Mackenzie Martin

I'm a senior podcast producer and reporter at KCUR Studios, the podcast wing of Kansas City’s NPR affiliate. I produce A People's History of Kansas City and a myriad of other podcasts.

Over the years, my curiosity has led me to investigate blues "too risque" for the radio, how America became a fast food icon, and the place where civil rights and McDonald's intersect. My stories have aired on 99% Invisible, NPR's Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Marketplace, Here & Now, and the podcast Gravy. I've also done freelance work for Radiolab, LAist Studios, Post Reports, and Milk Street Radio.
