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!

On this episode of Sheila’s Shoutouts, spring makes me feel like shopping. We’ll visit the gift shop in Fremont Nebraska that expanded into two connected shops with selections from classic to quirky, downtown Norfolk is home to a gift shop popular with the locals and online shoppers, and a unique boutique shopping experience in Bassett with an old dime store feel! All that shopping makes me hungry, so let’s talk about food. Good food. And a lot of it - at a restaurant you won’t soon forget in Ericson.
