  • KC Closeup: Matt Besler book / Julia Luetje Dreamvention contest 11/05/2017

    On today's show: Sporting KC defender Matt Besler has always played for his hometown team. Last year, while recovering from an injury, Besler put pen to paper and wrote a book called No Other Home: Living, Leading, and Learning What Matters Most. It comes out November 7th wherever books are sold. We talk with Matt about writing the book, the disappointing end to the MLS season, and what's to come for him and his family. Julia Luetje is a 10 year old with a bright future. Julia came up with the idea for the "Storm Sleeper" - a pillow that provides a cover for the head and a bluetooth speaker to drown out the sound of storms. Julia entered Frito-Lay's Dreamvention Competition along with 13,000 other kids across the U.S. However, Julia's Storm Sleeper got her selected as one of the five finalists for the $250,000 grand prize. Julia came by to tell us about her other inventions, coming up with the Storm Sleeper and what lies ahead.

  • SHOWcast Special: Halloween Paranormal Investigation 2017

    For Halloween this year we got a special treat at #TheShowKC. we invited PRI, a paranormal investigation team, to come check out our building in Westport. Strange stories have surrounded our digs for a long time. People who have worked in radio for years have talked about mysterious figures, strange sounds, voices and other phenomenon. Our own Shaylee has heard the sounds of a distant typewriter, an appliance not found in ours - or any - office for eons. And now, our Halloween treat to you: some spooky stories and our first ghost investigation. Happy Halloween from The Show!

  • Jen Is A Ghost!; #Blessed; SHOWcast 10/20/2017

    Is Jen a ghost? That's the big question posed from today's #TheShowKC. As we try to push thoughts of the previous night's Chiefs game out of our heads, let's ponder things like: why is there a bagel that costs $1,000? Should a guy still ask permission from a woman's dad before he asks her to marry him? Truta finally makes it in to the show and we get to #Blessed for a Friday. Cinetopia helps us preview the big movies coming out this weekend. Finally we get to Jen's scary story. Is there a time warp right here in Westport? Could we be in one of the gates to Hell? Listen and decide...have a great weekend!

  • Marc Summers (Double Dare/Unwrapped); Google Predicts: SHOWcast 10/19/2017

    From #TheShowKC on Thursday: Jen broke her mic in a hulk fit of rage...just kidding, our studio is crap and the arm broke. Worlds of Fun is getting rid of the Finnish Fling -- that ride where you spin in a big barrel and the floor drops out underneath you. That made us reminisce about our favorite WOF rides of the past: the Orient Express, the Zambizi Zinger. A new phone scam demands $2,000 from people in order to prevent a woman's fingers from being "dismembered." Jen says she would let them cut the girl's fingers off since she doesn't have two grand to hand over. People suck when they don't use their turn signal, this is what we discovered in Jen's Impossible Question. Billy Joel is going to be a father again - at age 68! The cast debates their Halloween costume. Killer clowns are trying to grab people in Florida (of course), but a kid defended himself from the clown with a selfie stick. Truta wants to invent a selfie stick that can double as a weapon. A college girl "contaminated" her roommate's water bottle with h20 from the toilet. Ugh!! Watch your cups. We chat with the host of one our favorite childhood shows: Double Dare! Marc Summers has a new documentary being made about his life called "On Your Marc" and called in to talk about the documentary, his battle with OCD and give us some behind the scenes scoopon Double Dare and Unwrapped. Hear our full chat on the SHOWcast! A new (old) judge has been announced for The Voice. It is now time to make Steve Irwin jokes. Well, not really, but how long is "too soon?" We look forward to the Chiefs on Thursday night football against the Raiders tonight. Truta pulls out the Google machine for another round of Google Predicts. Why do radio stations' call letters begin with K and W? Who knows? Who cares? We ask the tough questions on The Show. See you tomorrow!
