Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I’m your host Tim Landes. Oh boy was I excited to do this interview. My guest on this episode is Chad Rodgers, who co-owns and operates the legendary Cain’s Ballroom. It’s a place I consider a second home. I’ve seen hundreds of concerts at Cain’s over the years, yet I’d never talked to Chad until we sat down for this conversation the second week of March. At the time it was coincidentally one of the quietist months for the venue since the Rodgers family took over ownership in 2003. Of course now there won’t be any shows in for the next month or two as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the world suddenly changed, Cain’s Ballroom was rockin’ n rollin’. In late January, LA Times writer Christopher Reynolds published his list of the 12 best places for best live music in America. Cain’s ranked No. 4. The only places ahead of it are New Orleans’ Royal Street, NYC’s Carnegie Hall and Nashville’s Station Inn. Less than a week later, Rolling Stone named Tulsa as one of the eight best cities to see live music and highlighted the relationship Cain’s has with modern music legend Jack White. Of course Chad and I discuss how the White Stripes frontman came to fall in love with Cain’s and what it’s meant for business. We also look back at the early days of the Rodgers family operation, when they inherited the historic ballroom that at the time had no air conditioning, a leaking roof and a mythical wood floor that needed replaced. We also discuss the urban legend that is the spring-loaded floor.It was also suddenly a family business where nobody in the family had any experience in running a concert venue. Chad talks about the bumps and bruises and when things turned around it became the Cain’s Ballroom we all love today. This was a fun conversation diving into why Cain’s is so special to me and many other music fans that stretch well beyond Tulsa. This conversation is an expansion of a story about the ballroom that is featured in our April issue. Our intern, Ethan Veenker, did a great job writing about what makes Cain’s special. With distribution of physical copies extremely limited right now, I’d encourage you to visit TulsaPeople.com and check out the story, plus all the other great stuff in the magazine. If you want to read it like a magazine, we also have the digital issue linked on the homepage.Following my conversation with Chad, Tulsa Voice music writer Kyra Bruce checks in from home to share an excerpt of her interview with Tulsa singer/songwriter Lex followed by the song “Skin Off My Back” to close out the episode. Make sure to also check out her People to Wave To series on Youtube and The Voice’s facebook page. OK, let’s get this going. This is Tulsa Talks with Chad Rodgers of the legendary Cain’s Ballroom.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I’m your host Tim Landes. The voice you just heard is Maggie Hoey. For the past few years, she’s served as the executive director of TYPROS, one of the largest, most organized young professional organizations in the nation. In that role, she she’s worked to provide young professionals from all professions with opportunities to build relationships with community, business and government leaders and give a voice and outlet for creating change. We dive right into the initiatives and tactics TYPROS is using to recruit and retain young professionals as the organization enters its 15th year. Maggie does a great job explaining how the organization uses data-driven strategies and how TYPROs has evolved and adapted much like our city has over the same timespan. A couple weeks after our interview Maggie announced she had changed roles. Starting in January, she will be the assistant director of the Downtown Coordinating Council. She will be responsible for developing and executing an annual programming and activation plan for Downtown and will oversee communications and outreach initiatives. She will also support strategic and organizational planning initiatives for Downtown and the DCC.As you’ll hear in our conversation, we talk about the importance of downtown’s continued revitalization and the role it plays in creating a successful future for Tulsa. It just goes to show why she’s the perfect fit for her new role. We’re lucky to have her working as hard as she does to make Tulsa a better place.Maggie is a native of Sand Springs and now lives in midtown Tulsa. She graduated with a bachelor’s of science from Oklahoma State University and earned her master’s in public administration at OU-Tulsa. Prior to her time with TYPROs Maggie worked in development and marketing for local nonprofits, including the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, Tulsa Habitat for Humanity and Iron Gate. We discuss her career and her hobbies, which includes her passion for reading. I had a great time getting to know Maggie and learning from her. The future is bright for her. Following that conversation, I’m excited to bring on Tulsa Voice editor Blayklee Freed and Voice Digital Editor Kyra Bruce to talk about the changes occurring in the new year. Starting in January, The Voice will merge with TulsaPeople Magazine to create an expanded magazine with even more arts and entertainment coverage plus an even stronger presence online at TulsaPeople.com. As part of those changes, I’m excited to be bringing Kyra on to curate the songs we share at the end of each episode. Speaking of music, closing out this final episode of 2019 is the excellent new song “Rattlesnake Kate” by the Carter Sampson Trio. You’ll definitely want to give it a listen. More on them later. It’s been a great year, and I really appreciate you listening. We’re already deep into planning next year’s episodes and will get it going on New Year’s Day.Alright, let’s get this going. This is Tulsa Talks.

