For the Glory KC is back with the 183rd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City made news this week, despite being on their extended World Cup break.

We discuss the proposed Kansas City Royals stadium to be built at Crown Center in partnership with Hallmark. The plan seems to be creating more questions than answers, and as part of our recurring coverage of the stadium, we'll look at the economics of public subsidies for sports venues, as well as whether the city's sales tax revenue projections on the stadium are a home run or a swing-and-a-miss. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio.

   You wish Ryan Levebvre lived next door. You want to know him, trust me.      He is now the broadcaster that Baseball Hall of Famer Denny Mathews always wanted to hand it off to.  All the Royals asked him to do this year is to bring in former players into the booth and coach them up about how insanely hard this biz can be.   Ryan opens up about Rex Hudler's smaller role, the growth of Jermie Guthrie (and his popcorn crush like podboy) and Ryan's new series on the Royals You Tube channel. It starts with an emotional convo with Eric Hosmer about Yordano Ventura and the World Series team.  Watch it on You Tube.    The season is young and John Sherman's new Crown Center ballpark is the greatest gift to KC baseball since Mr. Ewing Kauffman saved our original, favorite pastime sport. Hit the play button and share with your Royals fans friends.  

   It won't be a big story down the road as Crown Center is about to be boom town in KC but it's notable right now that a long vacant piece of land the city has done absolutely nothing with now has a plan.  Just a couple weeks after the Royals announce, and old abandoned lot is going to be home to at least 150 new residents.  This is going to spread like fire.   The Royals completely punt their chance at dealing a blow to Cleveland by dropping the last two games of a four game set.  And...  many of their most loyal and avid fans are livid at a new tv deal they are offering.    We asked for your questions about auto repair and what to look for in used cars and Robbie Brooks from www.robertsrobinson.com is here to answer them.    And another listener has enlisted AI to produce my idea for a country song called Three Beer Lawn and we will play it for you.

Kansas City Manager Mario Vasquez will celebrate one year in office this week as city hall makes its final preparations for the 2026 World Cup. He joined KCUR's Up To Date to discuss next month's tournament and tourism concerns, along with his perspective on the Royals' plans to build a Crown Center ballpark.

It's finally happening!! Part 1 is about the Kansas City city council okaying $600 million to develop Washington Square Park and Crown Center as a ballpark district for the Royals. Part 2 is about the official team announcement that the Royals are, indeed, moving Downtown - to Crown Center! Expect the new ballpark to be open by 2031.

   It was just a dream I had... and it's already gone.  The left won't back down from challenging their pawns to radicalize and try to kill President Trump.  How can this be good for their party?  Surely America sees one party is for violence and death and the other is not.  But not minority speaker Hakeem Jeffries, no, he's doubling down on his "warfare" comments and telling critics to shut up.   Barack Obama could sure help by asking Jeffries and others to cool it down but that isn't going to happen.  Or, Obama could make a powerful statement that this isn't the way to advance the Democrat party.  That won't happen either.  If the dems win in November it appears we can never have Trump and JD Vance in public in the same place at the same time.  Hakeem Jeffries would be president if both were killed at an event like Saturday night.  And don't think the democrats don't dream of that.   Ron DeSantis is jumping into the gerrymander game in Florida to counter Virginia's temporary constitutional amendment. Oh, brother.    In sports, the Royals are only 3.5 games out of first place after a miracle win and sweep of the Angels.   We catch up with Stan Weber to get his thoughts on the Chiefs top draft picks and the new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.  The Red Sox fire 6 coaches in hilarious fashion and the wedding industry is booming.  But now, there is a better reason than ever to NOT spend big on the bride's big day.

Kansas City Council still has a lot of questions and financial details to work out before the new Royals stadium is a done deal. A ballpark at Crown Center brings the team back into the heart of the city — but some community advocates are criticizing the team's continued lack of transparency.

   Well, what do you know?  The Royals have a grand plan after all and will reveal it at a news conference Wednesday.  The plan is to build a new stadium at Crown Center and it involves tearing down a bunch of current buildings.  This is not only a great idea to revitalize an important, historic area of KC, it's going to save tax payers billions it would have cost 10-20 years down the road to rebuild the area with a much worse plan than a baseball team.    The team actually won a game Tuesday night, in the bottom of the 9th, without putting the ball in play.  Crazy.     The ceasefire with Iran has been extended and the US negotiators are still in DC.   Trump and Ron DeSantis may be cooking up a plan for the Florida governor's future that will surprise you.    Virginia dems squeeze one out in a 51-49 vote to change their state from a 6-5 count of congress reps to 10-1.  A current dem in congress quits after getting caught stealing, the UK bans smoking forever and kids sports streaming has become a huge business.

More than three years after announcing the quest for a new home for the Royals, the team unveiled plans for a ballpark in downtown. They'll create an 85-acre stadium district in Kansas City's Crown Center and Washington Square Park.In this special edition of SportsBeat KC, the weekly sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM), columnist Vahe Gregorian shares his thoughts on the Royals' forthcoming new digs.Kauffman Stadium, in its 54th season, has been a popular home for the Royals.

