With the heat of summer upon us, it's a great time to visit local museums. We'll go to the Watkins Community Museum of History in downtown Lawrence and look at a traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit on American roots music. We'll also talk to Marc Wilson, director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, as the new Bloch Building celebrates its first anniversary.
Kaye starts her weekends the same way you do: with Weekend Edition, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, This American Life, and The Moth Radio Hour. She started at Kansas Public Radio in 2001; in 2006, she became the producer of our weekly public affairs program, KPR Presents, which changed its name in 2025 to Prairie Journal. In her spare time, she loves to read, travel, and attend theater.
