Holiday Program:
The Greyhound Diaries
With 25 times as many destinations as the largest airline, Greyhound's ridership cuts across every demographic except one: class. Former foreign correspondent Doug Levitt has traveled 120,000 Greyhound miles, gathering stories of fellow travelers struggling to get by. He weaves their stories together with his original songs for a one-hour documentary produced for the BBC,
The Greyhound Diaries. It kicks off KGOU's Thanksgiving Day special programs at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22.

What's Next for Oklahoma Engaged Reporting
|
|
|
|
The crowd listens to the panel discussion at the watch party.
|
|
Engaged voters gathered on election night for a first-of-its-kind, non-partisan watch party, bringing together listeners of KGOU, KOSU and other public radio fans to watch the results, hear political discussion and enjoy the camaraderie. The evening featured a live, 4-hour simulcast over KGOU, KOSU and KCCU in Lawton. Our thanks to everyone who attended, and to our funders, the Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation and the Kirkpatrick Foundation.
But even though the elections are over, reporting for our collaborative Oklahoma Engaged project continues. Reporters for KGOU, StateImpact Oklahoma and our other partners will explore the aftermath of the elections: What actions will newly-elected officials undertake in the upcoming legislative session? And how will those actions address the issues Oklahomans identified as important in our polling for Oklahoma Engaged? Stay tuned.

Listener Callout: What Did You Bring When Fleeing A Conflict?
Gert Berliner packed a stuffed monkey when he fled the Nazis as a child in 1939. He kept the toy for more than a half-century before donating it to a museum. His son, NPR's Uri Berliner, reported
his story yesterday on
All Things Considered. That prompted NPR to begin collecting stories about the personal objects people hold onto when they are forced to leave their homes because of war or other dangers. If you have a story to share, you could be featured in an upcoming report.
