Listeners of This is Oklahoma that love the show mention: oklahoma, business owners, businesses, places, state, mike, around, stories, love, fun, great, listening.
The This is Oklahoma podcast is a hidden gem that showcases the stories of Oklahomans and their businesses. As a fan of the state, I stumbled upon this podcast and was instantly captivated by the personal narratives shared on each episode. This podcast proves that you don't need to be from Oklahoma or have visited it to enjoy these inspiring stories of people following their passions.
One of the best aspects of The This is Oklahoma podcast is the abundance of inspiration it provides. Each episode features individuals who are deeply passionate about what they do, whether it's owning a local business or making a difference in their communities. It's refreshing to hear these personal accounts and serves as a reminder that anything is possible when you have dedication and drive. The host, Mike, does an excellent job interviewing these business owners, allowing listeners to get to know them on a more personal level.
Another great aspect is the diverse range of guests featured on the show. Mike interviews tons of local business owners from the OKC metro area, offering an opportunity for listeners to learn about various industries and disciplines within Oklahoma. Whether you're interested in food and beverage, arts and culture, or even sports, there's something for everyone on this podcast. It's a fantastic way to discover new businesses and gain insight into different aspects of Oklahoma's culture.
Unfortunately, like any podcast, there are bound to be some downsides. One possible downside is that the focus primarily lies on individuals from Oklahoma. While this may appeal to listeners who are familiar with the state or have ties to it, those outside of Oklahoma might find it less relatable or engaging. Additionally, since the podcast focuses solely on local businesses and individuals, there may be limited variety in terms of content compared to podcasts with broader subject matter.
In conclusion, The This is Oklahoma podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiring stories from passionate individuals in the state. It offers insight into Oklahoma's history, culture, and the people who contribute to making it great. While it may not have the same universal appeal as more broad-themed podcasts, it is a fantastic resource for those interested in Oklahoma or looking to learn about the state's vibrant business community. I hope this podcast continues for years to come, sharing even more remarkable stories from the heartland of America.

On this episode I chatted with Chip Keating. Chip is a former Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper, Secretary of Public Safety, and independent businessman. He is running for Governor to take on the threats facing Oklahoma families, crack down on crime, grow Oklahoma's economy, and work with President Trump to make Oklahoma a leader in the America First agenda. As a State Trooper, Chip spent years protecting Oklahomans from drugs and violent crime. Later, as Oklahoma's Secretary of Public Safety, he strengthened law enforcement, improved training, and kept order in times of crisis. In the private sector, Chip spent two decades in the oil and gas industry, fighting job-killing regulations and helping grow opportunity across the state. Beyond business, he has led in service to his community — chairing the Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Area Command, serving on the boards of OU Health and the University Hospitals Authority Trust, and as president of the Children's Hospital Foundation. He is also the founder and president of the Oklahoma State Troopers Foundation. Chip and his wife, Brittney, have been married for 20 years and are raising their three children in Oklahoma. A third-generation Oklahoman and the son of former Governor Frank Keating and First lady Cathy Keating, Chip is proud of his family's legacy of service — and he is ready to continue that tradition by fighting for a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Oklahoma. Fun Fact, Chip is the first guest where I have interviewed both his parents.

On this episode I chatted with the legend Jim Gardner. With more than 14,000 flight hours across legendary helicopters like the Bell 206, 407, 505, and the Airbus A-Star, Jim Gardner has spent 40 years mastering the skies. From live police pursuits to storm tracking and Hollywood film sets, Jim built a career on precision flying, calm under pressure, and an unwavering commitment to truth and safety. He began his aviation journey in Los Angeles in 1985, ultimately becoming the chief pilot for KCAL Channel 9. There, he flew through the heart of breaking news history—covering the O.J. Simpson chase and trial, the L.A. riots, devastating earthquakes, and fast-moving wildfires that tested every skill in the cockpit. In 1996, Jim returned home to Oklahoma, where his legacy took flight once again. He joined KFOR Channel 4 as pilot and airborne reporter, later moving to KWTV Channel 9, where he remained until retiring in 2025. His aerial coverage became an iconic part of Oklahoma broadcasting, earning the trust of viewers and the respect of professionals across the nation. www.pilotjimgardner.com Huge thank you to our sponsors.
