Ready to step back in time AND soak up some stunning natural beauty? On this episode, we're exploring Sequoyah State Park in Oklahoma, a true gem for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Join us as we walk the fascinating Fossil Trail, a short but mighty interpretive path revealing remnants of life from 280 to 345 million years ago, including ancient crinoid stems, bivalvia molluscs, and even shark teeth! You'll hear about the scenic hikes that wind from serene lakeside views to peaceful pine forests, perfect for families, birdwatchers, and spotting abundant deer and wildlife.
Beyond the ancient past, discover why Sequoyah State Park is a haven for water lovers. With over 19,000 surface acres and 225 miles of shoreline on Fort Gibson Lake, it's ideal for boating, swimming, fishing, and beach-going. We'll also dive into all the other incredible amenities: guided horseback trail rides, golf, picnicking, camping, and the engaging activities at the park's nature center.
Also discussed Smokin Sisters BBQ, OK Tourism, Swadley’s, Brandi’s Bar and Grill and the Savoy 1902.
Special Thanks to our partner, Enid SOS.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
