Segment 1: Why former college athletes care that future college athletes might financially benefit from their name and image.

Many think statements by the NCAA are a step forward since student athletes bring in millions for their respective universities, but others say it's not enough of a step.

  • Michael Watson, former college basketball player, University of Missouri-Kansas City
  • Carrie Fry Robinson, former college soccer player, Indiana University
  • Patrick Hruby, journalist who covers athletes' rights and college sports, Washington D.C.

Segment 2, beginning at 35:32: Why certain foods are almost impossible to stop eating once you start.

A new KU study is taking the first step in understanding what makes certain foods trigger brain-reward centers and nullify the areas that usually tell us to stop eating.

  • Dr. Tera Fazzino, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Kansas

Whether it’s something happening right now or something that happened 100 years ago, some stories don’t fit in the short few minutes of a newscast. As a podcast producer and reporter at KCUR Studios, I help investigate questions and local curiosities in a way that brings listeners along for adventures with plot twists and thought-provoking ideas. Sometimes there isn’t an easy answer in the end – but my hope is that we all leave with a greater understanding of the city we live in. Reach me at mackenzie@kcur.org.

As KCUR's health reporter, I cover the Kansas City metro in a way that reflects our expanding understanding of what health means and the ways it touches different communities and different areas in distinct ways. I will provide a platform to amplify ideas and issues often underrepresented in the media and marginalized people and communities in an authentic and honest way that goes beyond the surface of the issues. I will endeavor to find and include in my work local experts and organizations that have their ears to the ground and a beat on the health needs of the community. Reach me at noahtaborda@kcur.org.
