Of the 11 U.S. cities to host FIFA World Cup games, Kansas City is the most unlikely — but also among the most deserving.

The momentum continued not only with games in the World Cup, but four base camps in the Kansas City area.The world's largest sporting event is coming to the middle of America because, as Bukaty notes, Kansas City earned the bid.SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. It's produced by Hannah Wise, Suzanne Hogan, and Gabriella Lacey, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.

This year has felt like there've been a series of large sports mega events and summits planned and taking place in cities across the USA. For instance, starting in June the FIFA World Cup will be hosted in cities across the country (as well as a few in Mexico and Canada). Also a few cities are hosting meetings and an eventual summit related to the G20, or group of 20 economies, a gathering between large capitalist industries, banks, para-grovernmental neoliberal international institutions, government ministries and heads of state that share policy decisions effecting immigration, wars, trade policy and the climate. In 2028 Los Angeles will host the Olympics. This episode will feature two discussions about some of the security impacts of hosting large sports or political events and the ways that the state and capital work to change the landscape and norms of the locations they take place. First up, Kristian Williams speaks about National Special Security Events like the G20 or World Cup, how they change local police and surveillance landscapes and work to turbocharge gentrification and displace working and poor people, making our cities more hostile to anything but commerce and control. Then, you'll hear from Sam Schmidt at Our Streets Collective to speak about homeless sweeps in Pittsburgh, PA in the run-up to and aftermath of the 2026 NFL Draft taking place in that city.

The leaked USMNT World Cup roster is here and The Cooligans are diving into every shocking inclusion and painful omission. Did Mauricio Pochettino get it right leaving Diego Luna and Tanner Tessmann off the list? Should Gio Reyna and Alejandro Zendejas have made the squad? Christian and Alexis debate the biggest roster controversies and what these decisions say about the future of the U.S. Men's National Team heading into the World Cup. Then, former Mexico striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández joins the show for one of the most thoughtful football conversations we've had in a long time. Chicharito opens up about the biggest problems in Mexican soccer, why fans need to rethink how they support players, how he developed his instincts as a striker, and why Hugo Sánchez still doesn't get enough respect as one of the greatest goal scorers the sport has ever seen. Plus, we react to one of the tensest Premier League decision days in recent memory. West Ham are down, Tottenham somehow survive, Sunderland are headed to Europe in their first season back in the top flight, and Pep Guardiola says goodbye to the Premier League in emotional fashion. Is Pep the greatest manager football has ever seen? We debate it all. .Timestamps: (1:30) - Reacting to USMNT's leaked World Cup roster (25:30) - Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez joins the Cooligans (1:09:30) - West Ham eliminated, Tottenham survive relegation (1:18:00) - Sunderland qualify for European football (1:22:30) - Pep Guardiola says goodbye to Manchester City Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

Todd is joined by Apple TV's lead MLS analyst, Jake Zivin. Todd and Jake discuss Zivin's career as the former TV play-by-play commentator for the Portland Timbers, Inter Miami's match against the Timbers, the differences between last year's Inter Miami squad and the current version of the team, how surprising the Union's poor start to the season has been, whether it is surprising that Bradley Carnell is still in charge after the Columbus Crew and Austin FC recently fired their coaches, and the Union's potential lineup against Inter Miami.   Jake's career: Working at Portland Timbers with Ross Smith: [2:16] Inter Miami v Portland Timbers review: Keeping a clean sheet: [10:18] Differences between last year's and this year's Inter Miami team: [19:04] Inter Miami v Philadelphia Union preview: How surprising is the Union's slow start: [27:00] Will Bradley Carnell still be in charge of the Union after Inter Miami game: [32:04] Union's potential lineup: [44:07]   Social Media: Twitter: @FreeKickPod Instagram: @FreeKickPod Facebook: @FreeKickPod YouTube: The Free Kick https://thefreekick.substack.com/   Jose's Social Media: Twitter: @JoserNunez91 https://nunezj.substack.com/   Jake's Social Media: Twitter: @JakeZivin

1:19 Bringing a child into the world should not come at the cost of a mother's life. Yet in Ghana, many women continue to face significant challenges in accessing quality maternal healthcare. Behind the statistics are real stories of women, families, midwives, and healthcare workers navigating systems under pressure while working to ensure safer pregnancies and healthier futures. FBO's Zaakirah Muhammad explores the realities of maternal health in Ghana, the cultural and structural factors shaping care, and the efforts underway to improve outcomes for mothers across the nation.13:40 Trauma doesn't just live in our memories—it lives in the body. For many Black people, generations of stress, survival, and systemic harm are carried in muscle, breath, and nervous systems long after the moment has passed. Somatic therapy asks a different kind of healing question: not just what happened to you, but what is your body still holding? In this concluding part, Alana Mbanza explores somatic therapy and why reconnecting with the Black body is a powerful, and often overlooked, path toward restoration and wholeness. Listen to the first part of her story here.23:53 Every movement carries echoes of the people who came before it. Today's activists are organizing, protesting, educating, and building community while drawing strength from generations of civil rights leaders who fought for justice at great personal cost. But as hard-won protections, public histories, and equity initiatives face renewed challenges, many are asking: what does it mean to continue the work when so much of that progress feels under attack? FBO's Francia Allen explores the topic with Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols and others.33:02 The world's biggest sporting event is coming to the U.S. (Mexico and Canada), bringing with it global attention, massive investment, and the promise of unforgettable moments. But for many fans, actually experiencing the FIFA World Cup in person may remain out of reach. Rising ticket prices, expensive travel, hotel costs, and limited accessibility are raising questions about who mega sporting events are really for. As cities prepare to welcome the world, what happens to the local fans and communities who helped grow the game in the first place? FBO's Phil Childs explores the growing tension between global spectacle and public access—and asks whether the World Cup is becoming an experience reserved for those who can afford the price of admission.42:24 We've all heard of Empty Nest Syndrome, but Sonda Slade experienced Half-Empty Nest Syndrome when her daughter transitioned from her child to her roommate.Focus: Black Oklahoma is produced in partnership with KOSU Radio & Tri-City Collective.

“We May See It… But Do We Need It? The Costco Reality Check You Can't Ignore” That simple question turns into the ultimate test of willpower in this wildly relatable episode of The JB and Sandy Show—and if you've ever walked into a warehouse store for one item and walked out $500 lighter, this one's for you. JB and Sandy kick things off with a hilarious deep dive into the Costco effect, sharing a surprisingly powerful mantra that could save you from your next impulse-buy spiral. Sandy's unforgettable “Ode to Costco” steals the show, painting a vivid (and painfully accurate) picture of bulk-shopping chaos with lines like: “You enter for just toothpaste… then leave with a kayak, six muffins, and a 60-pound pie.” It's comedy gold—and maybe a little too real. The episode also taps into hot topics and everyday dilemmas, from whether the FIFA World Cup experience is worth the massive crowds to the charm of keeping things local and simple. Sandy shares a personal take that might surprise sports fans, while the crew weighs in on what truly makes an event memorable. Plus, there's a mix of nostalgia and current trends—from iconic restaurant throwbacks making a comeback, to quirky cultural observations (including a moment that left everyone stunned by a certain TV star's real accent). And just when you think it couldn't get more off-the-cuff, JB introduces his tongue-in-cheek “rules” that spark plenty of laughs—and maybe a little debate. You'll also hear about wild Central Texas weather, the chaos it caused, and how the community is bouncing back—adding a real-life, local heartbeat to the episode. Memorable Moments & Quotes: “We may see it… but we don't need it.” “You enter for just toothpaste… then leave with a flat screen and an aluminum shed.” “Directions are for cowards.”
