Digging deeper into Manhattan and regional community conversations, business and societal trends, policy ideas from every level of government, with a particular emphasis on reason and common sense.
We strongly believe the key to today’s societal ills are members of society who think longer, deeper, and more critically. Journalism is the one constant to allow that, and it’s our belief this new talk show can help work toward that goal in our community.
Community service in a way that says it out loud without being self-serving. This talk show is deeper than “news,” It is an interview and discussion vehicle designed specifically to arm listeners with truth and broaden their horizons on subject matter important to their family, to Manhattan, the region, and Kansas.
It’s not gotcha or confrontational, it’s the gaining of new knowledge and motivation. It’s “help us understand.” It’s the middle of the broad thought road, where the overwhelming majority of people in this community live – politically and emotionally. It’s logic and common sense. The show is not over-reaction or under-reaction. It’s reaction.
Guests will come from the public and private sector, non-profits, government at every level (elected and appointed), individuals involved with community growth, expectations of public schools, community quality of life.
The show is rational, authentic, and genuine. It’s not bombast, but there is just enough show biz and pizzazz to make it appealing, set it apart and gain a following.
Broadcast live on NewsRadio KMAN (1350 AM, 93.3 and 93.7 FM), livestreamed on YouTube and recorded and made available as a podcast on the KMAN website and anywhere podcasts are available.
