Host Andy sits down with longtime contributor and community icon Marlys Cervantes for a heartfelt conversation about writing, creativity, and community impact.
From her early days as a young poet to decades of teaching creative writing, Marlys shares how storytelling has shaped her life—and the lives of others. They discuss her current articles in the July issue, including a deep dive into Ponca City’s surprising 3D archery range and a look at Project Transformation, a summer literacy program helping local kids fall in love with reading.
The episode also spotlights Marlys’s decades-long involvement with the Ponca Playhouse, where she’s acted, served on the board, and championed accessibility and inclusion. Whether you’re a budding writer, a theater lover, or just someone who believes in the power of community, this episode is packed with inspiration and insight.
