Part of being a journalist is having access to databases that can help you find anything — including a letter to the editor you apparently wrote at age 7.
My mom claims I asked her how to "theoretically" write @wausauherald and next thing she knew, this had been published.

“It’s the closest you can get to being on the ocean in the Midwest."
The Lake of the Ozarks is one of the most unusual places, in Missouri or really anywhere. @KCUR's podcast A People's History of Kansas City dives deep into its controversial creation. kcur.org/history/2023-07-27/…

If I'm honest, I still feel this way. And I would love an update on the current state of trick-or-treating in Wausau, Mayor @katierosenberg. I await your response.
Major props to @savannahhawley for this deeply-reported #kchistory story. ❤️
The Neck was the biggest Black neighborhood in Independence, and was largely self sustaining. It was settled in the late 1800s and lived in by families for generations.
By 1969 nearly every house was demolished 🧵

I spent my hour long commute to and from high school listening to @ThisAmerLife. It's how I fell in love with journalism.
Fast forward to now. Hearing my reporting and Renee's story on the show was...simply surreal.

It's almost impossible to not know Wish-Bone Italian Dressing, the ubiquitous bottle in every supermarket in the country.
What few people know is that this dressing was created by one family. In one restaurant. In Kansas City.

I pour my heart into a fashion podcast called Articles Of Interest.
This season is a multi part documentary about preppy clothing- from Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren and I promise- it's really fascinating.

ICYMI: We've been busy making a new podcast with @kcur's @peggyllowe.
It's about a Kansas City, Kansas, police detective accused of terrorizing residents for decades — all while his department looked the other way.
We really hope you'll listen. loom.ly/yHQvxqw

Hey, a little public service announcement from KCUR. If you're thinking about sending an unsolicited message to one of our employees – hosts, producers, reporters, anyone – in order to:
- criticize their voice
- talk about their appearance
- ask them on a date
instead, don't.
