Walt Bodine Collection

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Walt Bodine was born August 27, 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Longfellow Elementary School and Westport High School. As a youth he worked in his family’s all night drugstore on the corner of Linwood and Troost. In 1940, he began his broadcasting career as an announcer and sportscaster for KDRO in Sedalia. After a stint with KVAK in Atchison, Kansas, Walt returned to Kansas City where he worked for KCKN, WDAF, WHB and KMBZ. At WDAF, Walt hosted “Conversations” a popular talk show broadcast live from Bretton’s Restaurant in downtown Kansas City. In the mid-1960s, Walt switched to WHB, where he hosted “Night Beat” one of the nation’s first call in shows. In 1983 Walt moved to KCUR, where he continues to host “The Walt Bodine Show.” Walt has a special knack for conducting an interview while keeping in mind the listening audience. Over the years, He has interviewed many historic figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Dr. Werner von Braun, President Harry S. Truman and Thomas Hart Benton. Walt is a Kansas City and radio icon. He has received several awards for his work including a Truman Community Service Award, Bishop John J. Sullivan Award for Communications and a Kansas City Spirit Award. Walt has written several books about his experiences in radio and in Kansas City including Right Here in River City (1976), What Do You Say to That? (1989) and My Times and My Town (2003).
