Who am I?

I'm an educator, podcaster, and author with a passion for books and reading and a mission to help people discover books and authors they might not otherwise find. As a life-long Oklahoman (Okie), I wanted to take my passion for books and reading and use it to highlight the incredible work done by authors close to home. Oklahoma isn't typically thought of as a place that produces authors, but there are a ton of fantastic writers coming out of the state and I want to help people find it. I've been an Oklahoman all my life (even when I lived in Texas) and love celebrating the great things about this state. There are so many incredible stories about people and events connected to Oklahoma and I want people to know about them.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

The Okie Bookcast is committed to connecting curious readers to their next great read by amplifying Oklahoma authors and stories. It's a celebration of the rich literary history and life of Oklahoma. I release interviews with authors and other book-connected folks twice a month and also host a monthly book chat show (Your Next Great Read) with my daughter, author Hannah Herron, and a special guest. Every episode of the Bookcast features conversation about books and the art and business of writing them. This list is an extension of my podcast because it presents other important elements of Oklahoma history and culture.

What is my podcast playlist about?

Each of these podcasts focuses on Oklahoma stories, whether it be history or culture or the best place to grab a burger. The people behind these shows are passionate about Oklahoma and do a fantastic job of presenting our state to the world.

Howdy Y’all...just kidding! Welcome to our page. We are the Only in Oklahoma Show, where you can hear about travel and entertainment in the Great State of Oklahoma. Our sole purpose is to shine a light on some of the people, places and stories that make Oklahoma, more than just “OK”. In fact, Oklahoma is one of the most underrated travel destinations in the country even by some of the locals. Powered by award winning podcasters (2018 Podcast Award – Society and Culture), Harley C. and Brett Manzer. Tune into the Only in Oklahoma Show to hear interviews, news and reviews about Oklahoma’s best restaurants, hotels, festivals, museums, outdoor activities, breweries, rodeos, concerts, casinos, Route 66, and more (literally this list is endless). If it’s fun and in Oklahoma, we will be talking about it. We will also be covering some not so topics, like bureaucrats, bridges, toll booths and taxes. If it affects your bottom line or your lake time, we will be cussin’ and discussin’. If you are joining us from the Odd Pod, some things never change. Manzer and Harley will be trying to make you laugh while dropping some knowledge about the places we cover. Don’t worry, we will still be covering the occasional red-dirt ghost story, cryptid, and UFO conspiracy...as long as it is north of the Red River (BOOMER!). Boots and straps and cowboy hats are optional. Welcome to the Only in Oklahoma Show!
