In the late 1980s Walt donated a small collection of his recordings to the Marr Sound Archives at the Miller Nichols Library of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. A selection of these recordings has been digitized and is made accessible here. Many of the programs focus on events of historic importance in the history of Kansas City, including the 1951 flood, the 1957 tornado, and the 1968 riots.

Listeners of these recordings will discover – or have reiterated for themselves – that Walt Bodine is, indeed, Kansas City's master broadcaster.
