Mike Mahoney and Dave Helling have a combined 104 years of experience in both local and national political coverage here in Kansas City. For about a third of our city's existence, these two have been “chasing mayors and council members around with microphones and notepads." We’ll never see local politics covered like this again.

Hear the behind-the-scenes stories of some of the biggest political events and campaigns of the past half a century from these two rival journalists who have developed a mutual respect and a friendship that has endured to this day. From local elections to presidential conventions with a little sports and humor sprinkled in, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes with two of our best to ever do it in KC.
