paris climate, KC Mayor's annual address, ag, KC transportation

[Dave]

10 am Sunday Forums.  Rerun (and archived) on KKFI radio and online.
Come see why KC’s longest running conversation is nearing celebrating its 75^th Ann.

Before media markets fractured in countless outlets where people can twitter or facelessly comment online (often only in avenues with people they agree with or never really engage for real change-making), a place was nurtured where people could still look each other in the eye and try to make sense of it all.
