Jan Stenerud: From Ski Jumps to Super Bowls

“There’s just something about Kansas City.”™ It may be the most-heard phrase from those who are from here, those who have come here, &amp; those who have chosen to stay. It’s a sense of pride, of camaraderie, of community and comfort. A sense of small-town, back-patio warmth brimming with growth, innovation and potential. A sense of zero degrees of separation in a city of champions.

For each of us, that “something” is a story crafted through years of experiences, big and small, that have planted the Heart of America so deeply in our own.

Join legendary Kansas City sports broadcaster Frank Boal each week for deep, down-to-earth conversations with some of this town’s most legendary residents, both natives and transplants, and hear what it is about Kansas City that just keeps calling them home.
