Podcast Q&A: Rising Star student asks district guests about first jobs
Summary
Aubrey, a third-grader at Rising Star, asks Shawnee Mission guests about their first jobs; answers range from a pharmacy holiday job to a carhop shift and a student job umpiring youth sports.
The episode closed with a recorded question from Aubrey, who said, “My name is Aubrey. I'm going into third grade at Rising Star. My question is what was your first job?” Hosts and guests answered with anecdotes about early work experiences.
Mike Schumacher said his first job was during the holidays at a pharmacy in Garden City, Kansas, wrapping presents. A co‑host recalled working as a carhop at Sonic Drive‑In on roller skates. Joey said he is still working his first paid job as an umpire at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, calling youth baseball and softball games from T‑ball through eighth grade.
The short segment is used as a humanizing close to the episode and to connect district staff and students to younger listeners; the hosts encouraged listeners to submit story ideas and said new episodes post every other Thursday on smsd.org.
