Oklahoma Today Podcast: August 5, 2024

When it comes to states with wild historic stories, Oklahoma can go toe-to-toe with any. From Indigenous dwelling pre-contact to land runs and oil booms, this state has produced a lot of big moments and unforgettable characters. Thankfully, we have the Oklahoma History Center Museum in Oklahoma City to document all those twists and turns. As summer break ends and schools return to session, the History Center plays a big role in stimulating young minds. Museum Deputy Director Sarah Dumas joins this week's podcast to discuss all the exciting exhibits and programming going on in August and the coming months.

Also on this week's show, the editors discuss which past or present Oklahoman they'd most want to have dinner with, and Karlie spins a convincing yarn in podvents. You won't want to miss it!
