Episode #53: Lincoln Airport Authority: Dave Haring and Rachel Barth

This month, I am sitting down with Dave Haring, Executive Director of the Lincoln Airport Authority, and Rachel Barth, Director of Communications and Customer Engagement. We take a closer look at a ballot measure for commercial airports across the state. If passed, Constitutional Amendment 1 would give local governments control of how airport funding is used, leading to more airline options and increased customer satisfaction. Tune in to learn more about this initiative and be sure to get out and vote on November 8.

What Are We Drinking?

Barrel Aged Krostoberfest – Kros Strain Brewing Co, La Vista, Nebraska
5.5% ABV, 25.0 IBU, märzen.
“We took our recipe for a German-style märzen and cold lagered in red wine and whiskey barrels.”

Berry Lemon Sour – CODE Beer, Lincoln, Nebraska 4.8% ABV
“Wheat-based sour ale using lactobacillus and fruit with lots of blueberry and lemon. Its alluring color draws you in while the fruit-forward tartness and light finish keeps you coming back for more.”

Why the Broadway Musical SUFFS Is More Important Than Ever

Broadway actor Marya Grandy and the Lied Center’s Executive Director Bill Stephan join the show to discuss Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who fought for the right to vote. We explore the overlooked history behind the suffrage movement, the show’s modern political resonance, and why its message about activism, democracy, and persistence still feels urgent today.
