As a native of Missouri, I was pleasantly surprised to come upon this podcast. I grew up in Columbia, where the residents were more oriented toward the east and St. Louis than the west and Kansas City. This may have had something to do with baseball. But Kansas City has developed into what essentially is one of the capital cities of the Midwest, thereby establishing its geographic and cultural prominence. With a history as interesting as that of any city on the Atlantic or Pacific Coasts—and everywhere in between—Suzanne Hogan and Mackenzie Martin and team provide us with an engaging and entertaining format that has no shortage of topics. Great podcast. I highly recommend!

Great reporting and very interesting stories. I love it and always end up forwarding the episode on to someone in my life. Thanks!!

I am just old enough to have fuzzy memories of the riots in 1968. I was in kindergarten at Fairfax Elementary school, one of three white children in my class. We lived in Quindaro projects so there was quite a bit of activity in my neighborhood during that. Whether or not he lived in Kansas City this is the top shelf production, and sure to stimulate.

Great podcast. Wish they kept it going. Binged it over the summer and keep waiting for more!!!

Engaging, well researched and well told local history.

I couldn’t be more happy that this podcast exist. I’ve learned so much about Kansas City and truly entertain hearing about background that I didn’t even know existed.

Loved it. Fresh approach to what I had heard over the years about the Possum Trot name. Looking forward to the rest of the season 2 episodes.

This is the kind of local journalism I crave. Well done!

I enjoyed listening to the segments to date and look forward to future episodes. The topics provide insight to areas and individuals we otherwise might never have been exposed to as well as subjects providing a glimpse of KC’s history. The presentation is well produced and the reporters are knowledgeable and relatable.

I’ve always said KC is a city or neighborhoods and now we have a resource to tell us the stories behind those vibrant histories. A great listen. Well researched and provocative story telling.
