There were no guests this week on Oh My! Omaha The Podcast, which was planned, I promise. Dee and I took the chance to share are favorite things about spring in Omaha. We each talked about the things we do every spring and the events we look forward to happening each spring.
We also talked about concerts and awesome concert venues in Omaha. Dee is looking forward to seeing Goose at the Steelhouse Omaha (June 10) and I’m looking forward to Andrew Bird at The Astro Amphitheater (July 12). That conversation led to us sharing our first concert experiences (mine was New Kids on the Block and Dee’s was Rancid).
* I’ll have the transcript available for download soon!
