Gina Kaufmann
Writer, Producer and Host, Real Humans By Gina KaufmannPeople don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
I am the host of Real Humans By Gina Kaufmann. You can reach me on Twitter @GinaKCUR or email me at gina@kcur.org.
