Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. After more than 100 episodes over the past four years it's time to go About Town. On this episode Tim and About Town host Blayklee Freed talk about the future of this podcast channel and all the exciting things to come in the biweekly episodes of About Town that will run 10-15 minutes an episode. We also reflect on the five years of Tulsa Talks and discuss some of the highlights. All the podcast episodes will remain here and at TulsaPeople.com/Podcast. We might be back later with more special episodes of Tulsa Talks. In the meantime, Tim will continue making appearances on random episodes of About Town. So stay subscribed, buckle up and get ready to go About Town. 

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes.Business is getting back to normal around Tulsa after the devastating effects of the June 17 storm that left me, some coworkers and thousands of other Tulsans without power for nearly a week. It was hot, but we made it… unlike way too many trees. So this episode is dropping a week late and it's a different format than usual.I've been doing a lot of online content this year. Lots of concert photo galleries and some reviews, plus Q&A and photo galleries with local creatives. Plus our team publishes updated music listings, a weekly rundown of things to do, a beer of the week and more. We're staying busy.We have so many talented artists in this town, and I want to spend time with as many of them as possible. I love learning their stories and having the opportunity to share a part of it with our readers. Plus often there are lessons we can learn and use in our own endeavors.As I continue to evolve in my work, I've been spending a lot more time working on my photography. It's been a lifelong hobby, and a part of my jobs for over a decade. Most of it is photojournalism, which means capturing moments. I've been pushing myself to do more portraits, which pushes me out of my comfort zone. I'm getting better at it, and excited to keep chasing it as I move toward video, finally.The film industry is exploding in Tulsa, and it's inspiring to see so many creatives growing their styles here in Tulsa. Many are homegrown, but some are coming here to learn and make movies.I recently went for a walk and talk with filmmaker Brea Mullen, a Tulsa transplant who didn't go to film school and is grinding it out and learning as she goes and loving every second of it.Her documentary Oklahoma Underground will premiere locally as part of the upcoming Circle Cinema Film Festival. Read the Q&A with Brea.Back in late May, I went for a Turkey Mountain hike with Branjae.We covered a whole lot in this Q&AShe discussed how she took a break from music to take care of her mental health, and now she's back and ready to roll out new music and more.What didn't make the cut in print is her thoughts on the local music and creative scene in 2023.While she did take a break from most her musical duties, she did perform at the legendary Apollo Theater in NYC. I had to ask her about that experience.And now since things got twisted, turned and thrown across Tulsa, I'm going to leave you with Connie Cronley reading her June column. This would normally appear on our About Town episodes, but even our podcast schedule felt the effects of the derecho. Also congrats to Connie for her recent awards from the Great Plains Journalism Awards as well as the Oklahoma Press Association. She's one of the best writers in the state and more than worthy of these awards.Take us on your road trip, Connie.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes and the digital editor here at TulsaPeople Magazine. Before we get into the new episode, I wanted to let you know that on TulsaPeople.com we have original content almost every day of the week. There are the Oklahoma Best Sellers lists on Sundays, Tulsa music listings every Monday afternoon (that's where you can find out what bands are playing where on what day all in one place), Wednesdays are for this podcast and About Town mini episodes. On Thursdays arts editor Blayklee Freed shares her 10 things to do in Tulsa for the week. Then also the third week we have Fab Finds. Oh, and we cover a lot of events, so there are tons of photo galleries like this week's MLK Day Parade. You can find all this content on our social media channels and at TulsaPeople.com/AboutTown.  Speaking of stories you can read on our site, in our January issue we have an article about the different ways and places you can workout in town. Megan Harlan, my guest on this episode, operates Pure Barre South Tulsa at 89th and Yale, and Row House at 61st and Yale.  I was ready to learn more about Pure Barre when she and I talked in late December. I had seen a story a while back about the creator of Barre and knew its roots were in ballet, but I had a lot of questions. Among them, what's the difference between Barre and Pure Barre? Also do men participate in the classes? Megan breaks it all down. She was the first person to open a Pure Barre in the state nearly a decade ago, so she has a lot of knowledge and experience.  We also discuss the ins and outs of Row House South Tulsa, and by the end of the conversation I was ready to drive over and get on a row machine. I didn't. I ate a Bill and Ruth's sandwich instead (support our local restaurants), but I am going to make it down there.  Following my conversation with Megan, musical quadruple threat Casii Stephan is back with another single. More on that later.  OK, Let's get this going.  This is Tulsa Talks with Megan Harlan.  Casii Stephan is one of my favorite local artists. There are her lyrics, her vocals, the piano playing, her energy. If you haven't already, after you listen to this song, go look up any of her live performances or music videos on YouTube.  In fact, the video for “These Hard Days” was an Oniros Awards Finalist. Also, Casii was named a 2022 artist to watch by NPR Music.  I interviewed her last March at the time of the release of her single “Here Comes the Light,” and she mentioned she was working on the song you're about to hear: And with that here is Casii Stephan's “These Hard Days.”

