One of a multiple-part series on KMBZ I did on distracted driving... this piece focused on the dangers of driving while drowsy. Note: These pieces aired as part of a special hour on KMBZ. This piece includes Sgt. Rick Fletcher... who is named as "Sgt. Fletcher" in the piece. His full name was in the lead-in so it was familiar to listeners.

5 pieces, which fade out after each. Other reporter voices in each piece also fade out. In order:

1. KMBZ-AM Newscast from Feb. 2011

3. One part of a multi-part series on distracted driving, highlighting a ridealong I did with Sgt. Rick Fletcher of the Missouri State Police

Every year, KMBZ leads a "Coats for Kids" campaign, with a goal of collecting coats for 4 local school districts. I did an 8-part news series to take an in-depth-look at the people involved in the campaign. This piece focuses on the need for coats in the community.

Election coverage on WJBC

A wrap I did with reaction to the disappearance and murder of Keighley Alyea, a suburban Kansas City teenager. She was found beaten and stabbed to death. 

Story: Keighley Alyea reaction

A wrap I did when private, negative comments made by Gloria Squitiro, the Kansas City mayor's wife, became public. The story came not long after the city council had passed a "volunteer ordinance" that essentially forced Squitiro to stop working in her husband's office - something that had caused tension at city hall.
