Over This Town OKC

Cities are defined by their cultures. Those cultures could entail sports, or business, or certainly arts and entertainment. Oklahoma City is thriving in all of these areas. But who makes that all happen?This Town OKC explores the people behind the cultures. Their origins, their motivations, their challenges, and their dreams. I’m Rick Allen Lippert. I’ve been in this town for over fifty years with a front row seat to seeing the culture grow from a dusty bus stop on the southern plains to a flourishing destination.Join me as we meet the folks behind the culture on This Town OKC.

S2E12 Dan Mahoney

As the VP of Broadcasting for the OKC Thunder, Dan Mahoney oversees 70 major productions per year. His career took a circuitous route starting as the son of the DJ who introduced rock and roll to Philadelphia. So one might say that he was born into the business. Following a then-girlfriend to This Town in 1984, Dan continued his career in News at KEBC-FM. He returned to TV News at KWTV for several years before going to work in Gov. Keating's new office in February, 1995, just two months before the Murrah Building bombing. Dan coordinated worldwide media coverage of the Healing of the Heartland ceremony. He later followed Frank Keating to D.C. for a while before returning home to work remotely in 2004 way before that became a thing. He branched out and contracted with Brent Gooden to handle PR for clients that included both the New Orleans Hornets during their temporary relocation to This Town and also the Seattle Supersonics after Clay Bennett, et. al. purchased the team. Dan stayed on once that team made the move and has been with them since. Dan also tells of his world travels and his love for vintage stereo systems and drum kits. Post-production by Fred O. Bishop  Sponsored by Carpenter Square Theatre

S2E10 Court Jeske

Not many people get excited at the thought of stuffing envelopes, but Court Jeske did. As a sophomore, sports-loving business major at OU, Court badgered athletic director Joe C. until he relented. That led to a paid position of stuffing envelopes and much more. Starting his career with the Kansas City Wizards MLS soccer team, Court doubled his pay to stuff envelopes, and again, much more. Moving to Chicago to work for the U.S. Soccer national teams, he kept getting more and more responsibilities. Only one of three Americans accepted into a FIFA-run master's program in Europe, Court entered the international world of sport. Back stateside, he worked in Denver for the USA Rugby organization, then it was on to New York City and Major League Soccer. Recruited by folks in Nashville to start a pro soccer team there, Court is now duplicating his wildly successful plan to reimagine pro soccer in This Town. Post-production by Fred O.

aflevering S2E9 Marnie Taylor artwork

S2E9 Marnie Taylor

Marnie Taylor is the President & CEO of the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, an organization founded many years ago by a formidable force of nature, Pat Potts. Marnie and I share our deep appreciation for Pat. Mine comes from her support of me in the classes I took at the Center when first starting to renovate the post-war warehouse that became the forever home of Carpenter Square Theatre. Without Pat's support, CST probably wouldn't exist today. Marnie's story begins in Fort Bend, Indiana. She learned to swim in Lake Michigan, and switched from cheerleading to swimming in high school.  After graduating with a Journalism degree from  Notre Dame, she began her career in Chicago working for the Tribune. Her marriage to Clayton took her to exotic places such as Denver, Houston, Aruba, and Oklahoma City. Once settled in This Town, she immersed herself in the community eventually serving on about 30 boards of nonprofits before assuming her current job of helping nonprofit organizations statewide to survive and thrive. Marnie describes how much of her work now centers on advocacy for the nonprofit sector. Post-production by Fred O. Bishop Sponsored by Carpenter Square Theatre
