Oklahoma Today Podcast: October 28, 2024

On the outside we all look different, but on the inside all of us are propped up by a frame of collagen, calcium, and minerals forming the human skeleton. And it's not just us with the bones—most of the animals we see around us have them too. These graveyard greeters might have a grim reputation that often make them a symbol of Halloween, but Ashley Mason Burns-Meerschaert—director of operations and education at Oklahoma City's Museum of Osteology—joins the show today to explain why they might not be so scary after all, and give us a scoop on how to get involved with their Forensic Nights.

Also on this week's episode, the editors discuss some of their favorite Halloween costumes from the past, and podvents merges the worlds of fellow Wills, Rogers and Smith. You won't want to miss it!
