On today's edition of our program, we hear from the ever-gregarious Steve Ripley, an Oklahoma music legend. He's known as both a recording artist and record producer --- and as the longtime leader of the celebrated Tulsa-based band, The Tractors. Ripley is now hosting and producing an all-new, 20-part radio series called "Oklahoma Rock and Roll," which is being heard on public radio stations all across the state. The show will debut on KWGS 89.5 HD-1 on Sunday night (July 5th) at 6pm.
On our program today, we're thinking and talking about current efforts in both Congress and the White House to fix the awful (and awfully unfair) mess that is American healthcare. Our guest is Dr. Dale J. Block, a Florida-based physician and healthcare expert whose new book is entitled "Healthcare Stewardship: A Guide to Improving the Health of All Americans."
On today's StudioTulsa, we speak with the artist and photographer Henry Chalfant. Twenty-five years ago, he and co-author Martha Cooper first published the book, "Subway Art" --- a volume that made quite a splash in the art world, and eventually in the wider world as well. Indeed, as Chalfant explains to our host Rich Fisher, this strikingly-illustrated volume (with more than 200 color photos), did much to assert the cultural and creative significance of graffiti itself.
