Oklahoma’s Favorite Son, Will Rogers

Recorded live at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore, this episode covers Will Rogers’ life and career from growing up on his family’s ranch in the Cherokee Nation to dining with kings and presidents. A born showman, he took his uncanny talent with a rope to greatest stages in the world and then translated that success to the silver screen in Hollywood. His homespun humor and political commentary captured the world’s attention and made him a beloved figure to all. Our guests on this episode are Tad Jones, director of the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, and Jennifer Rogers, Will’s great-granddaughter.
