Episode Details

Lincoln’s unsung heroes are stepping into the spotlight this week—artists, volunteers, and everyday neighbors turning the city into a warmer, brighter place. From women entrepreneurs reviving College View with charm and flavor, to the Near South Tool Library democratizing access to tools, the stories spotlight resilience and resourcefulness. Meet Amanda Aldridge, who cooks hundreds of fresh meals daily for kids and staff at Head Start, and a couple celebrating 75 years of love, proving that teamwork and friendship endure. We also honor Joseph Wright, retiring after 40 years of safeguarding Lincoln—including 13 as school district security chief—and Rich Carlson, a chaplain whose decades of compassion have anchored families through life’s toughest moments. These are the quiet forces that build community—one act, one story, one neighbor at a time.
