Welcome to Small Town Girl with Gwen Faulkenberry

Come sit a spell—as my Granny used to say—and let's visit about all things Arkansas. 

Gwen Faulkenberry is a small town girl through and through. Born and raised in Ozark, AR, she’s been everything from school teacher to a state Representative candidate. Gwen is a mother, author, English professor, an award-winning columnist–and now, a podcast host.

On this podcast, Gwen sits down for thoughtful conversations that move fluidly from politics in Arkansas to big, deeply human questions about love, vulnerability, faith, identity, and what it means to stay connected in a digital world.

Vulnerable, true, and deeply small town.