The Bus Boys sit down with Matt Carney of the Tulsa Voice to discuss what Westbrook means to OKC. How many games will the Thunder win this upcoming season? Full rebrand?? Not quite. Hear our saucy takes on the new alternatives and city jersey.

In this episode, Chris Murphy, whose fiction has appeared in Gulf Coast, This Land Press, The Jellyfish Review, decomP, The Tulsa Voice, among other publications, shares a piece called, “An Annual Report of the Seasons,” that is both moving and timely. Chris, a native of the Boston area, gives Lindsey and Emily his impressions of the Oklahoma weather, explains why he loves firefly season in Tahlequah, and mentions that he likes writing late at night with the window open (weather permitting, of course).

That’s Taylor Hanson, and if you live in Tulsa or if you’re a fan of eponymous band Hanson, he needs no introduction. The band is comprised of brothers Isaac (guitar, bass, piano, vocals), Taylor (keyboards, piano, guitar, drums, vocals), and Zac (drums, piano, guitar, vocals). They started the band in 1992 when they were 11, 9 and 6, and skyrocketed to fame with MMMBop in 1997. Now, 27 years after the band’s founding, they are still making music. Part of the reason these brothers are so beloved in their hometown is that despite their massive international following, they remain deeply rooted here in Tulsa, working to make the community stronger. Taylor Hanson started Food on the Move in 2014 inspired by the community-focused work of Edward Perkins, a former U.S. ambassador to South Africa. The mobile food project brings food trucks, fresh produce, cooking demonstrations, music, and health and social services to food deserts — economically strapped areas with limited access to nutritious food options. From a Tulsa Voice article that focuses on FOTM: “Food On The Move is visionary because it deals with the problem of food access in a way that both meets an immediate need and asks anyone who’s paying attention to re-think the way our community lives, works and eats.”This episode of Tulsa Talks is brought to you by the Tulsa Regional Chamber.Taylor Hanson knows a thing or two about success. And one thing he’s learned? What hits and what fades is often unpredictable, and your ability to be flexible — to be willing to reinvent — is crucial.So in case you’ve been living under a rock, the 6th annual Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival is this Saturday, May 19. The festival has grown immensely since it began in 2014, and has evolved alongside Hanson Day (which, by the way, is now several days) as a destination for Hanson fans to gather from all over the world here in Tulsa. Up next, Taylor shares what it was like to reinvent some old hits for Hanson’s newest album “String Theory.” But first, a special guest segment from the hosts of The Middle of Everything Podcast. Working moms Claire and Sarah are up next with their top tips for summer camp survival.

Philip and Andrew get a rare chance to see an original film print of 2001: A Space Odyssey as part of a 50th anniversary film screening at a local art house theater. They also got a chance to sit down with Jeff Huston who led the panel discussion to talk about the relevance of 2001 and its much debated ending. Why do films like 2001 deserve anniversary screenings? Philip and Andrew discuss how they had actually tried to record an episode about 2001 already and they not only had recording issues, but was not able to see the film for its 50th anniversary run in AMC theaters. Philip and Andrew sat down with Jeff Huston, VP of the OKFCC and writer for the Tulsa Voice, to discuss the film's relevance and its much debated ending. The experience of seeing the film "on film" in the theater is one of a kind. Having seen the film in high definition at home, the grainy analog presentation somehow faired much better. Experiencing an unexpected intermission and a missed reel change made for an experience that cannot be duplicated.
