Join NPR Podcast host Tom Wilmer for a visit with Alan Carr who shares cool things to do and see in Independence, Missouri.

It's the home of the Harry S. Truman Library, and the historic gateway to the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails.

And then it’s off to discover the 140,000 square-foot Ameristar Casino and Resorton the edge of Kansas City, Missouri with Roxanne Kinkade.

And then it’s time to visit the polar bears, penguins, Koala Bears, and Orangutans at the world-class Kansas City Zoo.
