I didn’t think until now that podcast that covers what’s happening in our lovely city. Thanks to the creators for having the idea to start this podcast!
I’ve not listened until today however I will be checking out any new episodes released.
An in depth well informed local podcast for KC with a variety of stories
Always high-quality, informative segments. The host is a great interviewer and covers unique topics. I loved the recent episode with Sen. Anthony Hensley!
I’ve been pretty disappointed with Kraske’s interviews this year. He is gentle and passive with guests who should be challenged. Yesterday’s episode about KC police training was the end for me - I could not believe what I was hearing. This program is officially out of my rotation.
Kraske is just a little too old white guy for the world we’re living in. I think it’s time they bring in someone else for these interviews.
