The Oklahoma Today Podcast

It's an honor to welcome country music royalty onto this week's show: Norman's own Vince Gill is this week's interview guest. It's hard to know where to even begin with a career spanning four decades now, but Oklahoma Today contributor Preston Jones does his best to catch us up on Gill's recent activities, including touring as an Eagles member and the twenty-fifth anniversary of his 1998 album The Key. The Heart Won't Lie and neither will Vince, so you won't want to miss it. 

You wanted more Killers of the Flower Moon and you're getting just that. Our fourth season concludes with the second part of our preview of the upcoming film, this time with an interview from Addie Roanhorse, an Osage artist and founder of Big Rain Gallery in Pawhuska. In addition to working as an art director and Osage Nation cultural ambassador on Killers, she also designed the cover art for Oklahoma Today's upcoming November/December issue.

This week on the podcast, the editors sit down with Osage journalist and law student Mason Whitehorn Powell to discuss the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon movie, which was filmed in Oklahoma. Powell was on-set with director Martin Scorcese and has been following its development since the book's publication.
