Podcasts about Oklahoma City

On this episode I chatted with developer Gary Brooks about his 7 year project The First National Center in OKC. G History comes to life yet again in Oklahoma City on April 12, 2022 with the grand debut of the region's restored crown jewel, The National Autograph Collection, at the First National Center. The building originally opened in 1931 as an iconic bank and landmark monument, and stands proudly at 32-stories high to this day. Following an extensive restoration and one of the biggest renovations in the state's history, the former bank office tower has been transformed into a hotel with 146 guest rooms alongside opulent new apartment homes, restaurants, bars, and retail offerings.   Widely considered one of the region's top architectural treasures, the First National Center is on the Historic Register and was once the largest building in Oklahoma. Oil drilling, the banking industry, and the history of Oklahoma City's tremendous growth and its arduous challenges are all woven into the fabric of The First National Center, reflecting the 'Modern Frontier' The First National Center is set to become Oklahoma City's epicenter and ‘living room', reimagining the 1.1 million square foot property into an Autography Collection Property, The First Residences at First National, Stock & Bond Steakhouse, Tellers Restaurant, The Great Hall bar, The Library of Distilled Spirits (in the bank vault), the National Ballroom, a barbershop, and a blowout bar – all under one roof. The restoration efforts include repairs to murals, decorative painted ceilings, stone columns, cast stone, metal finishes, vault doors, and safes. The Great Banking Hall has been fully restored and will be utilized as a public lobby. The basement and ground floor will encompass a mixture of high-end retail, multiple restaurants & bars, and commercial spaces.  The Intersection of Old & New: Intentional Design Redesigned and brought back to life by NE Development & Partners, ADG,  This episode is presented by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, telling Oklahoma's story through its people since 1927.

The Lakers have a Russell Westbrook Problem, and Betonline.ag has the newest odds out for where he might end up should he end up moved. (Kyrie Irving, too, and the Lakers are high on that list.) It's filled with the usual suspects: Indiana, New York, Oklahoma City, Houston... but one team that's not there? Miami. And, prompted by a comment from a listener, maybe it's time to think about the Heat as a potential trade partner? How about Westbrook for Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson? Why that could work for Miami, and why it might even be a bigger risk for L.A.... Oh, and what about the idea of Kyrie on the Lakers? The odds put it at 7/1 if he leaves Brooklyn. Under what circumstances would Irving-to-LA look good? Finally, Austin Reaves got some love in the All-Rookie voting, one of the only positive stories to come from this dumpster fire of a season. What his success says about the strategy the Lakers need to adopt this summer. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The oddsmakers have spoken. Where might Kyrie and Russ land? Would Kyrie in LA be a good thing? SEGMENT 2: Looking at potential destinations for Westbrook. Floating a hypothetical that takes him to Miami. SEGMENT 3: Why Miami might do a Westbrook-for-Lowry/Robinson swap... and why the Lakers might not bite even if it looks on the surface like a good way out. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Rylan Stiles (@Rylan_Stiles on Twitter) is joined by Richard Stayman (@MavsDraft on Twitter) to dive into the Oklahoma City Thunder landing the second overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft at the NBA Draft Lottery. Who should the OKC Thunder select? Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga is a Sam Presti type of player, Paolo Banchero from Duke has star upside, and Jabari Smith Jr out of Auburn will produce a ton of NBA wins. Who should the Thunder look at with their 12th and 30th selections? What second-round NBA Draft picks make sense at 34? Should Presti and the OKC organization trade Oklahoma City defensive star Lu Dort and the 12th pick in the NBA Draft to move up? Who hurts their stock at the NBA Draft Combine?

As more and more working-class Americans join the Republican party some voices on the Right are advocating the GOP become the worker's party—a role that has traditionally been held by various movements and parties of the Left.  Is there any merit to this idea?  What is the history of labor relations and the Right and Left in the United States?  How have labor unions and right to work laws evolved over the past century?  Do national candidates like JD Vance or Ron DeSantis have what it takes to capitalize on the surge of working-class voters on the Right?  Joining Josh is his friend of nearly a decade Christopher Chesny to discuss all this and more.   About Christopher Chesny Christopher Chesny is a conservative activist who has been involved in Republican and conservative politics for almost two decades.  After his political awakening at a young age after the 2000 Election and 9/11, he began to engage in the public policy process in a myriad of ways before graduating high school, and that engagement has continued through college up to the present day.  This has included academic public policy research, journalism covering state governmental bodies including legislatures and executive and judicial branch agencies, being elected to various party offices and as an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention, lobbying legislators for conservative causes both in an activist and professional capacity, managing social media accounts for conservative groups, and most significantly volunteering and sometimes professionally managing and consulting political campaigns in multiple states across the country.   Currently living in Virginia outside of Washington, D.C., Christopher was born in Oklahoma City and grew up outside Tulsa, and received his B.A. with a Major in Political Science and Minors in History and Economics from Arizona State University, and later his Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma.  Besides specializing in American political history and psephology (the study of elections) since the Second World War, he is a fan of history and geography from most every era in most every part of the world, especially the history of different religious faiths.  Besides keeping up with current events, he is also an armchair cinephile and an avid fan of both classical music and rock 'n roll, especially alternative rock and its offshoots from the 1980s through to the present day.   You can find Chris on Twitter at @ChrisChesny89

A recent visit to Oklahoma City cemented in my mind, that the big choices I've made in my life were good ones.

