ScreenTime: House Of Cards

House of Cards is one of those shows that you can’t watch without discussing. It’s so dark, so addictive and so dramatic. Plus, the worldview it establishes ties into real world issues and dynamics in a way that makes you wonder, what if this is kind of maybe a little bit accurate?We invite a politician, a media critic and a Congressional reporter to give their reviews of House of Cards.

Guests:

  • Russ Simmons, resident movie critic
  • Juana Summers, congressional reporter, NPR (and Kansas City native)
  • Jeremy LaFaver, Missouri state representative, District 25

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.
