Remembrances, Tributes, and Worthy Causes
Another wide-ranging visit with esteemed music writer Timothy Finn covers the brilliance of the late Eddie Van Halen, accolades and new material coinciding with Tom Petty’s birthdays, films highlighting David Byrne and Herb Alpert, and current musicians and comedians working to help out the arts. That, and much more, with The Beach Boys, John Fogerty, Jason Sudekis and others in the mix.
Ground and Pound Finds an Unusual Home
The Chiefs go old school in taking the down the Buffalo Bills to bounce back to their usual winning ways. In the college ranks, Missouri’s schedule continues to be a jumble, and the Sunflower Showdown (?) comes this week.
Ringing the Bell, and Judging the Moves
The always lively banter session deals with the Chiefs piling up the riches further with the signing of Leveon Bell, baseball’s post season produces puzzling moves, and college football continues to face challenges. Enjoyable and provocative as ever.
Just Like a Horse and Carriage
The couple banter session dives into the institution of marriage, including their own, but far from limited to it. The influences of their parents marriages, media portrayals, and the vagaries of life forming their opinions, and how they have carried it into their own lives.
Stunners of Various Varieties
It had all the look of one of those all smiles weekends locally. Kansas State continued to find tough and creative ways to win. Mizzou pulled off a stunner with a stunning conclusion. But then the Las Vegas spoiled the party with the NFL’s biggest upset of the season over the Chiefs. Find out why and how.
On and Off the Field and All Over the Lot

Step by Step to the Top of the Rock
Raised in rural south central Kansas, Todd has always had an affinity for the land.

Tributes, Endorsements, and Reasons For Hope
We lost some important music figures recently local and national, and trying to balance some good news with the music industry gloom is difficult but not impossible. Tributes to Steve Phillips and Mac Davis, and interesting conversation focuses on Roger Daltrey, The War on Drugs, Stairway to Heaven, Julia Othmer, Austin Texas, George Jones,, and much more.
Grading on a Scale
The football weekend turned more fascinating when the Patriots unexpectedly had something for the Chiefs. A great breakdown of strategies to slow down Patrick Mahomes and his crew…but not beat them, of course. And college football in the area is working at mighty different levels.
