Episode 5: Go See The World More

Sometimes in life, we have a narrow vision of the world around us, so in our fifth episode, we’ll take a step back and look at the bigger picture! What's the best way to do that? We ask the professional picture takers! For our fifth episode, we are joined by Tulsa photographers Megan Torres and Liz Villanueva. In this lively conversation, we delve into the world of photography and the complexities of life behind the lens.

Episode 4: The Band Keeps Playing

Today's episode, The Band Keeps Playing, were joined by musicians Omaley B and Mitch Gilliam dives into the Tulsa's rich music scene, birthplace of  legends like Leon Russell and Charlie Wilson.

Episode 2: Let's Eat with Chefs Chad Cherry and Casey Tarochione

Today’s episode is titled Let's Eat!  When we talk about arts we tend to look towards visual, performance, and music but today we decided to focus on an art form that we all wish we could master, the Culinary arts. Cooking is a mixture of science, math, art, and of course love. Food brings people together at tables across the world and lately Tulsa has been making strides in the culinary with restaurants like Noches being a semifinalist for a James Beard award, to Trenchers being featured on Guy Fireri’s Bite Club, and a slew of other amazing restaurants making headlines around the world.  Tulsa has become a foodie haven.  Often times we think more about the food on our plate versus the hands and minds that craft masterpieces in the kitchens. So join me as speak to two of Tulsa’s culinary artists our first guest is probably our most recongizable, Chef Casey Tarochine  is the master of the grill at one of  Tulsa’s hottest  hangouts Tina’s where smashburgers and cocktails reign supreme. Our second guest isnt a native Tulsan but has truly fallen in love with our city just as much as we have fallen in love with him. Chef Chad Cherry is the Co-Founder of Refresh Live & Chef Kulture and has been in the restaurant/ food service industry for almost twenty years. His journey in the culinary field began after he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and spent a month in the hospital on what he calls an “unplanned vacation”. Chef learned, firsthand, the challenges of living with a disease and finding prepared meals that support healthier eating.

Episode 1: Appearance with Kellen James and Corey Pearson

In our first episode, we find the need to introduce ourselves, and the first thing is always the appearance. So here at Missed Connections, we figured our first episode to introduce ourselves would be perfect to get our appearance together and have two of Tulsa’s very own men of fashion to join us and give us insight into  Tulsa’s growing fashion culture and the impact it's having on the city. Today’s guests are on two separate sides of the fashion world. Our first guest is Kellen Jones, owner of Silhouette Sneakers; our other guest is the artist and creator of the Tulsa-based clothing brand CMYLE, Corey Pearson.