But he feels its effects all around him. He and his older brother Danny are fatherless, and their mother, Bethie, is still grieving for her fighter-pilot husband.

On February 22, Governor Kevin Stitt announced plans for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to embark on a $5 billion, 15-year project to expand Oklahoma's turnpike network. The effort to expand the turnpike loop around Oklahoma City south and west, through the Moore and Norman areas is raising concerns about water quality, the preservation of wildlife, property rights and even the rare rose rock. But for some, it's personal.  In Part 1 of this 2-part piece, you'll hear the story of Lisa Meyer, a Norman resident whose home sits by the path of the proposed South Extension route. The home was built by her husband Paul to accommodate their late son Clinton, who lived with disabilities until his death in 2008. Lisa is also active in the newly formed turnpike opposition group, Pike Off OTA.

Today I'm joined by Bill (@BTH_Bill) and Boltzmann Booty (@BoltzmannBooty) to discuss the Oklahoma City Bombing generally and Andreas Strassmeir specifically. They walk us through the basics of the bombing and some reasons to doubt the official 'lone wolf' narrative. We discussed the 1988 Sedition Trial, the nature of informants and provocateurs, and got into the life of Strassmeir. They made a convincing case that Strassmeir was an informant based on his prior counterintelligence work, behavior, and actions. They explained Vincent Petruskie, Strassmeir's extracurricular activities, his visa, PATCON, Dave Holloway, the infamous traffic stop, and Elohim City. Bill and Boltzmann Booty walked us through the body of evidence linking Strassmeir to Timothy McVeigh and the bombing plot, Strassmeir's escape, and his subsequent activities. Finally, we attempted to come to an understanding of what happened at Oklahoma City.

In this episode, our host, Richard Jacobs walks us through his recent visit to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City, OK. With the many marvels he witnessed, Richard took numerous photographs and integrated 31 of them into a book – accompanied by 7 observations of what he saw.  The Museum of Osteology focuses on the function and form of the skeletal system. It does so by displaying hundreds of skeletal remains from all over the world. The exhibits included in the museum are aimed at revealing the wonders of the vertebrate kingdom and celebrating the beauty of the natural world. Listen to this podcast to hear Richard discuss: The origins of the Museum of Osteology and the background its founder. What is held inside the walls of the museum. The 7 observations he had during his visit.  The many interesting things that bones can do. It's important to remain interested in everything we do and to ask questions to continue to grow.

EPISODE 34 OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE DEPT BRIAN “PICK” PICKLO “ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SURVIVE” The Assist the Officer Foundation welcomes on one of Oklahoma City PD's finest in Brian “Pick” Picklo. Brian's story in becoming a lawman took a much different path as he also is a 2 time All American wrestler for the Michigan State Spartans and was the Big Ten Champion in the 190 pound weight class in 1996.  In a testament to his rugged refusal to fail attitude Brian accomplished this a walk on at Michigan State……taking a true Spartan path.   In 2008 he made the United States Olympic trial finals in the USA Judo team and he considered this a “hobby”. Since joining the Oklahoma City Police Department he has been a SWAT sniper, Narcotics Detective, Firearm training instructor, and now currently is a Motor Jock.  Brian is a devoted husband and father to three incredible kids who are all Division 1 athletes as both of his sons wrestle for Oklahoma University and his daughter plays soccer for the Oklahoma City Cowboys in Stillwater. Our guest is resilient and determined and his Michigan State quest, alone, will motivate and inspire you. He models and inspires optimism as he has been infectious with instilling toughness and desire in the 1000's of young wrestlers he has coached and mentored. The definition of a Spartan:   1:A native or inhabitant of ancient Sparta.  2:A person of great courage and self discipline.

