About this listen
If you’ve spent any time listening to Kansas City radio since the 1980s, you already know the voices, and the names, Mike Kennedy and Nycki Pace.
In this episode of There’s Just Something About Kansas City, we sit down with two true KC radio icons who lived, shaped, and survived the Golden Age of radio. Nycki made her mark behind the microphone, becoming one of the most recognizable voices on the Kansas City airwaves, while Mike helped steer stations and formats from the programming side during some of the most competitive and transformative years in local radio history.
Together, they share what it was really like inside the studios during the era of format wars, shifting audiences, and rapid changes in how people consumed music and media. We talk about radio then and now — what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what still matters most when it comes to connecting with listeners.
Along the way, Nycki and Mike weave in unforgettable stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and reflections on why Kansas City radio has always been something special.
🎧 A must-listen for media lovers, longtime KC radio fans, and anyone curious about how the airwaves helped shape the city.
