We got to submit 5 episodes to the contest, so here they are. "The Legend of Doc Annie" is a ghost story from the Missouri Bootheel that has real-life roots. It was produced by @jamieahobbs https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/689371502/
Another was "The Gay Purge," the story of the effort at the University of Missouri in the 1940s and 50s to root out and expel gay students, produced by @madison_conte : https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/765531158/
"The Lost Disney Park" is the story of the park Walt Disney tried to build in his hometown of Marceline, MO, produced by @NoahTaborda https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/763201168/
"Missourah, or Missouree: Who's Right," tried to answer the unanswerable question, produced by @betsys_tweets https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/697664194/
And finally, maybe the most crowd-pleasing episode we've done so far, "Jim the Wonder Dog," produced by @JiayiShi0406 https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/706540830/
If you haven't listened yet, check out all the episodes here (or just find the podcasts where you do that). Every story helps you understand Missouri just a little more. And stay tuned, we have a new batch of episodes coming out in the next few months: https://casts.kbia.fm/show-me/
