Understandable, though I wonder if(hope)this will improve when he’s actually sitting in the chair so to speak. The latest Grow Omaha said something about having him on after he’s had a little adjustment time. They also mentioned having Stothert on as a co-host.

Haha those were separate things. They want to have Stothert Co-host as she’s able. They separately want to have Ewing on in late summer/early fall

I suspect they will. If Giuliano could somewhat successfully be a mayor for NYC, I'm sure Omaha is within Ewing's grasp.

Thank you all for the kind words about the show..

Personally- It was great to be back on the show after a nearly 12 year absence; but even better, having a great guest (nice to finally meet Eric in person) a great cohost and a fantastic development topic to cover..

I appreciate Brad asking me to co host with him. It was my pleasure :thumb:

Ciao..LiO…Peace
Go Cowboys!

Grow Omaha's audience grew 138% in 2025!

I love that this is becoming more well-known across the community. My dad told me over Christmas that he subscribes to their newsletter.
Grow Omaha wrote: Grow Omaha Media experienced a 138 percent increase audience size in 2025. The Grow Omaha website attracted 991,693 users and 2.94 million page-views. The Grow Omaha Weekly Market Report ended 2025 with 24,798 subscribers.

I just wish they had covered a rather large corporation expanding into Omaha, a rather large corporation moving its headquarters to Omaha or an international company establishing its US headquarters in Omaha.
Sensing a trend? Good.

Jeff told me he talked about FDR's 800'er on the Civic Site, Conagra's 900'er on the state office site and the Union Pacific/ Norfolk Southern 1000'er on the old UP site. All breaking ground in 2027. :lol:

What no Vortex?

Joking aside, it might be interesting to spitball what other companies could potentially relocate jobs via LB 1165. Kiewit perhaps?

I know it's just a typo but maybe one day Grow Omaha will be big enough to have UNTUCKit sponsor Uncut. Meanwhile, Heath did an ad of sorts for Rhoback's Omaha shirt.

Really good episode this past Saturday. If you like hearing information on the new soccer stadium, it's a must listen.
