Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Enterprises

Your Nebraska Update headlines for today, Dec. 31, include: A child in Platte County has been diagnosed with measles, the second known case in Nebraska this year and the first cases reported in the state in eight years. Health officials say the unvaccinated child may have exposed others at a church and a hospital in Columbus, NU regent plans to resign from the Board of Regents following a crash earlier this year in Omaha, where she was accused of driving drunk, State Sen. Dan McKeon continues to deny allegations of misconduct involving a legislative staffer and suggests Gov. Jim Pillen interfered with a vote to boot him from the Legislature, Gov. Pillen's administration outlines how it plans to offset decreased tax revenue amid a budget shortfall, Nebraska's minimum wage rises to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, a new law regulating how online platforms design content for children takes effect, Lee Enterprises announces the sudden retirement of its president and CEO and new $50 million investment into the company, and Gifford Farm in Bellevue expands agricultural education with a $100,000 grant.

This week, we're sharing something a bit different: Scott Milfred joins Richard Kyte and Scott Rada on "The Ethical Life," Lee Enterprises' podcast exploring ethical questions in contemporary life. Instead of the usual Center Stage format, you'll hear Milfred as a guest in a three-way conversation about predictions, accountability and what the year ahead might bring. The discussion ranges across politics, technology, sports and health care — examining not just what could happen in 2025, but why we're drawn to forecasting in the first place and what last year's predictions reveal about how we think about the future. If you're looking for the regular Center Stage interview format, we'll be back to that soon. But if you're curious to hear Milfred in a different setting, wrestling with bigger questions about uncertainty and how we make sense of what's coming, give this one a listen.

Episode 227: As the calendar turns and uncertainty once again shapes politics, technology and everyday life, The Ethical Life returns to a familiar exercise: looking ahead while holding the past accountable. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada are joined by Scott Milfred, Lee Enterprises’ national opinion editor, for a wide-ranging conversation about what the coming year may hold — and what last year’s confident calls reveal about the limits, temptations and value of prediction. The episode spans politics, pro sports, technology and health care, with the hosts weighing which forces are likely to drive headlines and which may quietly fade. Along the way, they examine how incentives, public trust and unintended consequences shape outcomes long after predictions are made. Before closing, the hosts revisit the six forecasts offered one year ago, assessing what proved prescient and what missed the mark.

We've reached the end of the year, and with 2026 coming into view, now is the perfect time to review the best of the best from 2025. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz share their favorite movies and television shows from the year. Not only will their picks help you get ready for the Golden Globes and Oscars, but there are plenty of unique choices to help you enjoy the offbeat along the way. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

Studios love to hold movies back until the end of the year to sneak into awards conversations. "Song Sung Blue" with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with "Marty Supreme" starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, are among the films trying to catch the attention of critics. Another film that hits a similar chord is "Sentimental Value," the latest film from Joachim Trier starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller catches up with Trier about the film and his overall style that allows his films to "say enough, but not too much." We also talk about the first batch of episodes of "Stranger Things," which released the first half of its season in time for the Thanksgiving break. Co-host Terry Lipshetz watched the episodes with his family and shares his thoughts about the final run.

Episode 222: When a city planner mentioned that a large, developable tract of land might contain Native American artifacts, cohost Scott Rada started wondering how communities decide which parts of the past are worth protecting — and what the costs of preservation might be for the present. This week’s episode examines the tension between honoring cultural heritage and addressing pressing human needs, such as housing. Rada and co-host Richard Kyte unpack the ethical dilemmas that surface when new development projects run up against the remnants of older civilizations. Rada argues that while respect for the past matters, society’s first responsibility should be to the living — to families who need homes, jobs and public spaces now. He questions whether stopping or slowing modern projects for the sake of long-buried artifacts truly serves anyone. Kyte counters that the choice isn’t always binary. He suggests that reverence for the dead and care for the living can coexist, and that certain places — burial grounds, ceremonial sites or historically significant landscapes — deserve deliberate protection, even if doing so requires compromise or delay. Their exchange touches on Wisconsin’s effigy and burial mounds, the ethics of archaeology and how public policy shapes what gets preserved. Kyte points out that housing shortages typically stem from decades of zoning failures, rather than from the small number of sites deemed sacred or historically valuable. Rada pushes back, asking whether reverence for what once was can sometimes become an excuse for inaction. The conversation widens to include broader cultural questions: Why do humans feel compelled to memorialize the dead? What promises do cemeteries represent to future generations? And how long should those promises last — centuries, millennia, forever? Kyte argues that physical reminders of our ancestors keep societies grounded in gratitude and perspective. Rada wonders whether our fixation on physical places distracts us from the spiritual or emotional connections that endure regardless of location. About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is also the author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)."

Although he has largely stopped writing and recording music since 1993's "River of Dreams," Billy Joel has remained a steady force on classic rock radio (or streaming) as well as at New York's Madison Square Garden. With so many documentaries and biopics popping up in recent years, it was only a matter of time before filmmakers tackled the "Piano Man." HBO's recent two-part documentary "And So It Goes" takes viewers on a journey from his roots on Long Island through four marriages, a bad record deal, financial problems and a massive catalog of pop hits. And if that wasn't enough, there's also the story of his Jewish grandparents surviving Nazi Germany. In this episode, co-host and music fan Terry Lipshetz talks the new documentary, while co-host Bruce Miller then discusses the new drama "East of Wall" that critics have been raving about. Miller also shares his interview with director Kate Beecroft and stars Tabitha Zimiga and Porscha Zuniga. The movie was filmed in South Dakota.
