What is Diet Austin?
Diet Austin is a newsletter about our slice of the world run by RFO Quarterly. We especially aim to untangle what’s going on here in Diet Austin (Northwest Arkansas) with cultural and political commentary.
About us
RFO Quarterly is a group text bit machine turned online publication edited by four Arkansans in four different places at any given time. We are also registered enemies with anyone who doesn’t love the Natural State, but we know that’s not you. :*
