Shows Morning Dan!

In our 8th episode, Dan talked to Diane Robertson, who co-hosts a locally produced tv show called Just Down The Road. Now, with some exciting news about the show, the other co-host sits down with Dan. He takes some time to clear the air about all the awful things Diane said about him, as well […]

A couple months into the Morning Dan adventure, the show’s producer, Jared, also Dan’s son, claimed in one of the shows he could do a better job as host and vowed to eventually start an alter-ego show to Morning Dan… called Midnight Jared. And today he finally made good on that claim! Play the show […]

Dan is probably the first person you think of when you hear the words ‘fashion’ and ‘style’ right? For us though, that person is Jessie Artigue. She runs a blog about local fashion called The Concrete Catwalk. As you can imagine, she was very impressed with the hot styles we drape ourselves in at Morning […]

First of all, this Michael Carter guy is a jerk. He pulls teeth from undernutritioned kids in Central America, he shaves his beard for attention, and he’s an awful racquetball player. But nevermind all that stuff. As the producer of Morning Dan, I have my own very good reason for calling him names – and […]

Marvin’s just a regular guy, but as you hopefully have learned from Morning Dan by now, everybody has an interesting story of how they got to today. His dad was a P.O.W. in Vietnam, which ultimately affected why he’s now in the job he’s in. This is exactly why we love doing this show – […]

Is it a Gewurztraminer, a Vidal, or a Chamborcin? No, we’re not just talking about Scrabble. In this episode, Dan takes on one of the world’s top Sommeliers. Don’t know what that is? You most definitely need to listen! Play the show or download the mp3.

Most of us have all suffered the agony of being stuck on a date that wasn’t going well. Some of us have that problem more than others. Shauna, however, seems to be a bad date magnet. And who doesn’t enjoy a good bad date story?! Also, Dan shares the worst breakup he ever had. We’d […]

As a nutritionist at Harvesters, Taryn gets to teach other people how to cook and make better decisions with what they cook. But the best part is how much she loves doing that – even though she still loves fried Ho-Ho’s. Laugh and learn in today’s episode! Also check out the Harvester’s website. Play the […]

Well it only took about 5 months, but finally, Jordan, Dan’s youngest son, has found time to come on the show. Apparently he has been saving up all his complaining and ranting for this show, because he sure let loose (about the dumbest things, I might add). Real quick though, there is a video mentioned […]

Jack grew up dreaming of owning a restaurant and now, in the same neighborhood, he does. He and Dan chat about his childhood and about his restaurant, Marina Grog and Galley – as if Dan didn’t already know all about it. It’s only one of his favorite restaurants! Play the show or download the mp3.

If you have ever wanted to see Dan dance (Anyone… hello? Anybody there?), you have probably been let down your whole life. However, our guest today may or may not have got him to dance with her… you’ll have to find out for yourself. Abbe is a student at the Kansas City Art Institute and […]

We asked Chad to be a guest so to give you a chance to hear about the local organization he helped start that raises funding for pediatric brain cancer research. What we didn’t know about him is how “interesting” his in-laws are. For more information on The Kyrie Foundation, please visit their website: kyriefoundation.org Play […]

Bob is one of the co-founders of a local health food supermarket and he and Dan have worked together for years, when Dan used to do radio ads and things for the store, Nature’s Pantry. The friendship continues today with Nature’s Pantry holding one of the esteemed responsibilities (or embarrassment?) of sponsoring Morning Dan. So […]

Dan and Andy have lovely chat this morning. He’s a culinary student who’s grown up in Kansas City. They talk about his favorite places to eat around town and Dan admits the awful truth about his first date with Marcia. Enjoy the pictures below by clicking the arrow buttons on the side of the photo […]

This episode introduces you to a woman who is known, internationally, as a sexy nanny. A single 20-something – she bakes, cares for children, loves the outdoors, and isn’t high maintenance. Sounds perfect right? So Dan sets out to investigate why she’s still single. Play the show or download the mp3.

Dan chats with his producer Jared today about the usual irrelevant string of topics. They start off talking about Jared’s vacation to Winter Park, Colorado, but it tangents completely from there. One of the few things that didn’t come up, though, is Jared’s kleptomania habit with magazines at the doctor’s office. Maybe some other time. […]

Morning Dan returns after a fantastic vacation in the mountains. To get things rolling again, Dan watched some college basketball with Teresa Ritter while they talked about the upcoming “Hoops Hysteria.” The phrases “March Madness” and “Final Four” are actually trademarked by the NCAA, so we have to be careful as we’re sure they’re keeping […]

Good morning and thanks for coming back after our break. Let’s hope 2010 embraces Morning Dan! Today’s episode features Dan’s brother-in-law, who was visiting KC from Virginia for a little bit. Remember, if you know somebody who would make for a good guest, let us know. We are trying to do the show three times […]

Merry Christmas!  Today is the last show of the week and it’s a bit different. Dan shares a short but touching Christmas memory from his childhood. Music in this episode:   George Winston – “Peace”        (from the album December: Piano Solos – Anniversary Edition)   Mercy Me – “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day”        (from the […]

Eric is Dan’s oldest son and, being a new parent, clearly the most responsible of the Hurst children. He’s the biggest potty mouth too, as I had to cover up a record number of profanities (3) in today’s show. Hey Eric, just because it’s the internet doesn’t mean your mother isn’t listening! As mentioned in […]
