StudioTulsa Presents Fascinating Discussions from the 2016 Aspen Ideas Festival

StudioTulsa is currently offering several hour-long conversations and lectures that were presented earlier this summer at the Aspen Ideas Festival. These programs were recorded by Minnesota Public Radio; we at KWGS-FM appreciate the opportunity to share them with our listeners, courtesy of MPR. Please note that these Aspen Ideas programs will begin at 11am on weekdays; not at our usual air-time of 11:30am.

We will return with normal StudioTulsa programming on Tuesday the 6th.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
