Seg. 1: UMKC Enactus | Seg. 2: Dan Wayne & Big Fur

Segment 1: Hacking Hunger

A group of UMKC students is working to redirect food waste so it can feed hungry Kansas Citians. Their approach has earned them global recognition as entrepreneurs. 

  • Andrea Savage, Enactus member & project member of FeedKC

Segment 2, beginning at 19:03: Taxidermy On Film

"Big Fur" takes us into the world of champion taxidermist Ken Walker: his life, his craft, and his years-long quest to make Big Foot.

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.
