For over three decades journalist Chris Burbach reported for the Omaha World-Herald and other media outlets, covering a variety of beats and the human stories that reveal what a place and its people are really made of. His own story is just as interesting: small-town childhood, a large Catholic family, a high school seminary, student journalism, service in the Philippines, raising children in Omaha, and teaching English to immigrant and refugee adults. Listen to our conversation about journalism, faith, humor, service, and what a lifetime of listening teaches us.
