Rachel Hayes; Ft. Leavenworth Gifts; Isaac Cates

Last month, at Milan Fashion Week, the models at the Missoni show walked the runway under a colorful fabric canopy that was created by a Blue Springs native. We chat with artist Rachel Hayes about her fabric sculptures.

Then: Since 1894, military officers from around the world have studied at Ft. Leavenworth's Command and General Staff College. Upon graduation, many of them have presented the college with gifts from their home countries, resulting in a 4000-piece collection. Two curators from a Kansas City art gallery talk about cataloging and displaying this art to the public.

Plus, the story behind the song, "Hold On," by Isaac Cates & Ordained.

Guests:

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.
