I am a transplant to the Kansas City area and this podcast has helped me feel much more connected to my new community. I love learning about the issues affecting the region and the many amazing people that contribute to this community. 10/10 thank you so much for your amazing reporting!

Too many of the stories are fluff. What are some of the highlights on with the next budget being entertained by the KC City Council in March? Why doesn’t Jackson County prosecute violent criminals? What’s the deal with the increasing number of homeless people in KC and what’s the impact on the taxpaying citizenry? These are a few of the questions specific to Kansas City that you could be trying to answer. These questions, and many more, if answered, could give Kansas Citians the kind of information they need to be more active/effective in local government. Unfortunately, it seems like this podcast focuses too broadly, and sometimes on completely inconsequential nonsense. For instance, I personally do not care about Taylor Swift or a Johnson County lady’s struggles with bee keeping. Instead, please tell me what’s going on with things like the increasing number of people getting killed in Kansas City by fentanyl or bullets, and what are city officials doing about it? Citizens are supposed to vote. Without good sources of information, how can our vote be an informed one? This podcast could help fill that need, but it often misses the opportunity.

Forget the sensationalistic, commercial TV news, this is my new go-to for KC, Missouri, and Kansas news. Professional, concise but in depth with the occasional human interest story but no “fluff,”, this is the place to start for local news. I pair this with NPR’s Up First podcast and am up to speed on the news before so finish my morning commute. Five stars.

I learned a lot from this show. The host is very knowledgeable and has a sweet voice. Very pleasant!

I listen to NPR mainly through my podcast app now, and while I listen to national broadcasting such as, Up First, I was missing out on some local news. I’m glad I found this bc it covers a lot of ground without being overly long. Just what I needed to add to my daily rotation.

The only thing I don’t like about KCT is that it’s only Monday-Friday because my mornings aren’t the same with out it! (But I’m glad the crew is getting a break, they deserve it!)

I listen this podcast every day while taking my daily walk.

Willfully engaging in the pleasurable process of child making followed by child killing to avoid the inconvenience of sustaining and then supporting that person is what this podcast promotes. It’s literally not a pregnancy if there isn’t a second living body.

I listen to this podcast whenever I’m on a road trip and it’s always so good

Well edited, well rounded, just a great look at Kansas City current events.

I love knowing what’s going on in KC, this podcast is *chefs kiss*

This is the exact right length, very entertaining and informative!
