Kansas City didn’t begin with skyscrapers, it began with a river. In our debut episode, host JJ Sanchez sits down with Jon Stephens, President & CEO of Port KC, to uncover how a trading post at the crossroads of a continent became one of America’s great cities.
From the original limestone docks still visible on the shoreline, to wagon trail ruts you can see from satellite, to the immigrant neighborhoods behind KC’s jazz, barbecue, and famous kindness, this is the story of how Kansas City was built, and where it’s headed next.
New episodes with the contractors, architects, developers, and leaders shaping Kansas City… brick by brick.
