Hoosier History Live pre-empted by UIndy graduation
What to do this Saturday at noon? Try listening to our podcasts!
What will Hoosier History Live fans do this Saturday when their favorite radio show is pre-empted by the UIndy graduation ceremony?
If you haven't tried listening to our show by podcast, now would be a great time to check out this convenient, easy way to listen with a computer or smartphone instead of a radio.
One easy way to access our podcasts: Just tell your smartphone or smart speaker "Play Hoosier History Live." Another great way: download an app like Apple Podcasts or Stitcher and subscribe through them.
If you prefer a slightly lower-tech approach, here are a few other options for finding our podcasts:
- Look for the recent show podcast links ("Click here to listen to the podcast") at the top of each newsletter and our website. There they are, just above our top story for the week.
- Go to the Archives link on our website, located a little below the big yellow Hoosier History Live banner. Clicking that link will take you to an extensive listing of shows available as podcasts, stretching back to 2019. Once you're on the Archives page, you can even search by keywords, like "Benjamin Harrison," to find a show you're interested in.
- And with spring in the air, may we suggest a few podcasts with nature themes, listed below? We hope they'll inspire you to get out and enjoy the beauty of spring in Indiana!
