    We've heard his voice for years on television and radio commercials as well as at sporting events. He got his start in radio at the age of 14 with a live, on-air audition orchestrated by his station manager father. Brought to OKC for a radio job at the old KLTE, for the past several decades he's run his own audio recording studio, RK-One Productions. Back during the covid pandemic, RK-1 Studios was the location of a series of classic radio show recreations, broadcast live on the Carpenter Square Theatre YouTube channel (where they are still available for viewing).

    A vibrant city needs an arts district with a unique character. In Oklahoma City, that's The Paseo. And thanks to visionary John Belt and his wife Joy Reed Belt, OKC has the most distinctive district in this town and where Joy runs the JRB Gallery as OKC's preeminent art dealer. In this podcast, Joy tells how she arrived here, via Tulsa to teach returning Vietnam vets (with a little help from Leon Russell), and became involved in the revitalization of The Paseo all while becoming a world-traveling business consultant. You may think you know something about the history of the arts in this town, but you're guaranteed to learn more from Joy as she tells the history of legendary arts pioneer Nan Sheets and the creation of the OKC Museum of Art.
