We've also been running several hour-long "Big Ideas" presentations on StudioTulsa lately, which were originally recorded at the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival; our thanks to Minnesota Public Radio for providing these recordings.

We will return with new StudioTulsa programs on Wednesday, August 19th. Thank you, as ever, for listening.

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.
