New episodes explore the history behind Nebraska innovations, political change and cultural moments that still resonate.
In Platte County, a young inventor patents a machine that transforms farming around the world. America’s only one-house, non-partisan legislature begins in 1934 as a hard sell from a political legend. And the story wrapped in the tin foil of a TV dinner may not be the version you know.
Season 2 of Once Again revisits Nebraska and Great Plains stories that still resonate today. New episodes explore the invention of center pivot irrigation and questions surrounding groundwater depletion, the farm crisis that shook rural America, the long and complicated history of the electric chair and UFO sightings that still don’t have easy answers.
In the podcast series, host Bill Kelly connects the past to some of today’s biggest conversations about politics, agriculture, technology, food and culture. The stories began decades ago, but their influence is still seen in today’s headlines.
