The University of Kansas lost one of its best broadcast engineers this summer. Bruce Mensie, the retired transmitter engineer for Kansas Public Radio (KANU) and the Kansas Audio-Reader Network, died June 30 after a battle with cancer. KPR's Kaye McIntyre spoke to a couple of his colleagues at KU. Steve Kincaid is the director of engineering for KPR and Audio-Reader. Jason Slote is a recording engineer and the station's production manager. Both men worked with Bruce for decades. 


That's KPR's Kaye McIntyre, speaking with KPR engineers Steve Kincaid and Jason Slote about their longtime colleague Bruce Mensie, who died June 30. Mensie retired from KU in 2015 but spent the past several years working as a volunteer for both KPR and Audio-Reader.
