  • Weekly Wrap-Up: Post-Thinc Iowa, pre-Halloween spooky sounds show

    We recorded Episode 111 of the Weekly Wrap-Up on Friday and intended to deliver it to you sooner, but, um… it took a lot of time in post-production to perfect the Halloween-themed sound effects we included in the show? OK, maybe not. There wasn’t a whole lot of (read: any) post-production sound editing involved. But…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The one where Jeff prepares to make his biggest ask

    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. Although…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The one after SPN won the kickball tournament

    On account of some technical difficulties, our latest Weekly Wrap-Up video is hitting the site a tad later than normal. So we’ll put function over form here and eschew our usual attempts at WWU humor in favor of a more utilitarian introduction: Jeff and Dusty hosted. (Insert current events joke here.) It was our 105th…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: Cruising down the 101

    In terms of noteworthy 101s, today’s Weekly Wrap-Up was right up there with the likes of Cruella De Vil’s desired dalmatians and the West Coast’s marquee motorway. Or something like that. Yeah, so we’re hurting for a unique intro to today’s show. So, yeah, we’re milking the whole “close enough to the 100th WWU to…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The 100th Episode

    In a show that featured a cavalcade of cameos and non-stop nostalgia, the Weekly Wrap-Up celebrated its 100th episode Friday, live from the Silicon Prairie News third birthday bash. Admittedly, it’s taken us a little longer than we would have liked to post this video of the show, but, hey … sometimes that’s the price…

  • Live-streaming: Weekly Wrap-Up episode No. 100 at 4:30 p.m.

    Sometimes, a moment is simply so sublime, so momentous, so transcendent that it’s dubbed “too big for words.” But this post clearly contains words — probably many more than it needs to, in fact — so the whole too-big-for-words description doesn’t apply here. Nonetheless, we think the moment that’s the motivation for this post, our…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: Inching ever closer to our centennial episode

    Just like that, it appears, we’re one Weekly Wrap-Up episode away from triple digits, three bills, a hundo, a Benjamin — episode 100. Thanks to the detective work of a crack team of WWU sleuths — first Robert Murphy and, more recently, Corey Spitzer — Jeff and I learned before hosting today’s WWU that it…
