is this bad?
Pop Culture Happy Hour is my Morning Podcast Friend and it’s how I start my day on a positive note, every day, for more than a decade. Its continued existence is a gift.
You can tell this was a Big Budget Rom Com because of how unsubtle and overly serious those music cues are.
You’re telling me this is set in London with mopey sadsack High Grant and yet he’s not constantly listening to like The Smiths or The Cure ??
We watched Notting Hill (with a charming bumbling Hugh Grant and an otherworldly Julia Roberts) last night for the first time, and are many things to still love about the film
but boy that soundtrack has aged like milk
Some big news happening for public media in Missouri.
It's important reporting like this story that makes this job worth it.
Nice thing about having a cat who’s more than happy to stay indoors
It’s a real blizzard out there, Kansas City. Hope everyone is staying safe.
Here’s our latest story. We’ll update with more information as it comes out.
The blizzard has hit Kansas City, and I can’t see further than a hundred feet out my window. Hearing that wind and the occasional thunder is quite a trick too.
It’s no joke — don’t be driving if you don’t absolutely need to.
It’s there! Great tune.
Ann Telnaes, who has worked at The Washington Post as an editorial cartoonist since 2008, says her cartoon criticizing billions currying favor with Trump was spiked — and now she has quit the paper
Hey Kansas City Bluesky - we want your suggestions!
Our Adventure newsletter wants to explore more places outside of KCMO, because we know there's so much cool stuff around.
So what are your favorite "hidden gems" of the Kansas City suburbs?
With this snowstorm approaching it’s time to revisit one of my favorite playlists — mostly compiled from y’all’s suggestions!
What songs am I missing?
HEAR YE HEAR YE
It’s a very special episode of Kansas City Today for the last day of 2024!
We had our brilliant intern Olivia Hewitt go around the KCUR newsroom and ask editors, producers and reporters what story they can’t stop thinking about from this year.
A real Friday news dump from Missouri’s outgoing governor.
My latest for @thebeacon.bsky.social about the home demolitions in the Valentine neighborhood.
In 1909, there were 80 homes and businesses on a four-block area of this neighborhood. All but eight of them have been demolished as of last month. thebeaconnews.org/stories/2024...
Finished watching Man on the Inside last night, cried three times in the last two episodes
10/10 so glad there’s a second season already greenlit
Happy Friday, here are some photos of my cat, Chef Crouton
We know it can be hard to trust what you see on the internet.
So we are curating a Bluesky list of Missouri, Kansas and Kansas City news sources and journalists that we trust and rely on — from KCUR, our partners and collaborators, and more.
We'll keep updating this list as more orgs join.

Please don’t make me eat more wafers
On air for the @kcurkansascity.bsky.social winter membership drive. If I don’t make enough money they may force me to eat these disgusting eggnog wafers 🙏

poached an egg tonight so I’m basically unbeatable
tragically got to the gym just to find that my wireless headphones were out of battery
what am I supposed to do, exercise like it’s the 17th century or something?
just ate banana laffy taffy for the first time in 15 years
this stuff is a miracle of modern science
On my new streaming service, I will offer Editor’s Cuts of every overbloated series so that hour and 40 minute long drama episodes are back down to a brisk 60 minutes
and also we just take out every torture scene because they’re all unnecessary
