À propos de ce contenu audio

 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

    • S2E2 Lucas Ross pt 1

      S2E2 Lucas Ross pt 1
      Jan 7 2026
      He’s visible on TV and films in a variety of roles: morning show co-host, doofus Donnie in car spots, and even as a banjo player in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” And you’ve probably heard his banjo playing without realizing who was behind the amphibious performer. Lucas Ross now supplies the music when Kermit the Frog plays. It’s a fascinating story how it came to be from a youngster first hearing the Rainbow Connection on TV to actually playing onstage with Willie Nelson. The kid from Minco, OK did good!

      This podcast is a little longer than usual, and we didn’t even get to how our two careers have crossed. That will have to come later. Please stand by.

      S2E1 Shoshana Wasserman
      Jan 2 2026
      If anyone was ever destined for their career, it’s Shoshana Wasserman, Deputy Director of the First Americans Museum. Her degrees and early professional life running a Native American dance company that traveled the world, with a couple important stops along the way, prepared her well for her current position. As did her personal connection to Enoch Kelly Haney who was instrumental in creating the FAM.

      The saga of how the FAM grew from an idea to a world-class cultural institution exemplifies how much perseverance is required when one chooses to “dream big.”

    • S1E19 Jackson Gifford

      S1E19 Jackson Gifford
      Dec 12 2025
      Normally, This Town OKC highlights the people with decades of experience behind the cultures. This guest, however, barely has two decades of existence on Earth. He’s here because of his potential to enhance the culture of This Town.

      Jackson Gifford is one of those people who knew at an early age what they wanted to do with their life, and that is running a professional theatre. Precocious and audacious, his personal drive took him to prestigious schools where he grew as an artist while facing the challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, the first production of his fledgling professional theatre company (while still in college!) was mounted during the time of outdoor-only performances, and to a disastrous result. Undeterred, however, his Southern Plains Productions has flourished and is now in its sixth season.
