Nebraska Stories tells compelling personal stories of Nebraskans around the state, the life stories of Nebraska artists, and historical and contemporary stories. Video and descriptions for future episode segments will be added as they become available.
This half-hour “magazine-style” series presents new, short-form video segments, highlighting people, ideas and events that inform Nebraskans’ sense of place and their unique perspective on American life as it is lived on the Great Plains.
Nebraska Stories is NET Television’s plan to present audiences both on-air and online with a half-hour monthly series that will combine the best original production with selected excerpts from the wealth of material in the NET Heritage Library archive of programming about our state.
