  • Exactly what I was looking for!

    This is a fantastic podcast for any locals in the KC area. I enjoy listening to podcasts with this format for national and world news, so I’m pleased I found this one focused on local news. The panel format offers some interesting perspectives about what’s happening in the KC area.

  • Predominantly Left

    Unsubscribed. Even the moderator is left. Definitely not balanced.

  • A panel of experts agree on the issues

    Good info, well produced, and a charming British accent by the host. It’s also laughably one side left leaning editorializing by the members of the panel.
