Episode 12: Julie Pearson Little Thunder - A Southern Fantasia
In this episode, which was recorded remotely in November 2020, we meet playwright and Native theater scholar, Dr. Julie Pearson Little Thunder, and take a listen to selections from her latest play, “A Southern Fantasia.” The reading features Elizabeth Randall as Arifiday, Jana Rhoads (Kiowa/Caddo) as Laune, Vanessa Adams Harris (Mvskoke Creek) as Okcate, April Wind (Mvskoke Creek/Cherokee) as Auntie, and Harold Blalock (Eastern Shawnee/Peoria/Cherokee) as Fletcher. Dr. Julie Pearson Little Thunder has a theater degree from the University of Kansas and worked as a co-founder, director and playwright for a Tulsa-based Native theater company from 1993 to 2010. Of mixed Irish, Creek and African-American ancestry, Little Thunder has published over a dozen articles on Native theater and the Native arts for various journals and magazines. Her most recent works include a book, A Life Made With Artists and a screenplay. She talks to Emily and Lindsey about writing “A Southern Fantasia,” which is one of the few pieces of writing she has completed in the last thirty years that isn’t set in Oklahoma. Little Thunder shares her thoughts on writing a play set in Alabama and the complications of Southern history, discusses the challenges of directing a play during the pandemic, and offers her insight into taking on new creative projects in screenwriting. <p>Song Credits:</p> <p>Sonatina in C Minor by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4393-sonatina-in-c-minor</p> <p>License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</p> <p> </p> <p>Thinking Music by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4522-thinking-music</p> <p>License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</p> <p> </p> <p>Umbrella Pants by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4559-umbrella-pants</p> <p>License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</p> <p> </p> <p>Midnight Tale by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4710-midnight-tale</p> <p>License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</p> <p> </p> <p>I Feel You by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3894-i-feel-you</p> <p>License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</p>

Episode 10: Karl Jones - Silver Star
<p>In this live episode, <a href= "https://www.tulsaartistfellowship.org/fellows/karl-jones">Tulsa Artist Fellow Karl Jones</a> reads from his memoir-in-progress at Curiosity Fest, a daylong festival celebrating literature, history, philosophy, and ethics sponsored by <a href= "https://www.okhumanities.org/">Oklahoma Humanities</a> in Oklahoma City.</p> <p>Karl, who grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York, talks about his career as a writer, children’s literature editor at Penguin Random House, performer, and visual artist. While Karl has authored and edited many books for children, his venture into writing a memoir for adults is a new experience. The excerpts he shares with Emily and Lindsey from his memoir-in-progress reflect on moments from his life that explore his sexuality, the rigidity of gender roles, and the vulnerability one must have to write effectively about sensitive topics. He also speaks about the power of silence and how it affects relationships with friends or family, reminisces on his best dance moves at the Silver Star Saloon in the late 1990s, and imagines what a perfect Oklahoma might look like. </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Song Credits:</span></p> <p>Who Likes to Party by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: <a href= "https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4627-who-likes-to-party">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4627-who-likes-to-party</a> </p> <p>License: <a href= "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Realizer by Kevin MacLeod</p> <p>Link: <a href= "https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5047-realizer">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5047-realizer</a> </p> <p>License: <a href= "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p> <p> </p>
