Be reminded that the Great Outdoor Radio Show is about what information you want to know about a specific topic from a special guest. Also, feel free to ask me any Nebraska Game and Parks Commission-related questions.

I look forward to chatting with you on the air. And, by the way, stay tuned for us broadcasting LIVE at various locations in and around the community as well!

This is the Great Outdoor Radio Show on-location for a LIVE remote broadcast at a large hardware store in Omaha, NE. My special guest for broadcast was former Nebraska Cornhusker football standout and Heisman Trophy winner, Eric Crouch of Omaha. Eric shared his favorite outdoor pursuits in Nebraska along with important messages for getting youth outdoors.. Photo courtesy of Gerry Gray/Great Plains Marketing.
