With scratch-made baked goods, Saint Amon Baking Co has a motto that everyone should be able to afford good, quality food. With options ranging from things people may have never heard about to treats for children to high-end desserts to enjoy.

OKC Improv at the Plaza District

Brian Gililland from the Okie Show Show guest-hosted his first episode of Uncovering Oklahoma by getting to know Oklahoma’s premier showcase of the best local and regional improvisational comedy and theater, OKC Improv. Brian spoke with Kendon Lacy, Cory Phillips, and Pallas about what visitors can expect from an improv show, the history of the theatre, the benefits of taking an improv class, and the organization’s community outreach. 

Visit OKC Improv for yourself at 1757 NW 16th Street in Oklahoma City’s Plaza District and be sure to get tickets at okcimprov.com

For a trip back in time, here’s my first story I did about OKC Improv when they were getting their start at Ghostlight Theatre back in 2010. 

Then several years, I followed up with OKC Improv in 2017.

Silhouette Sneakers & Art

For my first proper Uncovering Oklahoma episode for 2020, I traveled to Tulsa where I interviewed Venita Cooper of Silhouette Sneakers & Art. Silhouette is a retail experience where fashion, art, and community converge. In my interview with Venita, she shared the story behind her passion for sneakers and her goals of becoming an inclusive space in Tulsa.

As part of my goal to improve the quality of my episodes this year, for the first time, I’ve released this video in 10-bit 4K HDR HLG. In the past, I’ve typically released episodes in 8-bit 1080p SDR as 4k felt like overkill, plus it allowed me to crop the video without losing quality. This year, I’m also doing interviews with at least two cameras. There are new graphics to go with the new year. Basically, I wanted to flex my skills and be better so I hope you enjoy.

Visit Silhouette Sneakers for yourself at 10 North Greenwood Avenue Suite C (facing Archer) in Tulsa or their website at SilhouetteTulsa.com
