Imaginary Oklahoma

KOSU

What do you think of when you hear the word Oklahoma? A new podcast from KOSU, AIR and This Land Press offers a fictional take on the 46th state. From Franz Kafka to Rodgers and Hammerstein, writers both foreign and domestic have been speculating about Oklahoma for more than a century. Oklahoma is more than a place, it’s an idea. The new audio series, based on the book Imaginary Oklahoma from This Land Press, offers a complex picture of the pan-shaped land through a simple, ghostly narrative.
