    Norman, Oklahoma artist Brett McDanel constructs innovative industrial sculptures from found objects. For the last twelve years McDanel has spent his free time scouring streets, vintage stores and the scrap yards for parts that, to most people, are insignificant. The artist states, “When walking down the street you find a random piece of metal that doesn’t belong there.

Unfortunately, we lost Randy recently after a hard-fought battle with cancer. We had wanted to have him on as a featured guest on the podcast but were unable to make that happen. However, with his family's blessing, we assembled a few of his closest friends for this episode to talk about how they knew Randy, how he impacted their lives and what some of their favorite memories of Randy are. A great episode for everyone who knew Randy and especially those who did not.
