With all the hype about the new "twisters" movie, here's our episode about little Wakita, the town that was fictionally hit in the Twister film of the 1990s. The town has NEVER been hit by a tornado, thanks to old Chief Wakita himself...https://withintherealm.libsyn.com/wakita-a-no-twister-zone

Spring 1954, somewhere in northwestern Oklahoma. A group of upstart high schoolers form a marching band to represent their school at sporting events when the school could no longer send the official band. Small gestures from folks in town made the idea work. A story worthy of a Hallmark movie, but packed with lessons how to make things happen! withinpodcast.com https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/withintherealm/Brownie.mp3

This morning, I found myself in little Seiling, Oklahoma. I made my way to the Brumfield Cemetery where many of my family are laid to rest. Out there also is the final resting place of Percy Hook, called a friend to all by the people of that little town all those many years ago. I drove down the alley described by my mother and found the steps that led to his little apartment behind the local grocery store. Not many are left who remember Percy Hook, this episode will at least introduce you,
I took it as a challenge to find the history of a character from my mother's hometown in western Oklahoma. She had little to go on, but we found the story - not only the story about this figure from her childhood, one Percy Hook, but also that of the nature of the town itself. withinpodcast.com Spec...
On this anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of the beaches of Normandy, we revisit this episode about a young farm boy from Oklahoma who gave his life in the days following the invasion. His final medal and a touching letter home have become his legacy and a reminder to those in his hometown of his sacrifice. But there is quite a story in the middle of those two things.
A soldier's story. The box held a medal, a government form and a letter. It was the letter, a quick note home from a GI to his family, that drove Matt Carlson to find the rightful owners of the little package he bought at the flea market. So many things fell into place, as if it were meant to be, fo...
June 4, 1937, an Oklahoma grocery store owners introduces a new way to shop.
You might be surprised to hear some of the details about the advent of the shopping cart, but even as casual as our relationship with the basket on wheels is, it has had a profound affect on retail shopping. As omni-present these devices are, they may have never got off the ground if not for some qu...
A few months back I had an old friend, a popular Muskogee Radio Personality, Cliff Casteel, graciously provided a professional quality weather advisory for an episode. I have known Cliff since before we were school and we have come in and out of contact for all the years since. Earlier this morning he passed away. In honor of our friendship and his talent he lent to an old friend, I present this episode again. Godspeed, Cliff.

The sentiment of this episode has been on my mind a lot lately. We are all in this together.
There a lot wrong with the world, especially when you're looking for it. But there plenty of hope and sunshine, sometimes it shows up at your front door. Today's story is about a weary teacher, a fabled figure from American folklore and a guy with a heart as big as all outdoors. For more info....
Described as wild and beautiful creatures, the horses of Shannon County, Missouri are just that. The off spring of work horses abandoned by desperate Ozark farmers during the depression, they have survived and flourished on the Federal Lands around the Current and Jack's Fork Rivers. Once seen as a problem to be disposed of, they are now a protected part of the National Park. And they pose a question about tame-ness.

For Memorial Day, we are re-sharing an episode about one of the boys that didn't make it back from the Beaches of France back in '44.

Working on the next episode and, as usual, treating myself to a bottle (glass, as nature intended) of Kickapoo Joy Juice. It's a routine that has developed over time, the recording of each podcast episode being fueled by the Al Capp inspired drink.
Putting the finishing touches on the most recent script this morning, but spent yesterday fleshing out some ideas for future episodes. The subject matter included honeybees and steam locomotives.

The Cookson Hills hold many a legend about the exploits of Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd and his amazing escapes from the clutches of the law through a hail of gunfire. But there's also the story about a collector, a clerk really, from a loan office in Fort Smith who was able to best the man who was soon to be Public Enemy No. 1 - without even knowing it. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/withintherealm/Floyd_Repo.mp3

I'm feeling philosophical about my walks with my assistant producer, Boomer, on the trail near our home. By applying a lesson I learned from the pages of the nerdy books I read when I was a kid, I have special outlook on not just the walks on the trail, but many of the things that happen around me.

March is Small Press Month. Support the companies that will publish books no one else will.
"The overarching goal of Small Press Month is to display and hand sell good independent press books," said National Small Press Month volunteer coordinator Mark Kohut. "There are all kinds of ways to celebrate -- author events, window and table displays, features in local newspapers -- whatever creative ways booksellers use to focus on selling books they like."
Noting that the goal of the event is to create a place for independent press titles in Americans' consciousness, Kohut added, "We're hoping to draw attention and sales to small presses in the same way National Poetry Month has brought attention and sales to poetry."
In an upcoming monthly mailing, stores with Book Sense will find information about NSPM, including suggestions for commemorating the event and a colorful poster, which can be used as the basis for displays. The poster features a quote from Alice Walker: "As water to flowers ... Independent publishing to democracy."
Thanks to Valerie Scott, Patrick and Connie Greenlee, Kris Henry Taff, Mallory Greenlee Sims, Danny Essary, Nancy Ghormley. John Turner, Kathy Pickle Turner, Jamie Tucker, Alex Martin, Hope Martin, Martin Mountain Studio and every one else for a great time last night! withinpodcast.com

The whole idea Within The Realm is based on is this: Everything has a story and most of them are worth telling. These stories have come to me through time and travel, they have not been manufactured for the podcast but generated through a personal experience. Hence the name; the realm in question is mine. I’m happy to share it with you.
I think the best stories are those you don’t think you need to hear, but once having heard them, you’re glad to took the time to listen. There’s no reason anyone needs to hear a story about a historic phone booth or the Battle of Picacho Pass, but your experience is the richer for it.
It’s my hope to provide the listener with an entertaining story and enough information to pursue the subject further if they wish. Even though these stories originated within my realm, I am sure that everyone has something like a Bigfoot hoax or a one of a kind hardware store in their realms as well. I hope I can provide an additional lens from which to see the world.
I hope you enjoy the little bits of info I provide and find a little entertainment in them. Thanks for listening.
