Great pod!
If you have any interest in Omaha theater at all, this is the pod for you. Camille gave a great first interview, and the upcoming lineup is terrific. Daena does her homework and gets the most out of her subjects. I can’t wait for more.
Fascinating
Daena Schweiger is a real theatre renaissance woman. So far, I’ve only heard the first episode, but it was a rich, fascinating conversation with one of my favorite Omaha performers. I look forward to more Thank You 5.
