Our Football is Fantasy

For football fanatics or folks who know little of the game but just enjoy a good story, this podcast takes you on a journey with the “Gentleman Bastards,” an over-the-top fantasy football league that’s brought joy (and agony) to the lives of a group of Wichitans for the last decade.

Swimming Against the Tide

Wichita Republicans could count on Bob Weeks to stand up for small government principles during the Obama administration. They still can count on him to do the same during the Trump administration. But the reaction to his activism has changed. “I try to reason things through and try to be as consistent as I can and base my economic analysis on statistics, but Republicans are just throwing that out the window today, Anything that supports Trump they’ll believe and anything that doesn’t – no matter how reasoned it is, no matter where the data comes from – they won’t,” Weeks said. The economy is a particular point of contention amongst Weeks’ local Republican critics.

Carnival Season, In Remembrance

Taken in 2014 at Arkalalah in Arkansas City, Kansas. Arkalahlah is usually around the end of October near Halloween, and is one of, if not the last stop on the carnival circuit for the season. This was a long exposure shot that lasted about half a second of the carousel.
The 2014 Neewollah festival in Independence, Kansas (Neewollah is “Halloween” spelled backwards). A young man with a “free hugs” sign on his back delivers his “service” to a group of clowns handing out free balloons. A traveling carnival in Winfield at the Cowley County Fair in August of 2015. While sitting on a bench, I was surprised to see a teenager wearing a double-breasted black suit in the heat. Such style deserved a photo. The Brick Street Festival in Augusta in 2016. A couple watches their grandkids enjoy the carousel.