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. Late next year OKPop Museum is slated to open across the street from Cain's Ballroom. Once the doors open museum visitors will walk past an authentic Bob Wills tour bus as they begin learning about our state's rich and diverse history in pop culture and how it connects to today's famous Oklahomans.Blake Ewing is my guest on this episode. He serves as the museum's creative director. He provides a construction update on the new museum and shares when it's slated to open. Blake also talks about some exhibit concepts and how it all fits into an overall goal to connect our past to the present while inspiring future creatives. OKPOP will open on the heels of the television and movie industries embracing Oklahoma as the backdrop for stories to be told, with many of them being written about Oklahoma and/or by Oklahomans. Speaking of some pop culture, if you slept on the first season of Reservation Dogs, it's time to fire up Hulu and enjoy a great show co-created by Sterlin Harjo. It's the first show to be shot entirely in northeast Oklahoma, features the first all-indigenous writers' room in Hollywood and it's got a killer soundtrack featuring numerous Okie musicians. ICYMI, Sterlin was also on the podcast last fall.Blake talks about the greatness that is Rez Dogs and the growing film industry and how both those things mean great things for the museum and our state. Blake is featured in this month's issue in our covers revisited piece from our 2009 downtown issue, when he, Elliot Nelson and Marybeth Babcock graced the cover as leaders of downtown revitalization before the BOK Center and ONEOK Field were built. At the time, Blake owned Joe Momma's Pizza and some other food and bar operations. He was also a city councilor representing downtown, so he's been involved in downtown's growth in various ways over the last two decades. He reflects on those old days of downtown and how it's continuing to grow and evolve, including his buddy Elliot's upcoming Santa Fe Square, which you can read about in our October issue. I love pop culture and downtown, so I had a lot of fun chatting with Blake. Following my conversation with him, hear a song from Thabos. More on that later.Just a reminder that if you haven't already subscribed to this channel, you should. We share two in-depth conversations a month, plus multiple mini episodes of About Town that go behind the scenes of the magazine and more.

There was also an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as sideman for the T Bone Burnett produced Secret Sisters.  When he's not playing live music, he's been helping others learn how to play guitar for 25 years through as an instructor at Guitar House of Tulsa. We featured a great article on the business earlier this year that is linked in the show notes. We discuss his musical origins, his long career in music and what has kept him in Tulsa all this time. We talk about the current state of the music scene and what he's got in the works and lots more. Following our conversation, you can hear his song, “Sneaker.” He is a really cool dude and a heck of a musician.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber.

In her new role, she uses her bilingual expertise to share information with the Spanish-speaking media and constituents. Gitzel is a first generation American, who moved to Tulsa in 2015 to work for the NBC affiliate, in what she planned on being a step up the TV news journalism ladder. As you'll hear, she fell in love with the city and its people and decided to stay. She talks about going from reporting the news to helping create it and what she's learned along the way, but we spend a lot of time talking about her passions outside of her job. Gitzel is active on numerous boards, including Tulsa Global Alliance and Circle Cinema, so of course we talk movies. She's also an active participant in Tulsa's French Club and talks about her love of other languages and why she's now learning Italian. If you follow her on Instagram, you'll see the food posts, so of course we talked about some of our favorite meals in Tulsa. This was a fun conversation. As you'll hear we recorded this on a Friday morning after a long week, so we might have struggled to come up with some names and such, but it led to more laughs along the way. Following my conversation with Gitzel, I'll share new music from Winston Churchbus. More on that later. Also, big podcast news! We're launching a new podcast series on this channel next week. Catch new mini episodes called About Town starting August 11th.

