Seg. 1: Genealogy Stories | Seg. 2: My Fellow Kansans

Segment 1: A genealogist tells us how she finds the stories behind our ancestry. 

You might think researching your ancestry is just about building your family tree. Ahead of a presentation this Friday, a researcher for PBS' "Finding Your Roots" and NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" says you can find out a lot more if you keep digging.

Segment 2: Episode 2, Season 2, My Fellow Kansans.

We continue sharing weekly installments of this podcast from the Kansas News Service. In this episode, could the emerging trend of hemp farms be the future for rural Kansas?

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.
