Omaha Fall has, um, fallen here in Omaha. Sure, autumn is still technically a week away. But brisk weather had Jeff and Dusty all bundled up and buzzing about — what else? — the weather for episode No. 106 of the Weekly Wrap-Up, or the "first day of freezing cold" episode, as Dusty dubbed it.

They even hatched an idea for next week's show that you'll probably want to go ahead … read more

In the centennial episode, Jeff and Dusty touched briefly on Thinc Iowa. But, more than bringing their traditional take … read more
