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.

My Town (2003).
