    NET provides the best coverage in a podcast format of the Nebraska State Legislature and politics in Lincoln, Omaha, and the rest of the state. They were one of the first places to cover the environmental disaster caused by the AltEn ethanol plant near Mead, Nebraska. Sometimes the stories are a little dry but they are always earnest and present multiple points of view on an issue. My go-to podcast for Nebraska news.
