Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, UCO English professor, is author of the blog Okie funk, Notes from the Outback, and Blue Oklahoma.
Dr. Hochenaur will speak to our class Tuesday, Oct. 7. He has been blogging regularly for a long time, and has gained national attention for the blog, which is a "left of center" political blog.
Please click on his blog, scan a couple of articles and its format. By 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, post below two questions you would like to ask him.
