“Oklahoma – Weatherman” (Oct. 31): Simon speaks with meteorologist Gary England, who was featured in the movie “Twister” and has been at News 9 for more than 35 years.

“Raw Food in Cattle Country” (Oct. 31): A new raw food restaurant and culinary institute has opened smack dab in the heart of cattle country. Scott gets a lesson in how to prepare raw food Oklahoma style.
