We discuss the HIV education bill and compare the various plans to increase education funding. We also chat with Oklahoma state Senator Greg McCortney about social media usage, education funding, partisanship, and his advice on how voters can engage with the legislature.

With a teacher walk-out looming on the horizon, we visited with several teachers to get their thoughts and feelings on the subject. Scott and guest co-host John Rorke also discuss the weekly run-down of OK Capitol news, including the announcement that Oklahoma will resume executions, this time using...nitrogen gas?

Special sends draws to an end, giving way to the 2018 regular session bills, which include some good ones, bad ones, and downright odd ones. We also begin a discussion on post-partisanship in this highly partisan era. 

The debate (and fate) of the Step Up plan, more Health Department shenanigans, unlikely partisan team-ups, and some deliciously nerdy #oklegvalentines tweets. 

Following Governor Fallin's unusually brief State of State address, we visit with two voters (Nickolai & Courtney), a policy wonk (David Blatt), and a state representative (Marcus McEntire) to get a variety of responses to what the Governor had to say. [Apologies for sound quality - the Capitol is loud and we were trying out some new sound equipment!]

We look for our shadows and cast our predictions for the upcoming State of the State address and legislative session. There's also a discussion of "Friends" and Andy impersonates a woodland creature. 

Remember: on February 5th we'll be recording at the State Capitol following the State of the State address. We'd love to get your thoughts as well!

From education to alcohol and from sunscreen to feral hogs, we discuss some of the most interesting bills filed for the 2018 legislative session. Special guests Hayley Jones of CCOSA and LFT board member Effie Craven join in on the fun.

We discuss developments and implications of the proposed "Step Up Oklahoma" plan and take a look at the recently-released voter registration numbers. Oklahoma is losing voters!

Scott is back from holiday and getting caught up on the fact that the legislature is still in their second special session. We review the Step Up Oklahoma Coalition's suggested plan for fixing the state and begin discussing two of the State Questions that will be voted on in 2018.
