It's our 200th episode, and we're doing something a little different this week. In this episode, Michael Griffin is in conversation with producer Courtney Bierman. A quick note on episode numbers: if you're listening to the podcast version of this show, you'll notice it lists this episode as number 218. That's because show creator Tom Knoblauch started the count when Riverside Chats was a series of live conversations in Benson. We're counting from the first episode that played on KIOS airwaves in 2020. Bierman, an Omaha native, graduated from the University of Kansas in 2019 with degrees in journalism and film. While at KU, she served as the arts and culture editor for the University Daily Kansan and completed a summer internship at KCUR, Kansas City's NPR member station. She joined KIOS in 2020 and hosts programming every weekday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.. In addition to Riverside Chats, she produces the local shows Faturday Omaha, Lives and The Entertainment. Bierman also works weekends at Film Streams. You can find her behind the concessions counter at either location, and she'd love it if you said hello. Bierman and Griffin discuss the behind-the-scenes production process in radio, the organizational structure of KIOS, and whether it is too late for her to become a film critic.

Erin Feichtinger is policy director of the Women's Fund of Omaha. In this episode, she's in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about history (in which she has a Ph.D. from Loyola University Chicago) and politics, including Governor Pillen's vision for Nebraska and how it's panning out after a contentious state legislative session. This episode was recorded before the 2024 general election. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Today's episode features a conversation between Tom Knoblauch and Matthew Wurstner, an attorney from Omaha, Nebraska. If you've ever watched Supreme Court proceedings, a word that you've heard a lot is "precedent." How much does precedent matter? How much should we revere the standards of the past, and how much should we look to rewrite the rules of the future? These questions don't have firm answers, but people have strong opinions about them — particularly in an age of gridlocked Congress and a historically empowered Supreme Court. Matthew Wurstner is back on the show to discuss the concept of precedent. What is it? Where does it come from? What are the arguments for and against it? Wurstner is a partner at the law firm Carlson Blakeman in Omaha. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

If you follow Omaha politics, you likely know Dr. Erin Feichtinger--or at least her tweets. Feichtinger has a PhD in history and currently serves as policy director at the Women's Fund of Omaha, and she has made it a mission to shine a light on the details, drama, and triumphs of our local power structures. In this time of political dysfunction, often at the national and the local level, Feichtinger talks with Tom Knoblauch about what history can offer us to understand today and what all of this means for the future. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Filmmaker Tony Bonacci previously appeared on the show when his acclaimed short, The Headliner, made festival rounds in 2018. Even then, he was adamant that he would turn that story into a feature alongside the short's writer, Christine Burright, and its star, Darrick Silkman. Several years and one global pandemic later, he has. Bonacci's feature film debut, also titled The Headliner, is premiering on Saturday March 2nd at ⁠this year's Omaha Film Festival⁠. On this week's show, Bonacci talks with Tom Knoblauch about putting the feature together and what to expect at this year's Omaha Film Festival premiere. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Today on KIOS at the Movies, guest host Tom Knoblauch, of “Riverside Chats” and “The Entertainment,” sits down with Joshua LaBure to discuss his latest film, “The Instrument in Six Movements,” set to premiere at Benson Theatre on February 23rd.

Countless times on this show, guests have told stories about getting into politics or made new art or even rethouth their lives in relation to the seismic shift that was 2016. On today's show, Theodore Wheeler is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about how that year and its anxieties led him to write The War Begins in Paris--an antifascist novel about friendship, family, propaganda, and foreign correspondents in Europe in the lead-up to World War II. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

The funny thing about genres like alt, punk, indie is that there was a point when these things were directly in opposition to something mainstream and corporate, but then somewhere along the way they became styles and aesthetics that could also be mainstream. It's not always clear what it means to be alt-rock or alt-country these days or even how to listen to an album in the streaming age where our music habits are changing so rapidly all the time. On today's show, Tom Knoblauch is in conversation with Julia Steiner, whose band Ratboys just released a new album called The Window, about the always-shifting music landscape, the construction of an album, and how she developed her unique style over the past decade. Ratboys will be playing at the Reverb Lounge on October 19th. Tickets can be found here. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

