Customer Reviews
Great production value
Very glad I stumbled across this gem. Informative, intelligent, and well produced. Looking forward to more episodes.
It’s a fun listen
It’s a fun quick listen. Very informative for what it is. Great research by Adam. But it doesn't dish out new episodes very often and the episodes are very very short. Would love to see them released more often and to be longer! Theres could be so much more substance and lots to cover to do it with.
Lots of Fun!
This is my first regular podcast, and its lots of fun! I enjoy sharing the stories, telling the tales and spreading the great history of North Omaha. If you like it, I hope you'll leave a 5-star rating!
