Laura Lorson
Laura Lorson, host of “All Things Considered” on Kansas Public Radio grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Yesterday, NPR aired one of her commentaries: Oh, Kentucky Home and the Derby.
Another piece, and I especially like this one of hers from last month, is about music on the radio and a near-miss (near-hit?) on the Kansas Turnpike: An Exile on Main Street.
Laura is a natural storyteller. When I’ve visited with her in person, the conversation might tumble into a tale about her mother or an aunt, or about shopping for antiques and before long her Kentucky accent works its way loose and seems to become a part of the story itself.
Every Laura Lorson commentary has something that takes me by surprise, an angle I wish I’d thought of, a line that makes me laugh out loud.
Laura and her commentaries are extraordinary, just like you and yours.
