Pretty Boy and the Repo Man

But there's also the story about a collector, a clerk really, from a loan office in Fort Smith who was able to best the man who was soon to be Public Enemy No. 1 - without even knowing it. withinpodcast.com SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST!

The Tree On The Trail And Other Observations
Within The Realm
I'm feeling philosophical about my walks with my assistant producer, Boomer, on the trail near our home. By applying a lesson I learned from the pages of the nerdy books I read when I was a kid, I have special outlook on not just the walks on the trail, but many of the things that happen around me.

Forever England
Within The Realm
Most know the United States entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Just a few months before that fateful December morning, folks in Miami, Ok were already hearing the engines of foreign pilots over head. Miami was home to Churchill Field, a training school for British pilots. Over 2,100 would-be pilots came to this corner of the Sooner State for training, a handful never left. withinpodcast.com The British Plot in the GAR Cemetery at Miami, Oklahoma.

Lincoln in Bleeding Kansas
Within The Realm
Before he was on the Five Dollar Bill, before his words were memorized by schoolchildren through the decades and before he was hailed as the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln was a candidate for President...and it wasn't looking so good. He undertook a trip to Kansas to see for himself the violence and legacy of popular sovereignty, and maybe score a few extra delegates to the upcoming Republican convention. A rare look at candidate Lincoln and his trip to the west. withinpodcast.com SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST! Check out all we have to offer at ! Want to advertise, sponsor or otherwise...

A Friend To All
Within The Realm
I took it as a challenge to find the history of a character from my mother's hometown in western Oklahoma. She had little to go on, but we found the story - not only the story about this figure from her childhood, one Percy Hook, but also that of the nature of the town itself. withinpodcast.com Special Thanks to Oleg Fedak for the use of "Breath" in this episode.

The First Rule of Newtonian Physics and Wrestling
Within The Realm
One of the best physicists I ever knew my my first wrestling coach T. A. Shell. Never athletic enough to apply his lessons on the wrestling mat, I have applied them in other parts of my life with some success. T.A. Shell was my coach, yes, but a member of a family that my family has maintained a generations-long friendship. But it was as coach he had an opportunity to teach me lessons that have taken me far from the wrestling mat. He did it with a little help from a couple of, I suppose, old wrestling coaches, Archimedes and Ike Newton. withinpodcast.com Check out all we have to...

A Reflection On Scrooginess
Within The Realm
A Christmas Open House at my new friend Opal’s place got me to thinking…it got me to thinking about my feelings and attitude toward Christmas, described by some as Grinch-y or Scrooge-y. There’s a reason for my jaundiced eye cast on this winter holiday, but not because I dislike the good tidings it creates. It’s the real lesson of Chuck Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” one we ought to look at again! Past Yuletide Episodes: Remember to share the show with someone you know today!

Eight's The Place: Tulsa TV, Promotion and Community
Within The Realm
Back when I was a kid, there was Channel 8, Tulsa's KTUL. Channel 8 embraced the concept of local content for working stiffs, housewives, kids, lovers of moster movies...you get the idea.The news anchors and characters on these local shows were out in the small towns in their viewing area, in parades,at county fairs, whereever a crowd might gather. It built a strong between the station and its viewers. It was about as interactive as broadcast television could be The executives in the corner offices have decided to shutter the once lively studios and offices of KTUL, to operate the...
