Oklahoma Audio Almanac

About the Collection

"Hello, I'm Steven Knoche Kite, welcoming you to the Oklahoma Audio Almanac, where we turn back the pages of history to bring you the stories of our State's past."

Every Wednesday morning for four years, this greeting was followed by a brief look at one or more historically important events occurring during that week in Oklahoma. “The Oklahoma Audio Almanac” was heard on KOSU, Oklahoma's Public Radio, Wednesdays at 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. from May 31, 2000, to May 26, 2004.
