Commentaries

KPR airs commentaries, essays and sometimes book and movie reviews from a bevy of regular contributors. Some of our regular contributors include Rex Buchanan, director emeritus at the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas, energy consultant Scott Carlberg and Bobbie Athon, with the Kansas Historical Society. Other KPR commentators have included William Jennings Bryan Oleander (aka Tom Averill), former Emporia State University professor John "Richard" Schrock and Kansas writer Cheryl Unruh.

    There's something fishy about a new exhibit at the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka. The exhibit tells the story of a time when fish rode the rails. Guest Commentator Adam Hodge has the fascinating tale of fish, trains and someone called the Fish Commissioner. Take a listen.
  • The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has terminated grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which in turn supports Humanities Kansas. Guest Commentator Tai Edwards says those who care about the humanities need to tell members of Congress not to cut federal funding.
