Seg. 1: Sustainable Seafood | Seg. 2: Bat Man

Segment 1: A Kansas City restaurant teams up with a New Orleans chef on a popup event.

Ryan Prewitt is a James Beard Award winning chef at Peche in New Orleans, known for its focus on sustainability in seafood. When he comes to Kansas City to collaborate with Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar, he'll be spreading a message of consuming ocean species responsibly. 

Segment 2: A bat expert tells all.

John Harmer is a naturalist specializing in wildlife rehabilitation. But of all the animals he nurses back to health, bats are the only ones he lets inside his house. He teaches us everything we need to know about bats to enjoy their presence safely. Note: this conversation includes an extensive discussion of bat poop.

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.
