Audience EditorAs KCUR’s Audience Editor, I‘m always asking: What do our communities need to know, and how can KCUR best deliver that? I help figure out how our journalism lives online, so we can serve more people, build trust with our communities, and amplify joy.
You'll find me overseeing KCUR's website and social media, among other things. I also edit the KCUR podcasts Kansas City Today, A People's History of Kansas City and Hungry For MO and serve as digital editor for Overlooked, Seeking A Scientist and Up From Dust.
I'm a Pittsburgh native and previously worked as Digital News Editor at WOSU Public Media in Columbus, Ohio. Contact me at gabe@kcur.org or on Twitter @gabrieljr.

Many World Cup ticket holders felt deceived this month when FIFA assigned precise seat numbers to their already-purchased tickets. At the same time, FIFA hiked ticket prices for nearly every game — including an 87% increase for Kansas City's Argentina vs. Algeria match. -
For World Cup ticket holders, Kansas City will run $15 shuttles to the stadium on game days. That’s significantly cheaper than the $100 buses and trains in East Coast host cities. A new bus route between downtown and the airport will remain free. -

If “hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup” were a sport in and of itself, these past few months have shown that perhaps Kansas City wants this more than other cities. Plus: Federal funding woes and other issues facing the tournament with 100 days to go. -
Even though there are six World Cup games in Kansas City, you can’t simply buy tickets. That would be too easy. And if you weren't randomly selected in FIFA's most recent lottery, you'll have to wait several more months — unless you try your luck in the resale marketplace. -
Kansas City will be the center of the world this summer. Subscribe to our new Soccer City '26 email for biweekly updates about how the region is handling the largest event in our history. -
Two more teams can still make their home in and around Kansas City for the upcoming tournament, with training sites in Lawrence and Riverside still available. -
It turns out that disassembling, moving and then reassembling two whole radio stations in a month's time is no small feat. Still, with enough expert hands helping every step of the way, KCUR is getting through it, one bite at a time. Here's an inside look at the process so far. -
Native freshwater mussels do important work filtering the water in Midwest rivers. These animals are in trouble, but Kansas has a plan to help them. Plus: We'll hear from farmers around the central U.S. about what made this such a tough year, and what may come in 2026.
