How Small Businesses Are Increasing Their Digital Presences

The Strawberry Swing Indie Craft Fair

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Michelle is a reporter covering race, identity and culture and is an assistant talk show producer.
As senior podcast producer for KCUR Studios and a host of A People’s History of Kansas City, I interview everyday people and dig through old newspaper articles to unearth stories of the visionaries and renegades who created this region. I focus on bringing the past to life, so we can all better understand the city we live in today. Email me at mackenzie@kcur.org.
No matter what happens in Washington D.C., Kansas City needs KCUR. And KCUR needs you.
