Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts is starting a podcast. He says he’s doing it to appeal to the different ways people are consuming media.


Ricketts released the first episode of “The Nebraska Way” podcast Wednesday morning on SoundCloud. The inaugural episode features a forty-minute conversation with U.S. Senator Deb Fischer. Ricketts said the podcast won’t be political discussions, rather a great way to keep track of what’s happening in Nebraska.

“If you have an interest in what’s going on around the state," Ricketts said, "it’s going to be a great way to find interesting stories about how we’re growing Nebraska and keep up on what’s going on about the issues that are going to impact your life."

Ricketts said future episodes will feature conversations with a rancher about the difficulties of agriculture, Zac Triemert, the owner of Brickway Brewery, and former Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr. Ricketts hasn’t decided how often the podcasts will be released. He said he will experiment and see what works best.