Iconic Seattle radio host Dave Grosby joined the show for milestone episode #350. Groz came on the John Clayton Tribute episode (Ep. 343) but rejoins the show to discuss his outstanding career. Grosby, along with former radio partner Mike Gastineau, will be honored in late May 2022 with the Keith Jackson Media Excellence Awards at the Seattle Sports Commissions upcoming ceremony. Groz moved to Seattle in 1991 and had long stints with both Sportsradio KJR and 710 ESPN (KIRO). On KJR, he hosted with Gastineau the show “Groz w/Gas” which was a hysterical, fun, sports show that aired daily on KJR. In this episode, Groz discusses his various stops in media before arriving in Seattle. He discusses the Seahawks recent trade of Russell Wilson, the impact of the Seattle Sounders MLS team, and the saga of the Seattle SuperSonics departing for Oklahoma City. Groz notably does not want another NBA team in the Emerald City. He also describes his various health issues.

In This EpisodeYou'll hear JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk about Watches and Wonders Geneva, the AGS Conclave, and Russian diamonds.Show Notes00:30 Victoria recaps her experience as a guest of Breitling ahead of Watches and Wonders.11:00 Victoria fills us in on her experience at Watches and Wonders.17:09 Rob was at the AGS Conclave and tells us how that went.21:49 Victoria and Rob express excitement for JCK Las Vegas; Rob talks about Russian diamonds.Episode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: jckonline.com, @jckmagazineShow RecapBreitling MarketingVictoria went to Watches and Wonders Geneva, where she was a guest of Breitling. Known for its aviation watches, the company invited journalists and watch experts to Zurich ahead of Watches and Wonders to celebrate the 70th anniversary of its Navitimer, introduced in 1952. George Kern, CEO of Breitling, came down to give a speech and boarded the same plane as Victoria, and everyone flew to Geneva. On the plane, all of the new watches were passed around.Watches and WondersVictoria says Watches and Wonders was a good show with a lot of excitement and optimism. She also noticed a lot of travel-themed watches. Rob asks if there was a lot of talk about smartwatches, and Victoria says no. She believes that smartwatches may have ignited a larger interest in watches in general even when they're not present themselves. She also mentions a new mechanical watch she picked up at the show, and one brand, TAG Heuer, that's using lab-grown diamonds in its watches.AGS ConclaveRob was just at the AGS Conclave in Oklahoma City. Victoria asks if lab-grown was a big theme there, and Rob says it was a theme, but not a major one. A lot of the discussion around lab-grown diamonds was about making sure you're not accidentally buying a lab-grown when you believe you're buying natural. A big topic at AGS was Russian diamonds and the reputational issues around buying and selling them. Rob says the mood at AGS was a good, and this event was one of its most highly attended Conclaves. There were sessions on sustainability and the verbiage around sustainability as well as origin and tracing.Russian DiamondsVictoria mentions anticipation for JCK Las Vegas. Rob and Victoria are both looking forward to the event and want to meet with people in person rather than virtually. To end the podcast, Victoria asks Rob about Russian diamonds. The U.S. sanctions have been a big hit to Alrosa, which is one- third owned by the Russian government. There aren't many newly mined diamonds on the market. A lot of people are paying attention to traceability and sourcing.

In this episode we are going to do a race recap of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. This marathon is special as there is so much meaning and history to it. In April of 1995, two men destroyed the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City filling 168 people, 10 of which were children. This marathon exists to keep the memories of those victims alive and remind us that we can overcome hard things when we come together. One highlight of this marathon included an expo with a panel of legends (Bill Rodgers, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Dick Beardsley, and others) who were there to answer questions of the running community. In this episode we also got to interview race director Kari Watkins.

These guys won't be stopped by something so minor as a flash flood! Last week, Diametric Brewing, in Lee's Summit, Mo, hosted Oklahoma City's Vanessa House and Kansas City's Vine Street Brewing for a collab brew day. And because it's what they do, Nigel and Nick crashed the party and whipped out their mics for some fun conversation about beer, brewery origin stories and more. Beers consumed from BKS Artisan Ales, Alma Mader, Vanessa House and Diametric.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but why do we need a special month to talk about this important issue? Being a first responder is not an easy job. Putting your life on the line, day after day for those you serve. We entrust these brave men and women to run into the gates of hell and we don't really get to see The Human Side and how certain things can affect them. They are exposed to things that most of us average folks will never have to experience in our lifetime. Co-Host - Retired Major of the Oklahoma City Fire Department and Oklahoma City Bombing Responder, Chris Fields Oklahoma City suffered the Deadliest Domestic Terrorist Attack in American History, killing 168 men, women and children and injuring close to 800. Chris Fields was there front and center, serving his community as a firefighter. He was captured in a photo that became an iconic symbol of the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995, when he was cradling the body of 1 year old Baylee Almon. He served the citizens of Oklahoma City for over 31 years and has now dedicated his life to speak to other 1st responders, discussing the brutal realities of a life spent responding to citizens in their darkest hours. He also shares his personal story of how that day in 1995, along with other traumas, took a toll on his life and his family. Having suffered in silence for many years, he now shares how he found his way out of the darkness, in the hopes of helping others to avoid the failure and pitfalls, along with encouraging them to reach out when they need help. www.chrisfields.org

