Cities are defined by their cultures. Those cultures could entail sports, or business, or certainly arts and entertainment. Oklahoma City is thriving in all of these areas. But who makes that all happen?

This Town OKC explores the people behind the cultures. Their origins, their motivations, their challenges, and their dreams.

I’m Rick Allen Lippert. I’ve been in this town for over fifty years with a front row seat to seeing the culture grow from a dusty bus stop on the southern plains to a flourishing destination.

Join me as we meet the folks behind the culture on This Town OKC.2025 Art Divertissement et arts du spectacle

    Before he owned restaurants in This Town, Sean Cummings had a couple in Kansas City. Plus he spent a year on the circuit as a standup comic! Sean also admits that his courtship and marriage to the late dynamo, Cathy, was the least romantic one in history. How they ended up in This Town is quite interesting, though, as is how he and Cathy got involved in politics. This restauranteur-turned-political activist has a lot to say!

    Sep 8 2026
    As a fresh graduate with two degrees in architecture from the University of Manchester, Anthony McDermid came to the U.S. to look for work. His first job interview lasted all of five minutes. Before long, he formed his own firm, TAP, with a partner. He's now "tapering off" after 40 years, but only after designing and building hundreds of projects all over the country. Anthony talks about rugby, his childhood fascination with the construction of rebuilding his war-ravaged and bombed-out hometown of Bristol, England, his community involvement in This Town, and his love of traveling.

    S2E19 Jo Rowan

    Show business entertainers who can dance, sing, and act are called "triple threats." Before Oklahoma City University created it in 1980, there was no university in the USA that taught students how to succeed in the industry. Lots of schools had wonderful programs to create dancers or singers or actors, but it was Jo Rowan and her husband John Bedford who put it all together, along with the business aspect, and established the top school in the nation. And it stemmed from a photograph. The baseball-loving tomboy from Kentucky, who was told that she found her passion for ballet too late in life to be successful, spent years on Broadway and touring the world before landing in This Town. Her awards and accolades could fill a book. And she's going!
