 "Once Again" is a new history podcast where the past meets the present.

On Thursday, May 1, 2025, the first two episodes of “Once Again” will drop with new episodes releasing each Thursday.

Senior Producer Bill Kelly is on a mission: digging through archives, dusting off documents and uncovering compelling stories that matter – once again.

Devoted history hunters and those who are casually curious about history will all find that each episode of “Once Again” revisits a fascinating chapter from recent Nebraska and Great Plains history and draws stunning parallels from the past to the present.

"As a longtime reporter, I think it’s important to view current events through the lens of history. This podcast dives deep into intriguing news stories from Nebraska’s past and connects them to today’s headlines," said "Once Again" podcast host Bill Kelly.

The new Nebraska Public Media podcast features rich sound effects, music that is specific to the history of each episode and voice actors who make the stories come alive and create a picture for the podcast listener, much like a throwback to radio theater.

"You hear creaking benches, church bells, footsteps on gravel and horses neighing. The sound becomes another character," said Nebraska Public Media Audio Engineer Emily Kreutz.

The six "Once Again" podcast episodes include:

May 1 – Meyer v. Nebraska

Nebraska law makes teaching German to children illegal in the 1920s and today the case sets legal precedent for the U.S. Supreme Court.

May 1 – The Rise and Fall of the Ak-Sar-Ben Racetrack

After 70 years, Ak-Sar-Ben shuts down an iconic Omaha horse track. Can casinos revive the horse racing industry and traditions?

May 8 – Passenger Rail Service

After 100 years, railroads left passenger service to Amtrack. Should the government expand routes and offer high-speed rail service today?

May 15 – Methodist Church Split

An Omaha minister is put on trial for conducting a same-sex wedding and today LGBTQ debate leads to a split within the United Methodist Church.

May 22 – Hallam Nuclear Plant

Nebraska’s first nuclear plant went online near Lincoln in 1962 and soon failed. Years later, the state considers a new generation of small reactors.

May 29 – Immigrant Labor

In the 1930s, Nebraska Panhandle farms recruit Mexican field workers to harvest sugar beets. Today, immigrant labor takes center stage in a divisive national debate.

  • Nebraska’s Atomic Experiment

    Nebraska’s Atomic Experiment
    2025/05/29
    In 1962, homes and businesses in Nebraska received electricity generated by nuclear energy for the very first time. The Hallam nuclear power plant, known as Sheldon Station, was a demonstration project of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in partnership with Consumers Public Power. It was one of the first nuclear plants in America. Its unique design made it the first and only sodium-graphite reactor to work in tandem with a traditional coal-powered generator. In this episode of Once Again, we share the story of a power plant that was shut down after only two years, which could be considered either an innovative experiment or a technological failure. The remains of the reactor are buried just a few miles from the state capital. Now, the science behind the Hallam plant is being revisited as the Nebraska Public Power District considers expanding the availability of nuclear power with a new generation of small reactors.

  • A Church Divided

    A Church Divided
    2025/05/15
    In the 1990s, a Methodist Church in Omaha began blending talk of religion with talk about sexual orientation – a conversation far out of the norm. Next came a controversial wedding. Normally a happy occasion, it quickly turned ugly, and the pastor who performed the wedding ended up on trial, cracking the foundation of the Methodist Church. The fight within the church spanned months with Reverend Jimmy Creech front and center. In this episode of ‘Once Again’, Nebraska Public Media’s Bill Kelly shares the story of how that same-sex wedding in Omaha led to the Methodist denomination breaking apart internationally.

  • Riding the Train in Style

    Riding the Train in Style
    2025/05/08
    Since the tracks were built, trains have moved goods across America around the clock – traveling through big cities and small towns alike. But the history of passenger rail in the United States is not so cut and dry. People have long shown interest in hopping aboard a train, and in the early 1900s, it was the only way to get from one coast to the other. Through the middle of the century, a trip by rail was viewed as glamorous. But by the 1970s, the business turned so unprofitable that the government was forced to take it over, creating the Amtrak service. Now, demand has Once Again increased for rail travel, with more and more people thinking of punching a ticket. Nebraska Public Media’s Bill Kelly climbs aboard the California Zephyr to explain the history of passenger rail in America and how its future might hang in the balance.
