Join me for an exclusive tour of the incredible exhibition, “Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer,” now open at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA). This is a one-of-a-kind experience that you won’t find anywhere else! I’m thrilled to have Catherine Shotick, the guest curator of this highly anticipated exhibition, with me.

Pallas the Librarian interviews Arianne Hunter about her career path as a scientist. Pallas and Arianne also make fluffy foam slime and discuss the books that inspired Arianne, “Don’t Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style” by Randy Olson and “Year of Yes” by Shonda Rhimes.

Experience the captivating world of science with Pallas the Librarian in Yes! Science! As Pallas proves science has no boundaries, she interviews a diverse array of individuals thriving in STEM-related careers, unveiling the incredible stories behind their work. From groundbreaking researchers to ingenious engineers, each episode delves into their fascinating journeys and the invaluable contributions they make to society. Through captivating interviews, mesmerizing experiments, and enlightening literary explorations, Yes! Science! is a gateway to the limitless possibilities of STEM, inviting everyone to embrace the wonder of scientific inquiry.

I filmed the first season of Yes! Science! with Pallas in 2019. Last year, I re-edited the show to add graphics, better pacing, segment breaks, and new science facts. This was released exclusively on The Show Starts Now streaming library, and now I’m bringing them to Spielventure. I’ll be releasing more of the revised episodes throughout the summer, so stay tuned!

I traveled the stretch of Route 66 from Arcadia to Bristow with Caitlin from Oklahoma’s Credit Union. This Spielventure episode features POPS, the Arcadia Round Barn, John’s Place, Manvel Avenue Coffee, Destinations, Route 66 Interpretive Center, Route 66 Bowl, and Dude & Dot Mercantile. We spent an entire day visiting sights from the area between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and there was still more to see, so make this trip a full-day experience.

I’m excited to release the first episode with the new branding style. I’m still figuring out what the next Spielventure episode will be as I’ve been busy with client work. Do expect an episode of “Yes! Science!” and a new Art & Victory to be coming out next.
