Linda Sher

Midday Announcer

Linda grew up in Prairie Village and was drawn to a career in radio, after her dreams of becoming the next American Idol were dashed. While completing her Master's Degree in Communication Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Linda's first big break in journalism was the Afternoon Drive Announcer position at KCUR.  She was the Nurse Practitioner for UMKC, and has also worked as a professional actor in musical theater.  One of her news stories for Up To Date was picked up by the Chicago Tribune. Linda loves dogs, hiking, coloring, movies, and going to the Kansas City Symphony.  And...some say her home-made baked goods are mighty tasty!
