Tell KCUR: What Does It Mean To Be A Midwesterner In 5 Words Or Less?

KCUR

As our daily talk show Central Standard prepares for its on-air discussion of Midwestern values later this week, we want to know more about your take on the country’s heartland.

Does your mind veer immediately to the region’s work ethic or do you think more about Midwest cuisine or weather?

Tell KCUR: What does it mean to be a Midwesterner in five words or less?

You also can leave us a message at 816-235-2881 or send an email with your answer to social@kcur.org.

We’ll share your stories Thursday online and on the air during Central Standard, which starts at 10 a.m.
