on a book by Brooks Blevins of Missouri State University, Arkansas/Arkansaw will remain open to the public (for FREE!) until March 2012.
As part of the museum's efforts to promote the new exhibit, I interviewed Dr. Blevins over the phone to produce a video podcast. (If you haven't watched the podcast, I highly encourage it!) We spoke for about an hour, but only 20 minutes of the audio made the cut to the podcast. As a bonus, below is a 3-minute snippet from the interview in which Dr. Blevins discusses the irony behind the exhibit and some of the more nuanced aspects of Arkansas/Arkansaw.
