Black Oak Presents, a Journal of Middle American Culture, was a quarterly publication published by Black Oak Media between January 2007 and December 2010. During that time, Black Oak interviewed a number of Midwestern artists and educators, as well as some controversial and nationally-known academics, writers, and social & environmental activists. Whether it is Jenny Keefe, “Jessamyn and Charles,” and DJ Peter Propaganda discussing their local music scenes, Hart D. Fisher reflecting on his days as a horror comic publisher in Illinois, or Peter Brock discussing the problems afflicting international journalism in the United States, there is something in this collection for everyone. Additional interviewees include environmental activist Derrick Jensen, Jan Stover of the libertarian Mother’s Institute, Andrew Yeoman of BANA, Dr. Tom Sunic, burlesque dancers Foxy Tann and Red Hot Annie, and more!