The Flatwater Film Festival is an annual event committed to bringing together established and first-time filmmakers from across the state of Nebraska to celebrate their art by providing a non-competitive platform that showcases their work, to develop a strong community that promotes inspiration and support, and ultimately to foster the next generation of Nebraska filmmakers. The 2023 festival will be held October 6-8 at the historic Rivoli Theatre in downtown Seward, NE. On today's show, Tom Knoblauch talks with festival founders Joshua Weixelman and Greg Gale about the state of Nebraska's film scene, how it has changed over the past two decades, and what to expect at this year's Flatwater Film Festival. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Money is nice, right? It's fun to buy things. But there are contexts where you'd hope that the equation is more complicated than dollar equals result, like medicine or politics. In particular, Nebraska has been the focus of several concerns about the line between money and political results. Today Jack Gould from Common Cause Nebraska is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about the influence of lobbyists and special interest groups in our state legislature--as well as what can be done to improve the problems of money in our politics. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Last year, author, screenwriter, and host of Studio 360 Kurt Andersen joined Riverside Chats to discuss his two volume explanation of America, Fantasyland and Evil Geniuses. In that conversation, he mentioned that he was working on a third part to this series, which would be fictional. He wouldn't give away any details at the time, but it turns out that he was working on Command Z, a new 8 part web series directed by Steven Soderbergh. The show follows a team from the 2050s who can transport their consciousnesses back into people today to try to reverse the trends leading to catastrophes of climate, economics, income inequality, and more. Today Andersen is back in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about how the series came to be, what Soderbergh could bring to the Andersen's diagnosis of the American present, and then how a show like this can impact viewers in a bleak political environment. All episodes of Command Z are available now at commandzseries.com. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

If you've ever had Adult Swim on at night and wondered what in the world you're watching, there's a good chance you've seen something created by Tim Heidecker. He got his start making bizarre sketch series like Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Tom Goes to the Mayor, and On Cinema. Since then, he's appeared in several movies, such as Us, Bridesmaids, and The Comedy and he's extended his On Cinema universe into the film Mister America and a new subscription service called the Hei Network. His latest turn in a multifaceted career is to a live tour–but maybe not quite in the way you'd expect. Half of his show has him in character as a bumbling, awkward comedian failing to connect with the audience. Then the rest of the show is genuine, authentic music written by Heidecker and performed with his Very Good Band. Today Heidecker is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about artifice and authenticity, how he harnesses both, and the decision to bundle them in his Two Tims Tour, which you can see at the Admiral on August 23. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Nebraska prides itself on its Unicameral, which in theory reduces partisanship by forcing cooperation and moderation. That is, unless it doesn't. In the headlines from this year's legislative session, a common concern was whether partisanship had finally overtaken the body. Was this a breaking point? A sign of the future? Just a fluke year? It can be difficult to tell in a vacuum, so today's show has Tom Knoblauch in conversation with attorney Wes Dodge to parse through what happened, why it happened, and what it means for Nebraska going forward. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Satire uses exaggeration to critique something about the world we live in, but what happens if the world is crazier than any satirist can come up with? How does one parody, as Kurt Andersen has put it, "the greatest self-parodists of all time"? On today's show, Tom Knoblauch is in conversation with Geitner Simmons, author of the new book, Android Run, a sci-fi thriller with a heavy dose of satire to discuss the societal role of fiction, journalism, and the pervasive absurdity no one can escape. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

In the Midwest, we love our cars: fast cars, big cars, small cars, loud cars, quiet cars, different cars for different occasions like shoes. Car culture, in other words, is often indistinguishable from Midwest culture, and has been for so long that it feels natural. But what if it's not? On today's show, Daniel Knowles makes the case that cars are ruining the world while making us unhappy and unhealthy—the subject of his new book, Carmageddon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What to Do About It. Talking with Tom Knoblauch, Knowles outlines the rise of cars around the world, their economic and health impacts, how this warps the design of cities, and what it might look like to envision a future reliant on public transportation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Because Nebraska has been the birthplace of a relatively small number of Hollywood legends, you end up hearing the same names over and over again. And one name anyone listening to this has likely heard of, whether or not they've watched the movies, is Fred Astaire. Astaire was born in Omaha in 1899 and went on to star on stage and screen in a number of highly acclaimed musicals and Hollywood's Golden Age, such as Top Hat and Swing Time. What you may not know is that Fred Astaire had a sister, Adele Astaire, who was also a successful dancer. On today's show, Tom Knoblauch is in conversation with Eliza Knight, whose new novel is Starring Adele Astaire, delving into the life and career of this often overlooked historical figure. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Today we talk money. Who has it and how does it impact on our world? With Sociologist Rory Hearne, doughnut economics expert RoisIn Markham, environmentalist Duncan Stewart, PDST young economist Tom Knoblauch and our brilliant Brain Trust.

