So happy to find this podcast. They do an amazing job of educating listeners about the amazing history of Wichita, Kansas. As a fellow podcaster who only focuses on the true crime of Kansas these guys have been an amazing resource of ideas and directions of places to go in Wichita and their new foodie podcast is just the additional yummy addition we all need!
