💗 This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Ava Biggs and Stephanie Garner to share the story of the April Nicole Foundation.

🌸 April Biggs’ battle with breast cancer reshaped her life—and her vision for others. She believed life was more than a 9-5 job; it was about joy, memories, and love. Today, her legacy continues as the Foundation supports women in NEA who are raising kids while fighting breast cancer.

🎙 Stephanie, diagnosed at just 39, shares her own powerful journey and the hope she’s found in the fight. Together, she and Ava remind us that while grief is unavoidable, it can make us better, not bitter—and that community makes all the difference.

🎙️ New Episode Coming Soon! 🎳

This week on the Paragould Podcast we sat down with Chris Moyer, owner of Let’s Roll Paragould!

Chris grew up in the Poconos of Pennsylvania and has been around bowling almost his whole life—starting in a league at age 5, earning a college scholarship through the sport, and rolling his first 300 game at just 17. He came to Paragould in 2011 as the GM of our local bowling alley, helping transform it from an “unsupervised daycare” vibe into a respected community spot.

Following a devastating fire in 2016 at Paragould Bowl, Chris went on to become the owner of the Pro Shop at Hijinx—Chris’s story is full of resilience, vision, and the belief that “a lot of things in life are more mindset than logistics.”

Oh, and before we hit record, we got to check out his sweet Cybertruck 👀⚡️ (pics with Jared and Chris included!)

🎧 Don’t miss this episode as we roll into the story behind Paragould’s favorite bowling hangout.

You’re going to love this one. 🎧 This week we sat down with retired Ag teacher John Clark—Jared’s former horticulture & aquaculture teacher 🌱🐟—to talk about what actually lasts in the classroom and beyond.

Clarke shares why relationships of trust outlive positions, the difference between equal and fair, and why every student should develop a skill people will pay for. We also discuss the shift from “vocational ed” to college-prep and his favorite line about mastery: practice until you can’t get it wrong. 🛠️

And you’ll hear one of the wildest unsolved mysteries you’ve ever heard from 30 years ago—plus tender wisdom on grief, healing, and keeping communication open with the people you love. ❤️

🎙️ Paragould Podcast Preview 🎙️

Few people in Paragould can say they are the best in the world at something—Sebastian Barger is one of those few.

A Paragould High School graduate, Sebastian discovered his passion for co****le during the COVID shutdowns. With extra time on his hands, he dedicated 3–4 hours a day to practicing. Within just a year, he turned pro. Fast forward to 2025, and Sebastian’s persistence, skill, and drive paid off when he was crowned the American Co****le Organization World Singles Champion—officially making him the best co****le player in the world.

In this episode, we’ll hear Sebastian’s journey from backyard boards in Paragould to the biggest stage in the sport, what it takes to rise to the top, and how this small-town story turned into a world-class achievement.

🎧 Don’t miss it—this is one you’ll want to hear!
