In Spring 2021, Pearse Nelson, a student enrolled in the class that produces the Stuff OSU Should Know podcast interviewed the teacher of the class, Dr. Seth Wood, about the history and potential future of his unusual course idea.

Is there a parking problem on campus at Oklahoma State? Okay, yeah. But what's the problem? Whose problem is that? and what can we do about it?These questions lead the team at Stuff OSU Should Know on a research mission to find out more about the apparent imbalance between parking permits sold and parking spots available at OSU. When we finally found the numbers, at the close of the Fall semester (2021), we sat down with OSU Parking Director Steve Spradling to get a better understanding why and how campus parking is a problem and what OSU is doing about it. We hope this will be the first in a series of podcasts about this topic that looks at the issue from a variety of perspectives.
