Guests:

  • Kerry Steuart, served in the Air Force during Operation Desert Storm
  • David Strange, retired Army officer, served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom
  • Jacob Crowder, served in the Army Infantry in Kunar Province and Sadr City in Iraq

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.
