Seg. 1: Snow Days. Seg. 2: Passion For Deaning.

Segment 1: Fallout from a snowstorm. 

From a missing snow-person to more serious issues like coping with school closures from one district to another, Kansas Citians have stories about this crazy snowfall. Plus, KCP&L explains why some people's power comes on faster than others after widespread outages.

  • Angela DeWilde, Start at Zero
  • Andre M. Perry, The Brookings Institution, author of The Route School Buses Take to Equality
  • Taylor Fourt, Hyde Park resident who made (and lost) a 7-foot snow-woman 
  • Gina Penzig, Kansas City Power & Light


Segment 2, beginning at 23:43: A Haskell dean on borderless classrooms and "unapologetic tribalism." 

Julia Good Fox, a member of the Pawnee Nation, describes how she landed at Haskell, why it felt like home, and how that informs her passion for both deaning at the school and tweeting about it. This segment originally aired in March, 2018.

Coy began his radio career in 2016, after a close friend suggested that he should take an internship with KCUR over a similar offer from a local TV station. His pal's sage reasoning? Because Coy has "a voice for radio. And a face to match.” A producer, announcer, and all-around audiophile, Coy's favorite talk shows and news stories are the ones that explore the rich culture of Kansas City, the town he was raised in. Coy is also a fan of digital painting due to a deep-rooted aversion for paint stains. He lives on Kansas City's east side and knows how to properly pronounce "Sni-A-Bar" a feat few Kansas Citians can boast.
