Seg. 1: Always Be My Maybe | Seg. 2: Morel Mania

Segment 1: The rom-com everyone's talking about gets the Screentime treatment.

Always Be My Maybe is the next generation's Asian-American movie. Hear why.

  • Anthony Sze-Fai Shu, associate professor of English, UMKC
  • Tony Vinh, standup comic from Kansas City
  • Loey Lockerby, freelance film critic
  • Celisa Calacal, associate producer, Central Standard

Segment 2: Morel mushrooms find their way onto drink and dessert menus.

It's the final frontier for a culinary cult favorite. Hear the stories behind a new morel beer from Crane Brewing and a new morel ice cream from Betty Rae's Ice Cream.

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.
