It's been a great 40 years at KBIA. But KBIA wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for our listeners. To celebrate this anniversary, we've launched the '40/40 project.' We're visiting 40 cities and towns - in Mid-Missouri and beyond - where our members have shown their support for KBIA.We aim to send a 'postcard' to our listeners from each of these places - telling you about the things we see and sharing conversations with the people we meet. We'll be posting the stories and photos from these cities and towns on this site as KBIA's 40th Anniversary celebration continues in 2012.You can also hear the audio pieces on KBIA during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.All these stories and more are collected at www.4040project.org.

Columbia is known for many things: education, health care, parks, reporter--and it’s also known for it’s diversity. We meet one of the thousands of Columbians who come from other countries and hear of how Columbia has become home for her and her family.
