No matter how big a Royals fan you are, if you’re somewhere else, you aren’t experiencing Kansas City right now. That’s got to be bittersweet for people who have spent years of their lives here, but who, for whatever reason, aren’t living here now.

Guests:

Lorenzo Butler, former Kansas Citian and director of public relations, Sacramento Kings
Sara Lerner, former Kansas Citian and reporter/afternoon anchor, KUOW in Seattle

People 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.
