Morning Meetings
Morning Meetings
The conversation mid-Missouri wakes up to. Each weekday morning, Morning Meetings sits down with the people behind the headlines — local leaders, business owners, coaches and neighbors — for the kind of long-form interview you won't hear anywhere else on the dial.
Hosted by
Michael Daugherty, News Director
What you'll hear
Headlines & the Day Ahead
We open with the overnight headlines, school and government meeting notes, and what the newsroom is watching across all six counties.
The Morning Guest
A long-form, conversational interview with a local newsmaker — a mayor, superintendent, business owner, coach or volunteer with something happening this week.
Community Calendar
Fairs, fundraisers, council meetings and church suppers — the events that make mid-Missouri tick, read straight from the calendar.
