The Nelson-Atkins' Expansion Plans, Thomas Friedman On Foreign Policy, And The Weekend To-Do List

First, we look at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art's latest plans for expansion that's raising a few questions with some of its neighbors. Then, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman speaks about the new divide in foreign affairs and his latest book, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations. Also, Brian McTavish presents the Weekend To-Do List.

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.
