Kansas City is famous for its smoked meat. So what do the COVID-19 meat shortages mean for restaurants' ability to buy & serve that delicious, delicious barbecue?

That's now on @kcur. Join us!

[Central Standard @kcurCST]

Congrats, José! @TacoTrail told us the story of that taco last year. You may not want to listen on an empty stomach. https://t.co/th8SmzeNnI

[José R. Ralat 🌶️ @TacoTrail]

I'm excited to announce that my @Eater story on Kansas City's ever-elusive indigenous taco will appear in the 2020 Best American Food Writing anthology from @HMHbooks. You can preorder the book. https://t.co/8DX62nOLNF

"Some people are not so great about being historians about what they've done," says @epielizjoco, who heads up the contact tracing team at @jocogov. We do the best we can, she tells @kcur.

[KCUR's Up To Date @KCURUpToDate]

One of the new phrases that’s come into our lexicon is “contract tracing.” That’s the tracking down of people who have come into contact with someone who's COVID-19 positive. To explain how it works, @kcur speaks w/ @jocohealth's @epielizjoco. Tune in now!

If you've walked down parts of 40th Street or Clark in the Volker neighborhood of Kansas City lately, you may have seen a bunch of alternating flags.

Now on @kcur, why these neighbors wanted to find a way to honor health care workers.

[Central Standard @kcurCST]

We're talking dating right now live at https://t.co/admex5Kq9H. Are you dating during this pandemic? Would you? Tell us at 816.235.2888.

[KCUR's Up To Date @KCURUpToDate]

Is it really possible to date in the era of COVID-19? Well, yes, sorta kinda. People date virtually, but that, obviously, has its limits.

Coming up on @kcur, author @hellolanemoore & licensed counselor Amy Lou Carlson on how people are sorting all of this out.

[Central Standard @kcurCST]

Hey, what are you streaming these days? An old standby? Something new? Science fiction? We want to know and we've got @univofkansas film prof and Oscar winner Kevin Wilmott in the house, too. Tell us! 816.235.2888.

[Central Standard @kcurCST]

We have one last story before we go... When @SMNindians Associate Principal Dave Ewers wasn’t able to run in the Boston Marathon... his coworkers and family came together to make it a day to remember in Kansas City anyway. That's streaming now at https://t.co/admex5Kq9H

[SMN Girls Swim and Dive @SMNGirlsSwim]

Mr. Ewers was supposed to run the Boston Marathon today. It was canceled due to Covid-19, but that didn't stop him from doing it anyway! You the man Mr. Ewers! #DewersDoesBoston2020

[Central Standard @kcurCST]

Also, what are you seeing out there? Are people playing by the rules? We wanna know, folks. 816-235-2888 or tweet us.

[Central Standard @kcurCST]