Audiences are very concerned with genres–is it a comedy? Is it drama? Is there sci-fi? Especially when it comes to works of art that emulate life, it can be difficult to say our lives fit into neat genres. Life is often difficult, funny, scary, and sweet–sometimes within a few hours. Today Megan Tady is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about her new book, Super Bloom, which balances tragedy, humor, and insight on how we move forward and reinvent ourselves through art. The book follows massage therapist Joan Johnston, who is grieving the death of her boyfriend as she works at an iconic Vermont spa and finds a way forward through writing, and it is available now wherever you get books. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Paul Thomas Anderson may be one of the last American auteurs. The term, which means author in French, grew out of the French New Wave and eventually made its way to America by the 1960s where the director asserted control and authorship over his–and it often was his–films. The concept has come to represent a kind of rebellion against the corporate content machine, a lone, independent cowboy of authenticity in the arts. And yet today, while the theory is still around, it's difficult for a filmmaker to sustain commercial viability as a brand while the film industry finds itself shifting in the streaming age. On today's show, Ethan Warren, whose new book is The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson: American Apocrypha, is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about the changing landscape of American cinema, the legacy of Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed films like There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, and Boogie Nights, and what his influence on the medium might be going forward. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

It's not unusual among educated Nebraskans to hold the expectation that, if you're an ambitious young person in this state, you'll leave. This is within a moment where, over the past decade, the Nebraska Examiner has reported that “more people have continued to leave than enter Nebraska from other states, and the loss is heavily those with an education level of at least a bachelor's degree.” Today Dr. Josie Schafer, director of the Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about her research on Nebraska's concerning demographic trends, the root causes of brain drain, and what steps may be taken to mitigate concerns as job requirements shift over the coming decades.

In Nebraska, it's extremely common to be late to the party as far as pretty much all social trends go--or to miss the party entirely. But medical uses of marijuana have been legalized in 37 states, and it looks like the movement has a kind of national momentum that Nebraska will continue to grapple with in the years to come. We've seen proponents of medical marijuana produce ballot measures and introduce bills at the legislature for nearly a decade now. The fight isn't going away. So what is the deal with medical cannabis? Today Crista Eggers is in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about being an activist for medical marijuana here in a state whose officials often oppose and attack the concept. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

A lot of media is not especially interested in discourse.

In 2023, journalism exists in this precarious space, driven by clicks and corporate ownership and punditry–none of which are new, but, in the social media age, what constitutes news at all has become a source of conflict.

Music is everywhere. It's hard to imagine that there was a point where you couldn't constantly listen to music, a time before recordings of music even existed.

This show is ostensibly about the Midwest. The culture we create. The culture we consume. The way culture leads to art, to politics, and to history. But the Midwest can be a squishy concept without obvious shape or definition. Jon Lauck hopes to change that through his work contextualizing the overlooked cultural story and influence of the Midwest. He teaches history and political science at the University of South Dakota and is the author of The Good Country: A History of the American Midwest. In this conversation with Tom Knoblauch, Lauck outlines his mission to establish a new historical discourse grounded in fair readings of the American past by locating a middle ground in the center of the country. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

Today, on KIOS at the Movies, Joshua LaBure is joined by, Tom Knoblauch, of Riverside Chats to discuss the new Netflix film from Noah Baumbach, White Noise based on the 1985 Don DeLillo novel of the same name.

If you've been listening to Riverside Chats for a while, you've heard conversations with a lot of people running for office. Some of them got elected. A lot didn't. The kind of people who want this platform, to have an hour on the radio, are often ones looking to break into the political scene or to move from a lower level to something more prominent. But Nebraska, just like the country at large, often instead reelects incumbents. So though this show has highlighted many visions for a significantly changed Nebraska (and country in general), the truth is that things mostly look the same here year after year. So why is that? Today, Ja Keen Fox returns for a conversation with Tom Knoblauch about his theory of romantic activism, the lessons he has learned from organizing and working in the community in a time of Democratic defeat, and what he sees as the way out of Nebraska's political stasis. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/riversidechats/support

Kurt Andersen has been exploring the nature of American culture throughout his varied career, from co-founding Spy Magazine, writing for Time and The New Yorker, writing several novels, hosting the public radio show Studio 360, and most comprehensively through his recent two volume history of America: Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire and Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America.

Ballot initiatives can be a pain to read and to put in context, so today's show is an in-depth look at two of the initiatives on this year's ballot, 433 and 432: their scope, the reasons why they made the ballot, and what it means for Nebraska if they pass or fail. In the first part of today's show, Maria Corpuz talks with Senator Terrell McKinney about Initiative 433, which would incrementally increase the state's minimum wage from $9 to $15 by 2026. Then, Tom Knoblauch talks with Heather Engdahl, director of voting rights at Civic Nebraska, about Initiative 432, which would amend Article I of the Nebraska Constitution to require voters to present valid photo identification in order to vote. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/riversidechats/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/riversidechats/support

If you've ever voted before, you probably were really excited or scared about a couple of candidates at the top of the ballot. We talk all the time on this show about how a healthy democracy requires some investment in the less splashy stuff lower on the ballot too–like the county attorney or municipal board director–but another element of the ballot that can cause headaches for the average, not particularly nerdy voter is the section with initiatives. Ballot initiatives are often written in dense, complex syntax that make it difficult to decipher what exactly you're voting for. Even if you understand the basic argument, it's not always clear what their implications are or how voting either way will affect you. So we thought it'd be worth taking a show to dissect to talk about that annoying, boring section of the ballot that you'll see this November.
