168 Parks and 186 Miles of Trails: A Conversation with Maggie Stuckey-Ross on Lincoln's Parks

Maggie Stuckey-Ross leads one of Lincoln's most visible public departments — Parks and Recreation — but her path there ran through Capitol Hill, the Arbor Day Foundation, and a childhood spent on the playground at Irvingdale Park. In this conversation, she walks Randy and Marilyn through the philosophy behind a parks system designed so that nearly every household in Lincoln sits within a ten-minute walk of a green space, a trail, a pool, or a rec center. Along the way, she shares the story of the new Canopy Yard skate park downtown, the thinking behind playgrounds designed for children of every ability, the Lincoln Parks Foundation's role in funding the city's most beloved spaces, and Lincoln's quiet national distinction: number one in the country for outdoor basketball hoops per capita. A thoughtful conversation about public stewardship, community design, and the spaces that quietly hold our lives together. Recorded at The Coffee Roaster in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Downtown Todd: A Conversation with Todd Ogden on the Future of Downtown Lincoln

Todd Ogden, better known around Lincoln as "Downtown Todd", joins Randy and Marilyn in the roasting room for a conversation about the city's most visible, and most ambitious, neighborhood.As President and CEO of the Downtown Lincoln Association, Todd has a hand in nearly every major project shaping the city's core: the O Street streetscape rebuild now underway, the long-planned convention center near the Cornhusker, the new Music Box venue, the emerging Boehmer Street music district, the future library at the Centrum, and South Haymarket Park. He walks us through what is happening, why it is happening now, and what it will feel like to live, work, and visit downtown in the years ahead.Along the way, Todd talks about the 2018 downtown master plan and the patience required to bring big civic ideas to life, the business improvement district that quietly keeps downtown clean and cared for, the growth of downtown residency from 3,000 people in 2010 to roughly 15,000 today, and the new Downtown Lincoln Coalition that is inviting residents, employees, and enthusiasts to become Downtown Champions.He also reflects on what keeps him in Lincoln — family, the football coach for a father-in-law, the idea that "one voice can make a change" — and why he believes downtowns, in the end, are about people more than buildings.

episode Sweet Work: Gaylene Steinbach and the Art of Lulubee Chocolate | Common Grounds Podcast cover

Sweet Work: Gaylene Steinbach and the Art of Lulubee Chocolate | Common Grounds Podcast

What does it take to turn a moment of wonder into a life's work? For Gaylene Steinbach, it started with a box of chocolates her mother gave her — the most beautiful she had ever seen. She and her family of four cut each piece into quarters just to make them last. The flavors stayed with her. The curiosity never left.In this conversation recorded inside the roasting room at The Coffee Roaster, Gaylene talks with Randy Bretz about the unlikely path from dental hygiene to chocolatier, the science and patience behind a single hand-painted bonbon, and what it means to build a small business in a city that genuinely wants you to succeed.She also talks about her daughters — one a critical and honest taste-tester, the other her right hand from middle school through the early years of the shop — and about the web of small business friendships in Lincoln that make solo work feel a little less alone.There's toffee on the table. There's chocolate. And there's a conversation about craft, community, and what happens when you follow something that genuinely fascinates you.---- LINKS ----Lulubee Chocolates: www.lulubeechocolates.comThe Coffee Roaster: www.coffeeroasterlnk.com

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
