For the Season 1 finale of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard chats with Rodger Randall, the former Mayor of Tulsa, University of Oklahoma Tulsa Professor and British Honorary Consul in Oklahoma.

Rodger discusses his time as mayor of Tulsa, making an impact as a public official and the evolution of politics and media.

A native Tulsan, Rodger reflects on what it means to be an Oklahoman. He discusses his family history, recounting how his ancestors came to Oklahoma in the Land Run of 1889, and Oklahoma’s history, covering the excitement of the ‘last new frontier’ to the horror of the Black Wall Street Massacre.

He also discusses his 16 years as the British Honorary Consul General in Oklahoma and the cultural significances and differences between UK and US sports.

A fascinating interview with a true statesman and Oklahoman icon.
