On this episode of the ONR, we explore the evolution and complications of campaign finance since Citizens United was ruled constitutional, deeming companies as people. As homelessness continues to not just plague the world over, some officials are looking to Tulsa and a program they started to end homelessness for solutions. Drones may be shifting their flight patterns from the battlefield to the backyard, as agencies look at the potential to do everything from fight fires to crime with these unmanned aerial drones. Plus, Okie entrepreneurs, State Capitol artwork, and the best ghost town you never heard of, on this ONR.

On this ONR, we explore the payday loan stores that Oklahomans are using in droves--as much as twice the national average. Then, as bodies of water dry up and a key aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma is depleted, residents are left wondering if local mining operations are to blame. In the eastern wing of the state, three entities--a university, a hospital, and a high school--are banding together to help end the shortage of rural doctors. Medicine isn't the only concern of rural parts of the state. We speak with Mike Spradling, President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, about the Farm Bill languishing in Congress, and what that means for local farmers. Plus, the Great State Fair, voters speak their mind, and painting up the ice, on this ONR.

On this episode of the ONR, oil production is booming in Oklahoma, and that means employment for many across the state. But the work, while plentiful, can be dangerous, as we learn from StateImpact's Joe Wertz who has been reporting on the pitfalls of the oil field. In Tulsa, researchers from across the United States and around the globe gather to work out a harrowing problem: why does child abuse keep occurring, and what can be done to stop it? Plus, we speak with one of the nation's last political cartoonists and the news cycles that inspire him, visit Oklahoma wine country, and get lost in a maze--or is it maize?--of Thunder, on this ONR.

On this week's ONR, schools across the country are growing more diverse, and it's causing unique problems for some Oklahoma educators. Clean energy abounds in the Sooner state, or it's trying to. Lawmakers and leaders continue to push for compressed natural gas vehicles, and while Oklahoma is eighth in the country for wind energy production, the loss of a tax credit could leave a booming industry blowing in the wind. Out of the ashes of the state's recent wildfires, communities come together to help students left homeless from the flames, and one program is helping rural residents better fireproof vulnerable houses. Plus, a trip to Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, an exploration of a tribe's history, and a look at the high-flying women of the Museum of the 99's on this ONR.

Museum of the 99's

At the turn of the century, 117 invitations were sent to female pilots across the country to join the second meeting of the All Women Transcontinental Air Race. 99 pilots answered the call, joining a community of female fliers that have been supporting each other in the friendly--and sometimes not so friendly--skies.

Highway 9: Kiowa Museum

Featured in Top Stories

More than three dozen tribes have left their cultural influence on Oklahoma, each unique from the rest. But preserving that history for future generations can be a challenge. Facing that challenge head-on is the Kiowa tribe in southwest Oklahoma with a museum heralding their past and using it as a beacon for their future.

Greenwood Yesterday and Today

Featured in Top Stories

The district where Tulsa's 1921 Race Riots occurred is close to being added to the National Registry of Historic Places, but controversy over the project abounds. Greenwood community leaders are concerned parts of the district once dubbed 'America's Black Wall Street' will be left out in favor of sections of Tulsa's downtown in order to meet a historic building requirement for the Registry. Ironically, the reason Greenwood doesn't have the required historical buildings is because many were razed during the Race Riots. But out of the ashes of those razed buildings and broken dreams rose a cultural epicenter, now flourishing with restaurants, recreational activities, and monuments to a harrowing moment in Tulsa's past.

CNG Cars

Featured in Top Stories

Governor Mary Fallin can often be found in the Motor City as of late, as she joins a handful of leaders from 22 other states in pushing American car makers to craft more CNG vehicles for use in state fleets. Part of the reason for that push? Oklahoma's abundance of this cheap fuel.
