    2026/09/03
    Episode 457 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now. Host voices are Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Zach Burcham. This week the podcast guest is Dr Chris Wilkey, Director of the Ball State University of Professional Selling. We discuss the ways that Ball State makes an impact on surrounding communities, including Henry County. His sales program recruits local students into the program, and they leave with a four year degree and great opportunities for jobs in our area, often with nearly six figure incomes immediately. So much talk about how difficult the career market is, however with some flexibility the jobs are available, and in Indiana. Chris Wilkey is also heavily involved in the community, particularly through the Elks Lodge, and he highlights some programs that their grants have provided. Including a children's coat program that provides new winter coats to every child in Henry County, if interested. Additionally they operate a tiny food pantry, and have been getting classroom snacks out this school year for kids all over New Castle. In sports, Alex Palou just won his 5th IndyCar Championship, Pato O’Ward completed the Milwaukee double. Ball State is headed into Columbus for a brutal match up against Ohio State. Indiana is about to start its new football season, as the national champion…Can they repeat? A review of the schedule says they have a great opportunity. Finally, the Colts season is about to start and their new Wide Receiver Keenan Allen is already making the wrong headlines as he was arrested for DUI in downtown Indianapolis after his first preseason game.

Our featured guest is Allen Migliorini who is from North West Indiana and does work with Shriners charities across the country and the incredible children's hospitals that they operate all over the world. The big story this week is the unbelievable rains that landed on Henry County. 12-17” of rain fell on our county, stressing every piece of infrastructure in the area. Homes filled with water, culverts fell, roads washed out, many main arteries in the area were shut down, and as of the time of recording some citizens are still trapped in their neighborhoods because there is simply no access to their homes. We highlight personal stories of wet basements, downed power lines, roads closed due to trees splitting and property damage due to high winds. First responders have been deploying watercraft to rescue people from Knightstown to New Castle.A few weeks back the BHOL team had the 50 States Draft. What could be more on brand for the podcast than a 92 Indiana County draft? With Allen Migliorini being from “The Region” we get a glimpse into how central Indiana is perceived in NWI. Jeremiah’s wife Sara joins the podcast for the draft as well, so we can split 91 counties into 13 rounds, fantasy football style. Who will be picked first? And what is the last county taken? Any why did they combine Noble and Whitley Counties? This episode was sponsored by Healthy Home Foundation Repair. Next Episode records Thursday, August 20th!
