We are back with another exciting episode featuring Wichita's own S.J. Crespo. S.J. has accomplished several things in her career working in the public and nonprofit space, and most of it (really all of it) has been to advance the city of Wichita and the state of Kansas. She is usually busy working for Kansas Health Foundation (and previously KMUW) and hosting a show where locals can have real discussions: https://storycorps.org/discover/onesmallstep/wichita/

But she also wrote a children's book! The Sloth Moth hits stores and the internet TODAY so go get yourself a copy! We've read it - it's great. 

S.J. will be hosting events for The Sloth Moth and here is the anticipated schedule:

• Storytime reading at the PBS CEDC on April 2nd, 10:30 a.m. (https://www.kpts.org/family/CEDC/)
• Storytime reading at Red Fern Booksellers in Salina on April 5th at 10:30 am. (https://redfernbooksellers.com/)
• Storytime reading at Lily Lake Kansas (Augusta, KS) on April 10th, 10 a.m. (go check out the episode we did with them!)
• Storytime reading at The Dusty Bookshelf (Manhattan, KS) on April 12th, 10 a.m.
• Storytime at Watermark Books & Cafe on April 19th, 10:00 a.m.

We are BACK with another brand new series we thought we'd try out. The 316 Series is going to be a project where we speak with local historians from the towns that make up the Greater Wichita and the 316 area. We want to hear the history, tales, and stories about how these cities were founded and what brought them to how they are today. 

Our first episode is with the Mayor of Derby and one of its local historians. This tale of two cities was quite the treat to get us started and even the Mayor was learning stories about his own backyard! 

If you have a suggestion for a city we should talk to and/or know someone who would talk to us - let us know!

We ventured out west again to meet with the team at Tanganyika so that they could talk about their upcoming future plans for the park. There has been some online backlash due to some of these announcements, and so the team wanted an opportunity to explain their side of the situation and get us all very excited for what is coming soon. 

Whether you agree with some of the changes or not, it appears that Tanganyika is doing all it can to position itself as a unique experience not just in Kansas but in all of America. This could be a great destination for tourists from all over to come check out. Only in Kansas!
