KCUR – Central Standard Portrait Session: Dr. Mark Bedell

For Mark Bedell, school was a safe haven. “It gave me an opportunity to be a kid because I had to be an adult a lot sooner than most kids should have to be an adult,” he told guest host Brian Ellison on Central Standard. Last month, Bedell started as superintendent of the Kansas City Public Schools. While his job involves dealing with budgets and contracts, navigating his way through local and state politics and more, he also hopes to inspire people with his personal story. Bedell grew up in Rochester, New York, the eldest of eight kids and the only one to make it past the ninth...

KCUR – Central Standard Portrait Session: Chuck Magerl

Chuck Magerl grew up surrounded by family history. During Prohibition, his grandfather was sent to Leavenworth Penitentiary for distributing alcohol. One great-great grandfather was the sheriff of Jackson County, Missouri --  in 1869, the governor of Missouri sent a letter, authorizing him to capture Frank and Jesse James, dead or alive. Another ancestor ran a saloon in Kansas City; a ledger book shows he paid $7 per barrel of beer in 1909. And, Magerl has made history of his own. He was a pioneer in the local craft beer and artisan food movements, long before those were really...

KCUR Portrait Session: Paul Stephen Lim

I had to opportunity of meeting playwright Paul Stephen Lim at his home in Lawrence for a quick photo essay in conjunction with his interview with KCUR's Central Standard this past week. You can listen to the interview in its entirety  HERE In 1975, Paul Stephen Lim was struggling to write a short story. One night, at a party, he was chatting with a theater professor about his writing problem. “Maybe it doesn’t want to be a short story,” the professor suggested. “Maybe it wants to be a play.” And, with that advice, Lim forged a new path. He turned that short story...

KCUR Central Standard Portrait Sessions: Krystle Warren

Krystle Warren's "To the Middle" is a song that sounds a little like a carnival ride, but it's actually her love song to Kansas City. Written when she lived in New York, the lyrics express a deep longing for the mainstays of her hometown: toothy smiles, tree-lined avenues and Gates barbecue. In the chorus, the chanteuse demands to know, over and over, Why you wanna go away, Why you wanna go away, again "I missed my hometown and it felt like Kansas City was kind of scolding me for leaving." But if anything, the singer-songwriter's only gotten further from home. Krystle Warren's...
