The Common Folk sit down with our most high profile guest yet, Douglas McAneny. McAneny spent a large part of his younger years growing up in Nebraska and went on to attend the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. His storied U.S. Navy career fills our conversation, although we can't talk about all he has experienced. He is one of those regular Nebraska boys who went on to do world changing things and is still at it today.

Customer Reviews
We’re All Just Common Folk
This podcast is always enjoyable and entertaining, yet also packed full of information and little nuggets of knowledge. Ben, Morgan, and Andy have such chemistry between the three of them, each episode is guaranteed to make me laugh at least a half dozen times. The guests are always interesting and informative, but I also enjoy when the three of them riff on a particular topic. I appreciate the common perspectives from the Common Folk. And Morgan, because of you, I know the greatness of mixing Dorthy Lynch and ranch dressing. Tipping my hat to you all from Texas.
