This month marks the fifth anniversary of the "demotion" of Pluto from our solar system. On this week's KPR Presents, Pluto: from its 1930 discovery by Kansan Clyde Tombaugh to its 2006 declassification by the International Astronomical Union. This week's show also features humorous songs, essays, and a comedy sketch about Pluto from the Right Between the Ears archives.

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.
