In the fourth episode of Season 3 of "Where I Come From" — a World-Herald podcast — host Dirk Chatelain sits down for an in-depth interview with Omaha broadcasting legend Jack Payne.
The podcast, which features extended conversations with Nebraska's most prominent and interesting sports figures, goes beyond the daily soundbites and clichés to offer access you can't get anywhere else. Who are these people and how did they get where they are? What life experiences changed them? What have they learned?
In this episode, the 95-year-old Payne discusses growing up in a graveyard in small-town Oklahoma, learning football from Bud Wilkinson and Bob Devaney, dealing with the pressure of a radio booth, his favorite College World Series moments, why he still calls games in his head and more.
