Welcome to Louped In—the podcast that keeps you connected to the people and stories shaping Columbus, Nebraska. Hosted by Matt Lindberg, Public Communications Manager, and Betsy Eckhardt, Parks and Recreation Director, each episode features conversations with local leaders, changemakers, and community champions.
This week, we’re joined by Charlie Bahr, longtime City Council Member representing Ward 1. With over 20 years of service on the council, Charlie reflects on the changes he’s seen in Columbus, the challenges and rewards of public service, and what keeps him motivated to serve. Outside of City Hall, Charlie is also a dedicated volunteer with Scouting America, helping guide the next generation of leaders.
Tune in and stay Louped In—because the people who help lead Columbus have stories worth hearing.
