Off Air with Kristi Capel

Welcome to “Off-Air with Kristi Capel”!  My podcast promises to brighten your day with laughter, motivation, and inspiration!
 
Throughout my 14-year journey as a news anchor, I've had the pleasure of interviewing incredible individuals. Often, the constraints of live news do not allow us to delve deep into their stories. That's where my podcast comes in.
 
Join me as we uncover the fascinating journeys of comedians, actors, and inspirational figures from all corners of the country. These are tales that resonate, stories that inspire, and beginnings that spark the imagination.  20 years in the news and entertainment business, former Miss Missouri USA, and mom of 3, I might just have a few stories of my own to sprinkle into the mix!
 
We will also delve into important and thought-provoking discussions. I am also committed to shedding light on serious issues that matter.
 
Through the power of storytelling, “Off-Air with Kristi Capel” will kindle inspiration and foster a connection with the narratives that shape our lives. We will uncover the beauty of human tales and find joy in shared experiences. Join me as we explore the depths of inspiration and unwavering faith.
