Audiofiles: A Podcast Review

As KCUR gears up for a Podcast Party, the Audiofiles recommend a history series that digs into strange stories from the past culled from small town newspapers, a bunch of comedians making fun of bad movies, politicians in the laid-back podcast format accidentally confessing to being robots, and more.

Guests:

  • Beckett Graham, creator and co-host, History Chicks podcast
  • Loey Lockerby, freelance media critic
  • Jeremy Bernfeld, editor, Harvest Public Media, convener and host, KCUR's Podcast Party
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.
