KWU continues to widen its reach in the digital sector, as the university recently announced a partnership with the locally produced podcast, \u201cAsk a Kansan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re glad to join the \u2018Ask a Kansan\u2019 team,\u201d said Brad Salois, assistant vice president for marketing and communications. \u201cIt\u2019s critical that, as we venture into new areas to grow the KWU brand, we do it with people and businesses that we trust. FILI Creative is at the top of that list. Our goals of building community and, in the process, sharing why Kansas is so special dovetail with the mission of the podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk a Kansan\u201d launched in February 2025, under the leadership of FILI Creative, a local company run by Gus Applequist \u201914, chair of KWU\u2019s Foundation Board. It has brought individuals from all walks of life to the FILI studio to discuss what sets Kansas\u2019 culture and lifestyle apart.\u00a0Tanner\u00a0Colvin\u00a0\u201911, regionally recognized photographer, recently joined FILI as the \u201cAsk a Kansan\u201d photojournalist and story producer, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the past few years, we\u2019ve done a lot of new things for KWU\u2019s marketing efforts,\u201d said Salois. \u201cWe went into new locations, new venues and, yes, we sponsored a race car in a national series! One thing we\u2019ve never done, however, is sponsor a podcast. It\u2019s a pleasure to do it alongside two alumni and in a way that emphasizes our shared goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Ask A Kansan\u2019 is proud to partner with Kansas Wesleyan University,\u201d said Applequist. \u201cKWU\u2019s pursuit of building community and creating opportunity aligns closely with our mission to amplify, connect and uncover Kansas. We are honored to have them as a sponsor of the podcast and look forward to working together to spread curiosity, knowledge and hope across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership, an ad promoting \u201cAsk a Kansan\u201d will run on KWU streams beginning this month and will play inside Mabee Arena during designated games. KWU will be promoted on the podcast as a sponsor, including various ads during episodes.<\/p>\n