At the end of World War II Chief Naval Operations, Admiral Chester Nimitz ordered the formation of a flight demonstration team to keep the public interested in naval aviation. In a short three months, the naval flight exhibit team performed at its first flight demonstration on June 15, 1946 at their home base, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida. Lieutenant Commander Roy "Butch" Boris led the team and flew the Grumman F6- F5 Hellcat. The new Navy flight exhibition team was only the second formal flying demonstration team to have been created in the world since the Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The team was introduced as the Blue Angels at a show in Omaha, Nebraska in July of 1946. Right wing pilot Lieutenant Maurice "Wick" Wickendoll came across the name in the New Yorker Magazine and a column called Goings on About Town. Voris said, "That sounds great! The Blue Angels -Navy, Blue and Flying!". That first year the team also employed in North American aviation SNJ-5 Texan, later known as T-6, which was painted and configured to simulate a Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero and flown to simulate arial combat. It was painted yellow and affectionately named "Beetle Bomb". The team continue to use the "Beetle Bomb" in their performances, but later traded it in for a Grumman. F8F1- Bear cat, the same aircraft, the team transition to on August 25, 1946. A big loss came to the Blue Angels when on September 29, 1946, slot pilot, Lieutenant JG "Ross" Robinson failed to recover from a dive while perform the Cuban 8, maneuver at NAS Jacksonville and was killed. Robinson died only four shows before the end of the season and became the first of 26 Blue Angel pilot fatalities in the team's 70 year history. In 1947, flight leader commander Robert "Bob" Clark introduce the now famous Blue Angels diamond formation. With the new formation the team introduced to new maneuvers, the diamond loop and the diamond barrel roll - two maneuvers that are still performed today. The following year, in the fall of 1948, the team moved to NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. In 1949, flight Lt. Commander Rollie "Dusty" Rose designed the first official Blue Angels insignia or crest. It is nearly identical to the current design - only the aircraft silhouettes in the cloud have changed with each aircraft the team has flown. It was today December 6, 1960 that the Navy announced that the Blue Angels the world famous precision flying team would return to NAS Key West in January for their six weeks winter training schedule. For several years thereafter, from 1958 to 1962, the Blue Angels could be found every winter holding their trainings at NAS Key West. And that's what happened today in Key West history.

I haven’t seen Kyp Harness in years. He was practically a regular on my CIUT show, About Town (which was affectionately dubbed by my friends as About Thom). Back then Kyp was a musician, and he still is but now he’s also an author. He has penned a book on Charlie Chaplin and another on Laurel and Hardy. I didn’t even know he liked the movies. He also recently published a novel called Wigford Rememberies. Kyp brings his knowledge of film classic and otherwise to the TMAY. And then, just like old times, he brings out his guitar and plays us a song — and for me — it’s as if all those years that come between CIUT and now have faded away. Forgive me if I get a bit nostalgic on this one.

Kelli's at Rise Biscuits Donuts in Short Pump to grab coffee with Candice Smith of NBC12. Originally from Roanoke, Candice came to Richmond to attend VCU, started interning at NBC12 as an editor and worked her way to where she is now, waking up at 3am to bring viewers the morning traffic and covering events around town through 12 About Town. She loves fitness, getting outside for paddleboarding or running the Libby Hill steps but loves herself pizza and donuts too.

An album can be identified as a collection of singles surrounded by filler or ideally, a united suite with a statement or purpose. About Town, the third full-length release from Nicholas Nicholas occupies the latter role. The repetitive moniker is the solo project of Brooklyn-based singer/ songwriter Chris Masullo. Bristling amongst the dark-night-of-the-soul vocals and forlorn music of the brilliant About Town belie words that celebrate love and its accompanying emotions. Shades of a red herring? Perhaps, but it forces the listener to not place total faith in their first impressions. It's not necessary to feel tricked or deceived because complex music doesn't ever reveal all that it knows within a first sitting. Or even multiple ones. If considered as a short story collection, About Town is a less a series of songs than an assemblage of lives circling and thriving on the themes of ardor. It appears we've stumbled into Nicholas Nicholas Country.
