On this, our 221st episode
our guest is Gov. Eric Holcomb.
Eric Holcomb is the 51st
governor of the state of Indiana.
Starting in March 2020, I had the
opportunity to participate virtually in dozens and dozens of
televised press conferences with Gov. Holcomb and other state
officials. These were mostly centered around the COVID-19 pandemic,
but other topics were also discussed. Here is a complete list:

The is actually the second year in a
row I have been invited to sit down for a one-on-one interview with
Gov. Holcomb at the Governor's Office at the Indiana Statehouse. Last
year, I did so in my role as Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer. This
year, Gov. Holcomb was a guest of The Rob Burgess Show.
Thank you to Gov. Holcomb and his staff
especially governor's fellow Abriana Carnes and press secretary Erin
Murphy for taking the time and for helping to set this up.
