Welcome to the first of four episodes highlighting Burt County in Nebraska. This one focuses a lot on the natural resources available in the area and the welcoming nature of small-town living, emphasizing the sense of community and the opportunities for outdoor activities. Amber Pallas discusses her glamping venture, Amber Lea Acres, and tells us why Burt County was definitely the place it was meant to be. Jenny Penny highlights some of the revitalization efforts and shares her excitement for Riverfront Days. Finally, Jordan Swenson covers Summit Lake and what it's like to work with the Nebraska Game and Parks to bring areas of fishing, trails, and more; plus the important role it plays on economic growth for the state.

Former radio on-air personalities, Sheila Jenkinson and Todd Studer discuss their podcasting journeys in this collaborative episode. Todd owns Loess Hills Media and Podcasts, which helps businesses and organizations create their own podcasts. He is also the host of \"Morning Coffee with Todd Studer\" which focusses on Council Bluffs, Iowa, and \"Local Routes\" exploring rural Pottawatomie County.
In the first half of this episode, Sheila interviews Todd, and then following the break the tables turn. This is a great episode to listen to to find out more about these two and their podcasts, but also to get an inside look into what it is really like to create, start, and maintain a podcast!

You'll hear about their breakfast at a retro-inspired restaurant in Homewood, a place to find hand-made chocolates and ice cream in Lansing, an award-winning brewery and restaurant in Flossmoor, a generational art glass studio in Crete, and an Irish cultural center in Oak Forest. This was a pre-FAM Trip five content creators were selected for ahead of the annual Midwest Travel Network Conference.
