Podcast now "up" RE: June 5, 2021 radio show
June 16, 2021: See Update below this preview information for a direct link to the podcast.
The following announcement from our local Hendricks County Indiana weekly newspaper, The Republican. (Before anyone gets too excited about politics, know that The Republican has been published continuously since 1847! So it predates today's Republican political party, which did not exist until about a decade after the newspaper's inception.)
Update June 16, 2021:
If you're interested, here's a direct link to the 59-minute "Car Collecting in Indiana" podcast of the June 5, 2021, Hoosier History Live radio show on which I was the guest of host Nelson Price. The topic is easily understood from the title. It was a lot of fun.
The introduction says the podcast was underwritten by The Studebaker National Museum, but it didn't cost the museum anything, so donors to that worthy enterprise need not fear their donations being frittered away. Rather, I paid for the podcast's underwriting on behalf of the museum, as a donation to the museum. (The invoice never went to The Studebaker National Museum; it was paid here.)
I was discouraged from promoting our 2021 Studebaker Drivers Club International Meet in September 2021 because that would date the show. If we talked about that event, which I wanted to, this podcast, which is archived forever, would be obsolete after the meet. The show's producer and host didn't want that, so the 2021 SDC International Meet wasn't mentioned. Know that not mentioning it wasn't my idea, although I do understand and endorse the reasoning.
However, it looks like The Studebaker National Museum and The [Northern Indiana] History Museum's Concours de Elegance at Copshaholm will be held every summer, probably in July, so I was able to [ahem, immodestly...] promote that event as "Now, the premier collector car event in Indiana..." but did not mention the specific July 10, 2021 date of this year's production.
Trivia: The second caller identified himself as "Ron; Bob's old buddy from The Purdue Reamer Club." That turned out to be one Ron Witt, whom I had not spoken to for about 40 years! No particular reason; we just hadn't stayed in touch. The trivia is that Ron and his [then] girlfriend Janet were the couple who introduced Cari and I on a blind date in December 1968: Janet and Cari were roommates at I.U; Ron and I were friends from pledging The Purdue Reamer Club together. After the show, I got Ron's information from the show's producer and called him, and we spent the better part of an hour getting caught up. Small world!

That's right, Bob.

Out for coffee; the same person who put an "n" at the end of the word audio in the last sentence....
