  What the Flock....Data Centers?

  Aug 21, 202628 min

  Indianapolis just hit the pause button on new data centers until the end of 2027 — but three big projects are still moving ahead. On this episode, City-County Councilor Michael Paul Hart breaks down why a blanket moratorium could cost the city economically, how water, noise, and diesel concerns really work, and why “data center” has become a political dirty word. We also get into Flock license plate cameras and police drones — how IMPD actually uses them, what they can (and can’t) see, and where privacy and public safety collide in Indianapolis.

  Tired of Politics, Try Penrod

  Aug 21, 202610 min

  Indy Politics takes a break from the political grind to talk with Tom Askey, 2026 Penrod Art Fair chairman, about one of the country’s largest single-day art fairs at Newfields in Indianapolis. They dig into what makes Penrod special, how the all-volunteer organization turns art into grants for local schools and programs, and why original, non-AI art still matters. If you need a mental reset from campaigns and controversies, this conversation is your ticket to the fair.

  Engling Ballard Bayh Shillings

  Aug 18, 202656 min

  “Do no harm” was the quiet strategy at a OneZone Chamber of Commerce forum in Fishers, where the four candidates for Indiana Secretary of State largely stayed on script and used their life stories — professional and personal — to argue they’re best suited to run the office.

  Let's Talk with Lauri

  Aug 17, 202618 min

  Libertarian Party candidate Lauri Shillings joins the show to talk about her campaign for Indiana Secretary of State, one of this year’s marquee statewide races. Shillings lays out her case as a working‑class alternative to the two major parties, saying Hoosiers want someone outside the “regular system” running elections and overseeing business services. She defends Indiana’s voter ID law but calls for practical fixes for college students, pushes for more transparency in post‑election audits, and wants a modern, user‑friendly state portal so voters can easily see who’s on the ballot, who’s funding them, and how money moves in Indiana politics.