Tod Palmer, of KSHB 41, joined The Drive with the breaking news that the Royals new stadium location is more Crown Center than Washington Square Park.

In the 1950s, approximately 78,000 people lived in Kansas City's midtown neighborhoods, which span roughly Crown Center to the Plaza and State Line Road to Troost Avenue. Two urban design experts will discuss what's changing and what it means for residents Wednesday as a part of KC Design Week.

Nick Haines, Charlie Keegan, Eric Wesson, Brian Ellison and Dave Helling discuss details, questions and concerns related to moving Royals stadium to Washington Square Park, a push for a petition initiative to put stadium to a vote, Royals considering Crown Center purchase for entertainment district, World Cup security and lack of a temporary jail facility, the Kansas legislative session and more.

   The city council voted 11-1 in favor of approving $600 million for the Royals to build a ballpark at Crown Center and the city will now provide a term sheet and start negotiating.  I'm excited this looks like its over and ready to think about what a new ball game experience will be like.  Owner John Sherman says there are two things the new stadium will have even though the architects hate it.    Meanwhile, the team is making steam come out of my ears as they blow all three games in detroit in the 8th or 9th inning.  Thursday was the worst.  In fact, I'll say it.  This was the worst, most hideous way to lose imaginable.  Only the Royals.    Trump was asked about Iran threatening to execute a female protester and he had a one line answer directed at the pope.  You gotta hear this.      The governor of Tennessee has signed a resolution changing June from Pride Month to Nuclear Family Month.  His reasoning could be the best thing you hear this week.    We play a cut from our Patron Podcast with www.dannyclinkscale.com as he tells what he believes the new ballpark village will be like.  Program note... he interviews Christian Okoye on his podcast Friday and I'll bet its great.    And Tiger Woods lawyers are asking the judge in his DUI case if he'll revoke the subpoena for Tiger's prescription records.  I"m pretty sure you know how podboy feels about that

   Mayor Q says the only thing left is a "Chiefs-esque" news conference announcing a new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.  Despite a whole bunch of angry people showing up in opposition, the $600 million from KCMO is about to fly through to approval. The Royals team president was in attendance for the council meeting Tuesday and he calls this a "great project" that will pass.  It's very close to a done deal as we wait to hear what the state of Missouri is kicking in.    Kansas City will be soft on complaining about World Cup gouging and problems we experience for hosting but they aren't holding back in the northeast.  People in New York, Boston and Phildadelpia are going bonkers over transportation gouging of 800 percent, ticket switch fiascos and now.... NO TAILGATING at World Cup venues.  And yes, that includes Arrowhead.  Sorry fans, you just don't matter that much.   Scott Bessent says an executive order for American banks is coming and one of the benefits could be cleaner elections.  In Johnson County, they are keeping the name Negro Creek after years of trying to remove it.  You have to hear why the Dems have changed their minds on these things moving on from canceling and embracing something even worse.    A surgeon in Florida is indicted for losing a patient on the table when the removed the wrong organ.   The Royals have real problems... but it looks like a lot of other teams do as well.   Diana Russini quits her job over scandal and an American sweeheart has hooked up with another celebrity finding love later in life

    There are two meetings today to move forward on the Royals building a new stadium at Crown Center and we are getting a lot more details of what that district will look like by 2030.  The Parks and Rec board will vote to give the city manager authority to negotiate a lease with the team while the City Council meets to set up a schedule to move forward to approval of $600 million.  It's feeling like go time!    Kansas governor Laura (Karen) Kelly used her veto 25 times this legislative session but the good news is a whole bunch of them were overridden by a supermajority.  Good news... the protests at public schools are about to go away as we've known them.    Eric Swalwell's fall from grace has been years in the making, but, holy smokes is this getting ugly.  There's video everywhere... so much so it's like watching Hunter Biden all over again.      After Trump blocked the shipping ports in Iran, ships all over the world are headed to the Gulf of America.  It's incredible.  At least 125 empty ships are headed here to fill up 2 million barrels ON EACH SHIP.  Yes, that's $200 million worth of oil we are selling to 120 more ships.    When I saw the photo of the charred and pretty much destroyed Orion capsule our astronauts returned home in, I only asked one question.  You may be asking the same thing.    Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice posts the most hilarious post in Chiefs history as he suggests he will be looking for a new contract that pays him like he's the number one receiver in the NFL.  This dude has issues.    FIFA is working another bait and switch on tickets and Arrowhead and nobody can do anything about it.  Governor Kehoe is sending the National Guard and State Troopers to KC for the World Cup and I missed quite a chance to buy a piece of expensive memorabilia for a song a decade ago.

   Mayor Quintin Lucas says Kansas City has $600 million to build the Royals a new stadium at Crown Center and couldn't wait to share the news.  But he did wait until after he won an earnings tax vote on Tuesday.  This is politics and its best or worst depending on how you look at it.  Now, the governor is on the clock.  Jeff City offered the Chiefs and/or Royals 50% of a new stadium if a city or county stepped up with support.  Get this... the "stupid" or "clueless" Royals as critics have called them will get WAY more than Kansas offered if Missouri kicks in 50%.  It will be the greatest deal any baseball team has ever had.  82 percent for free.    The DOJ is misguided going after the NFL for its tv contract and I will prove it in less than a minute.      At the K, watching the Royals bat makes you want to watch CNN... Rory soars at the Masters in round one and gives a spectacular quote right after.  The coach/reporter scandal in the NFL grows and we learned when Travis and Taylor are getting married.

