Kansas Profile is a weekly radio feature hosted by Ron Wilson, Director of the Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development.

Each week the program describes the ideas and achievements of a local leader or entrepreneur in a rural community. By providing positive recognition to such leaders and sharing their ideas, we hope to encourage these and other Kansans to build on their examples. In doing so, rural Kansas can be made an even better place to live and work.

We know there are many more excellent and interesting examples across the state of Kansas. We encourage the public to provide us with suggestions of Kansas people, businesses or communities which would make an interesting profile.

Below are the most recent editions of Kansas Profile in mp3 format. Most likely, your computer already has a basic mp3 player of some sort--but if not, some of the more popular options include Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, WinAmp, and Apple's QuickTime (available for both Windows and Macintosh computers).

If you're new to Kansas Profile, here's an introductory program to the series.
