Why listen
The Real NWA JB is a weekday Northwest Arkansas sports talk show built around Razorbacks fandom, SEC baseball and basketball, football updates, and immediate postgame reaction. Josh Bertaccini brings decades of local broadcasting experience, mixing analysis, coach/player sound, listener energy, and Arkansas-specific context that national sports shows usually miss. It is best for Razorbacks fans who want a daily local pulse check more than polished national debate.
