A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Once you've opened all the presents and consumed a sufficient number of baked goodies, join us for our final episode of 2023. We saved the best for last by bringing on Sterling Zearley, the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department's Director of Parks, as our guest of the week. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone as friendly as the Poteau native, or anyone better suited to lead the state parks system. Editors Nathan Gunter and Ben Luschen talk with Zearley about the economic impact of Oklahoma State Parks, the First Day and First Week hikes scheduled to kick off 2024, and even proper fly-fishing technique.
Also this week, the editors share their Oklahoma travel resolutions for the New Year, and podvents wrap up 2023. We hope you enjoy!
