In this episode of The Civic Circus Podcast, we’re joined by Traevor (Trae) McPherson—a 10-year Topekan originally from South Central Kansas, and a lifelong student of public affairs. With a background full of passion for game shows, entertainment, and marketing, Trae brings a unique lens to local leadership and civic engagement.
We dive into his experience running for mayor in a small town, what that journey taught him, and how it influences the changes he’d love to see right here in Topeka. From boosting civic pride to creating more spaces for genuine community connection, Trae shares thoughtful ideas for the city’s future. Plus, he gives us the inside scoop on reviving TopCity Today, his former show focused on highlighting the people, progress, and pulse of Topeka.
This episode is full of insight, inspiration, and a bit of fun—just like Trae himself.
