Andrea Has Questions Andrea Myers

In this episode, I sit down with royalty from one of my favorite local, so-awful-at-times-you-have-to-watch Facebook groups - Tulsa Restaurant Reviews. And while Jared Gleaton isn't affiliated with TRR in any way, he uses the channel to share his reviews of Tulsa's fine dining restaurants. These reviews are LEGIT, friends. We dive into where his fancy taste in food (and cologne) comes from - among other topics - and he analyzes my fear of sharing my opinion on FB groups... This school psychologist by day, foodie by night, made some good points, but I think I'll still abstain... But you shouldn't! Comment and let me know what you think!! Thanks for listening.

Natasha Ball - of TashaDoesTulsa fame - joins me on the show for a spectacularly random and enjoyable conversation. We talk about how TashaDoesTulsa made her an early Tulsa influencer, even if she doesn't love the label, and how the blog came to be (and would she bring it back?). We beam chatting about the glory days of Twitter in the early 2000s when we built hyper-local, supportive and fun groups of strangers and friends in 140 characters (ah, the good old days). In the midst of me maybe probably having a mid-life crisis and unexpectedly bringing up premenopause, we also cover ducks, indigo dying, librarians and BBQ sauce. It's quite a ride... Oh, and Braum's: We love you, but we have questions. Thanks for listening!

Pigs flew the day I convinced professional photographer and Tulsa geography snob Shane Bevel to leave the comfort of his midtown cocoon to join me out south for the podcast. This episode has no shortage of sarcasm aimed at anything south of 31st Street but I think Shane's love for being in the heart of the city is well balanced with his love for being literally out in the middle of nowhere. We talk about his Tulsa Public School board photo project, for which he's received a lot of love - and a little hate - and what he thinks happens next. All this and more in today's episode. Thanks for listening.

NOTES: 
1. A trigger warning that we discuss a recent suicide awareness walk I attended and talk about mental health. 
2. There's a LOT that went unsaid about the TPS school board and its issues the past year or more. In pretty typical fashion, I forget I'm being recorded and am just having a conversation with Shane. The downside of that is missing context. Rather than attempt to drag Shane back to south Tulsa to re-record... Visit TulsaWorld.com or do some googling to understand more about the local situation Shane discusses and the state situation I mention which was less about the board specifically (although obviously very connected) and more about the state superintendent threatening to take over the school.

Charles Elmore joins me on this episode of the show to talk about the Oklahoma film industry, growing up in the country outside Claremore (we went to high school together) and so much more. As a cinematographer/camera operator/industry advocate, Charles has some fascinating experience working behind the videocamera the past 20 years in Oklahoma, including shooting for Reservation Dogs and a number of other shows, films and commercials. We swap stories from the 90s about videotaping our lives in high school and he sort of settles a bet between my husband and I about an actor we love who may or may not spend time on scooters in downtown Tulsa... Thanks for listening!

Tina Lampe joins me in the studio, along with her sister and my bestie, Lisa Johannsson. We get a glimpse into the Frein girls' upbringing and how if they weren't hanging out on the roof of the house, Tina was sneaking out of it. Also, with her re-upped passport in hand, Tina tells the story of her and her husband's first adventure outside the U.S. and their future plans to hit the beach. (If you listen closely, you can hear my anxiety as we talk about being on open water. ) And, we swap stories from our recent trips to NYC: Lisa shares some great advice from a teacher in her youth that helped her navigate the subway and I tell the heroic story of Lilly and I battling a hoard of street rats (basically). Thanks for listening!

AHQ two timer, Adam Paluka joins me again in season two to share an update on his bestie, Britney. We also try out names for the podcast's book club, hear about his exciting new-ish relationship and discuss buff-yays (not, buff-nahs). Sorry in advance for the sound at the end while Adam "reads" the Britney tarot cards and apparently forgets he's on a podcast and mics are an important thing... Bonus: check out the show on YouTube to enjoy watching Ruby take over Adam's personal space on the couch. Thanks for listening!