This podcast features a presentation by Wesley Fryer at the ATLIS (Association of Technology Leaders of Independent Schools) 2022 Conference in Orlando, Florida, on May 3, 2022. The title of the session was, "Teaching About Conspiracy Theories and Media Literacy." The official description was: Conspiracy theories are popular on social media and influence our local as well as national conversations and politics. How we can constructively teach about conspiracy theories and help students develop their media literacy skills to better evaluate information and sources in our digital world? This session will highlight the "Froot Loop Conspiracy Theories" media literacy unit, taught to 6th graders since fall 2020 at Casady School in Oklahoma City. By focusing on the Apollo Moon landings, students learn how to use and apply the "SIFT" web literacy framework (S = Stop, I = Investigate the source, F = Find trusted coverage, T = Trace to the original) analyzing together several online videos. While this unit is designed for middle school students, it an be adapted for other grades / ages / developmental levels.

We went to Oklahoma City for Spring Break - and had a really good time. We hiked around Lake Hefner and saw a lovely lighthouse. I learned about the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, went to a skeleton museum and fed a tigress at a wildlife sanctuary. Wow! It was fantastic! The Oklahoma City bombing memorial museum is a very educational and beautiful tribute to a terrible event in the city's history. I describe the different elements of the museum and what they mean. It's very moving. The skeleton museum was very different from other museums my parents have taken me to and I learned a lot. And feeding the different animals including the tigress was just awesome. I highly recommend visiting OKC if you get a chance. Lots of great places to eat, visit and learn.

Real Estate News - Construction Companies at Risk of Dangerous CyberattacksThere's growing concern about the possibility of a dangerous cyberattack on automated systems used by construction companies. These programs are used for things like the measuring and mixing of materials used to support large construction projects. Some companies are taking steps now to protect themselves from hackers but cybersecurity experts say the threat level is rising, and the safeguards are lagging behind other industries. (1)Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.White House Warning about CyberattacksJust a few weeks ago, the White House issued a warning about a possible Russian cyberattack linked to the Ukraine invasion. U.S. intelligence officials got together with more than a hundred infrastructure companies and industry groups to share classified information related to this threat. (2)Cyber security researchers from Mandiant say that so-called “threat actors” have developed a set of tools called “Incontroller.” They say these tools are “exceptionally rare and dangerous” because they can be used to shut down or sabotage industrial facilities. That includes turning off safety controllers at power plants, for example. Mandiant researchers can't pinpoint the source of this threat but they suggest that the activity is similar to what they say is Russia's “historic interest in industrial control systems.” A Dallas-based contractor that contracts with top-level government agencies promises to “make the world smarter, more connected and more sustainable” but is also increasing its emphasis on cybersecurity. Jacobs has clients like the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Intelligence Community, NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy along with defense agencies for other countries and private sector companies involved with aerospace, automotive, energy, and telecommunications. Jacobs CEO Bob Pragada says: “There is not an infrastructure project right now with major agencies, in the U.S., the U.K., across the world, in Australia, where we don't have a cyber component that's with it.” And he says that's becoming a much bigger part of the business.Contractor's VulnerabilityLet's scale that risk down to the level of the contractor doing the work, in this case the pouring of concrete. Construction Dive explains that a concrete contractor uses automatic control systems to mix and lay the concrete. After the concrete hardens, automatic systems are also used to inspect the integrity of the finished product. These systems rely on internet- and cloud-based software which could make them vulnerable to an attack.One technology and cybersecurity consultant offered an example of a worst-case scenario. Jason Vigh told Construction Dive: “Take for instance the construction of a bridge, you have to have strength integrity. What if hackers change the systems that are actually being used to automate the project and (the bridge) collapses… all because the supply chain is compromised in the first place.” He says there's already a lot of security in place for the financial sector, but when it comes to manufacturing, cybersecurity is lagging.Precautions Needed for Construction CompaniesSo far, most cyberattacks in the construction industry have involved ransomware or access to customer data. A northern California concrete contractor, Ghilotti Bros reported a breach in December of last year. It says an unauthorized party gained temporary access to its systems and files. An energy company out of Oklahoma City also reported a data breach a few months ago, according to Construction Dive. Recently, a German company reported a cyberattack that impacted 40% of its wind turbines. Cybersecurity experts say that more precautions are being put into place, but it does require pro-active investment by companies and industries. Autodesk vice president of product development, Sameer Merchant says the money companies need to spend now to protect themselves will be “a much smaller price to pay than the price you pay if they are exposed to these attacks.”If you'd like to read more on this topic, you'll find links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.comAlso, please remember to hit the subscribe button, and leave a review!You can also join our real estate investor network for free at newsforinvestors.com.
