3 guests confirmed


Good news! The Babbler has three confirmed guests.

1st up will be Shelia Lazar, a local favorite from Norman, OK. Shelia's mother allowed her to attend rock shows when Shelia was too young to drive. Sometimes, she even made the three hour trek to Dallas. On a school night. Can you imagine? This was in the early eighties, so Shelia was witness to some great acts. She's a sassy gal that will be taking calls from listeners. You wanna know what D. Boon was like? Call and ask!

2nd show will be Fred Walden. Fred is the owner of Walden Cleaners, the second oldest business in Norman. Sounds boring right? Believe me, Fred is anything but boring. There is no telling what will come charging out of his pie hole. Call and ask him about his experiences in Mexico for those seven months he lived in south Texas. He just might tell you. And if you're really good, we'll reveal to you who his brother is. You locals who don't already know the answer will be shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Our 3rd guest is the one-of-a-kind Jim Spurr from Shawnee. He has recently been nominated for Poet Laureate of the state of Oklahoma. But throw those poet stereotypes out the window. In fact, throw all your stereotypes out the window. Spurr defies them all. He loves Eleanor Roosevelt but he also has a film collection of which she would most certainly disapprove. At least, I think she would disapprove. You never know about people. Spurr taught me that.

Make sure and subscribe to my blog so you'll know when to catch the live podcasts.
