Art museums are primarily known as spaces to view art, and the OSU Museum of Art in Stillwater certainly has thought-provoking works to capture the imagination of guests. However, the university museum also aims to provide a space for the community to engage with their own creativity. Marketing coordinator Casey Ihde joins this week's podcast to discuss the facility's unique programming and any-time ArtLab that help visitors discover their inner artist.

OU and Texas are leaving the Big 12 conference for the SEC, leaving OSU to hold down the fort in a conference that has newly added Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado. What will life be like for the Sooners in their new home? We're bringing on none other than the

There is no doubt that Oklahoma City's food profile nationally has risen in the past several years—in no small part due to the contributions of the James Beard Award Southwest winning chef Andrew Black. We recently caught up with Chef Black at his newly opened restaurant Perle Mesta, located inside Oklahoma City's historic Skirvin Hilton hotel, which is the same location the chef got his culinary start in Oklahoma at the former Park Avenue Grill.

Don't ask to see Aunt Meg's place when you venture out to Wakita in far-northern Oklahoma—if you remember Twister well enough, you know the house doesn't make it to the end credits. But die-hard fans of the 1996 cult-classic disaster film won't be disappointed when they visit the tiny town's Twister Movie Museum—dedicated to telling the story of Wakita's brush with Hollywood since before the movie even premiered.

The ding of the bat. The chants from the dugout. The thud of a fastball against the catcher's mitt. There is nothing like a ballgame at the Women's College World Series. It is no secret that the state of Oklahoma loves its softball, and the fact that USA Softball and their Hall of Fame Museum are based in Oklahoma City certainly has something to do with it. The sport is already widely popular, but does it still have some room to grow? USA Softball CEO Craig Cress is the perfect person to answer that

For however many people are on Earth today, it's a drop in the bucket compared to all the insect, spiders, and arthropods that also populate the world around us. There is no avoiding them, so we might as well learn to coexist. When we put our prejudices aside, the lives of these critters can be quite fascinating. There is no one better equipped to spread enthusiasm for bugs than Andrine Shufran, director of OSU Insect Adventure, the Stillwater home to a fascinating menagerie of beetles, centipedes,
