Hit The Bricks

On this Veterans Day, join Chris Evans (Guthrie News Page), Michael Williams (Territorial Museum), and Justin Fortney (City of Guthrie), as they talk about the adventures of one of Guthrie's most interesting historical characters, Medal of Honor Winner Oscar J. Upham.

Mr. Upham travelled the world and experienced some of the greatest events in the 19th and 20th centuries. Thanks to all our Guthrie veterans today! #VeteransDay #MedalOfHonor

The newest episode of Guthrie's Hit The Bricks podcast features a really fun conversation with Shane Henry and Maggie McClure, the husband and wife musical duo who make up The Imaginaries. Hear about their experience being on set for the feature film Reagan, filmed here in Guthrie, as well as their upcoming projects and shows.

(Note: In the interview they mention their upcoming concert at the Tower Theatre OKC ... that show has changed to livestream only, and you can still get tickets at towertheatreokc.com ... proceeds going to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma)

Enjoyed a great conversation with Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell about tourism and the film industry in Guthrie and throughout Oklahoma. Thanks to the Lt. Governor for stopping by, and thanks to Heady Coleman for guest co-hosting the episode. 

The State of Oklahoma has declared that liquor stores can deliver during the COVID19 crisis, so what better time to post this episode discussing the history of alcoholic beverages in Oklahoma! Thanks to Michael Williams from the Oklahoma Territorial Museum for stopping by to provide the history lesson (and a good deal of laughter). 

Gary Good has been a fixture in Oklahoma entertainment circles for decades. In this episode you'll learn about his renowned house concert series in Guthrie ("Music At The Moon"), his art gallery, and his Guthrie bed & breakfasts. For more info on all of these Guthrie staples, head over to Gary's website.
