Ask A Kansan

In this week’s Ask A Kansan, we’re honored to sit down with Jim Richardson, acclaimed photographer for National Geographic and contributing editor for TRAVELER Magazine. Over the course of his career, Jim has photographed more than fifty stories for National Geographic, traveling from volcanic peaks to the depths of the soil beneath our feet, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and countless places in between.

ABC News Nightline even followed Jim into the field and behind the scenes at National Geographic headquarters, capturing the depth and dedication of his storytelling process. In our conversation, Jim reflects on how his Kansas roots shaped his perspective, the journey that launched his career, and the lessons learned from seeing the world through a lens.

What is Ask A Kansan?

Ask A Kansan is a podcast where we're amplifying, connecting and uncovering stories across Kansas.

Every week, Gus and Sydney sit down with the people who actually make this state run — museum directors and ranchers, founders and historians, zookeepers and woodcarvers. From Kansas City to Kinsley, WaKeeney to Wichita, we go where the story is.

You'll leave each episode knowing something you didn't about the state we call home. It's not a history lecture and it's not a business show. It's a real conversation with a Kansan worth knowing.

New episodes weekly. askakansan.com