Museums often served nationalist and imperialist interests in the past, but the primary force in the 21st century is the market. Museum franchising—exemplified by the Louvre Abu Dhabi—is one of the most visible cases of the increasing entanglement of art and museums with capital interests. Such projects are often touted as global enterprises diversifying the art world. Frequently, critics of these controversial projects question these claims and market influence. The intersection of these two forces—increasing capitalization and moving toward inclusivity—creates a fundamental tension, and that is the subject of Beth Derderian's Art Capital: Museum Politics and the Making of the Louvre Abu Dhabi (Stanford UP, 2026). Focusing on the decade between the Louvre Abu Dhabi's announcement and its eventual opening, the book analyzes how major shifts away from the 19th- and 20th-century paradigm of culture-state representation play out in museums' and artists' everyday practices. Derderian traces the emergence of a new logic, wherein the ways that artists represent the state shift, as does the notion of what constitutes 'good art.' In addition, these intersecting forces spur preemptive erasures that neutralize and depoliticize difference for museum publics. Drawing on ethnographic research with artists, curators, museum staff, gallerists, art teachers, and other arts professionals, this book analyzes the UAE art world as a microcosm of these massive, epistemic changes.

In addition, these intersecting forces spur preemptive erasures that neutralize and depoliticize difference for museum publics. Drawing on ethnographic research with artists, curators, museum staff, gallerists, art teachers, and other arts professionals, this book analyzes the UAE art world as a microcosm of these massive, epistemic changes.

Museums often served nationalist and imperialist interests in the past, but the primary force in the 21st century is the market. Museum franchising—exemplified by the Louvre Abu Dhabi—is one of the most visible cases of the increasing entanglement of art and museums with capital interests. Such projects are often touted as global enterprises diversifying the art world. Frequently, critics of these controversial projects question these claims and market influence.

The history of modern Syria is usually reduced to a story of autocracy, repression, and occasional revolt. And it is a short story, stretching back only to the fragmentation of the Ottoman Empire, or perhaps to the secret terms of the Sykes-Picot Agreement that divided the Near East between Britain and France. But my guest Daniel Neep has a different perspective. He believes that such narratives overlook “the pre-​colonial foundations for modern Syria that were undertaken by reformers, infrastructure builders and identity entrepreneurs in the late Ottoman Empire.” They also neglect “the role that Syrians themselves played in determining the precise course of these borders” as well as the ways in which Syrians “ have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity.” These are some of the arguments which he develops in his new book Syria: A Modern History.Daniel Neep is Senior Editor at Arab Center Washington DC and a non-resident fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University. He has taught Middle East politics at George Washington University, Georgetown University, and the University of Exeter, and was previously Syria research director with the Council for British Research in the Levant. He has lived in Syria for five years, including for the first year of the uprising, as well as in Amman, and Beirut, and now lives in Washington, DC.

Modern Syria has seen violence, repression, and autocracy, suffering through tragedy after tragedy over the past century. Yet the history of Syria is not just a tale of dictators and generals. From the 1800s to the 2020s, the Syrian people have engaged in a passionate struggle for justice, equality, and a better future. Whether fighting for national independence from French colonial rule, battling local landowning elites to share the country's wealth, or rising up against the Assad regime, the Syrian people have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity. Theirs is a story of protest and perseverance in the long fight to reshape the political destiny of their nation. Daniel Neep's new book, A History of Modern Syria, offers a gripping narrative of how Syrians have navigated the events of the last two centuries. Never losing sight of the fates of ordinary people, it provides a comprehensive account of how a nation born in conflict sustained a rich, complex, and diverse society that after the fall of Assad will chart a new path into the uncertain future. Daniel Neep is Non-Resident Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, and Senior Editor at Arab Center Washington DC.

Iran has been shaken by protests on a scale not seen since its 1979 revolution. Demonstrations that began in the country's capital over the state of the economy have spread to multiple cities, with wider calls for political change.The government has called the demonstrations "riots" backed by the nation's enemies.Thousands have been killed.For some, the scenes bring back memories of the uprising that toppled the monarchy more than four decades ago. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch, has emerged as a figure that could challenge the existing order.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking ‘Is history repeating itself in Iran?'Contributors: Naghmeh Sohrabi, modern Middle East historian, director for research at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University, United States Azadeh Kian, author of ‘Rethinking Gender, Ethnicity and Religion in Iran', emerita professor of sociology and gender studies at the University of Paris Cité, France Sara Bazoobandi, non-resident research fellow at the Institute for Security Policy of Kiel University, Germany Siavash Ardalan, BBC Persia senior reporter, United KingdomPresenter: Daniel Rosney Producer: Megan Lawton Technical producer: James Bradshaw Editor: Tom Bigwood Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Car on fire on a street in Iran.
