    Secretary of State Elections, Flock Cameras and Data Centers | Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail In Part 2 of our conversation with Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, Nick and Jason move from faith and politics to the local issues Hoosiers are arguing about right now. We start with a viewer's question about ICE and whether local and state police should help. Micah then talks about data centers and who should pay for the land and power they use, Flock license plate cameras and the Fourth Amendment, and the upcoming Secretary of State election. He also looks back on his years in a touring band, talks about what he wants his legacy to be, and explains why he'd like to be a pastor again someday. Hosted by Nick Williams and Jason Yocum.

    Faith and Power in Indiana | Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, Part 1

    Send us Fan Mail Micah Beckwith is Indiana's 53rd Lieutenant Governor, and he's still a pastor. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Nick and Jason ask him how those two roles fit together. Micah talks about how a worship pastor won the Lt. Governor nomination at the state convention, why he thinks pastors should talk about politics, and where he says the line is between faith in public life and forcing religion on anyone. Nick and Jason put the "theocracy" question to him directly. He also covers his path from a dairy family to the pulpit, his work on agriculture and rural development, foster care, and his July sermon, "How to Hate Properly."

    I Should Have Been in That Car

    Send us Fan Mail The night Jason Yocum hit a half-court shot at the buzzer, two of his friends were killed in a car crash. He was supposed to be in that car. This time Nick's co-host is the guest. Jason grew up outside Macy, Indiana, and played for North Miami. In the last regular-season game of his senior year, on the road at Culver Military Academy, he pulled up from half court with the game tied. He tells the story of that shot, the car he never got into, and how one night turned a kid most people called "least likely to succeed" toward basketball, school and coaching. Also in this episode: the dad who turned a chicken yard into his first court, a hitchhiker his father picked up who may or may not have been D.B. Cooper, the coach who wouldn't let him coast, why he tells kids not to put all their eggs in the sports basket, and the Travis Tritt concert he wishes he'd gone to.

    Most People Who Want AI Don't Actually Need It

    Send us Fan Mail Paul Malott builds AI automation for a living, and he'll tell you that more often than not, the business asking for AI ends up needing a simpler fix to how it already works. Nick and Jason talk with Paul, founder and CEO of Automations 24, about what AI actually is, where it helps, and where it gets in the way. Paul spent 15 years in procurement before he started automating small businesses, and he brings that process-first view to everything from ChatGPT to whether AI is coming for your job. Also in this episode: why AI will tell you exactly what you want to hear, the fake LinkedIn profiles companies build to sell to you, why hustle alone doesn't get you there anymore, and what happens to real conversation when a chatbot does the talking.

    AI Made the Music. He Wrote the Words. Who's the Artist?

    Send us Fan Mail He writes every word. AI makes the music. So who's the artist? J.S. Clockwise has written poetry for decades, always in rhyme and meter. He self-published a book of poems, and for about a year now he's been turning them into songs with generative AI and releasing the music. Nick and Jason talk with him about: - Judging every lyric by whether it sounds like something Leonard Cohen would say - Why making an AI song means dozens, sometimes hundreds, of versions - Giving the machine credit for the melody while keeping the words his own - A fan's autograph request, and a stranger who was sure a song was about her - His answer to people who say AI music isn't real music Follow Mosaic Minds Podcast for more conversations like this.

    I Wasn't Brave. I Was Just Numb.

    Send us Fan Mail At 50, exhausted from two abusive marriages and a career spent taking care of everyone but herself, Pamela Topjian sold almost everything she owned, bought a one-way bus ticket, and left home not knowing where she'd land. Ten years later, she's a published author, a podcast host, and living what she calls the first equal, respectful marriage of her life. In this episode, Pamela and Jason talk through the bus ride that changed everything, why she says she wasn't brave — just numb — and what actually happens in the years after you survive the thing that almost broke you. About Pamela: She spent 14 years as a nurse before becoming a certified hypnotherapist and, later, a pet-sitting business owner. She's the author of two memoirs — "I Didn't Come This Far to Only Come This Far" and "Behind the Mask, Gloves, and Scrubs: One Nurse's Journey" — and hosts the Holistic Connections podcast, featuring conversations with holistic practitioners.

    He's Been in 125 Indiana Gyms. He Wants All 410 by Age 30. | Grant Shouse

    Send us Fan Mail Grant Shouse is 22 years old and has been inside 125 high school gyms in Indiana. He wants to be inside every one of them — somewhere north of 410 — before he turns 30. He's also the inaugural radio voice of the Kokomo Creek Chubs, the city's brand-new Prospect League team, and he calls high school football and basketball across Grant, Wabash and Miami counties for Action Sports Network. Jason sat down with him to talk about the part of the job nobody sees: what the schedule costs a 22-year-old, why he can't stand listening to his own tape, and the high school football finish he still can't explain — a lateral, a flag, an untimed down, a Hail Mary, and overtime, in a first-round sectional game that ended up on Pat McAfee's show. Along the way: the rule he invented for whether a gym counts, the man three times his age who convinced him the goal was reachable, why an announcer goes quiet for forty-five seconds after the biggest call of the game, and the reason his dad wanted his middle name to be Espen — spelled E-S-P-N.

    He Wasn't Supposed to Survive. Now He Fishes Professionally. | Hunter Baughman

    Send us Fan Mail At nine months old, Hunter Baughman's parents were told he had a zero percent chance of surviving bacterial meningitis. He's now closing out his sixth season on the National Professional Fishing League. He barely mentions any of that here. Jason talks with Hunter about the work instead — six-day tournament weeks, three daughters under six riding along, Sunday morning church service at the boat ramp, and the 2022 season that nearly ended his career before a win in Missouri bought him another year. Also in this one: why he'd rather fish the hardest tournament on the schedule, the livewell rule he uses to reset after a bad hour, and why the sponsors from outside the fishing industry are the ones he brags on.
