Scoop or Shovel?
Curious Nebraska
Air Date: 01/18/2025
What do you do when snow falls on your driveway? If you ask Nebraska Public Media producer Andy Hermann, he shovels it. But over time, he tends to pick up words and phrases from the different places he's lived over the years. Does this mean he'll be scooping the snow next time it falls?
Guests, in order of appearance:
- Cicely Wardyn (Lincoln, Neb.);
- Barb Bierman-Batie, freelance writer and photographer (Lexington, Neb.); and
- Matthew Gordon, professor of English, University of Missouri (Columbia, Mo.).
