I recently found this fab radio show & have been consuming podcasts of past episodes and have a question. Does it seem like there is a unusually high number of callers from Indiana? Or is this because I am originally from there so these callers stand out? Not that this is a bad thing; I appreciate all the great questions.

I noticed that myself. But then I do live in Indiana. I think it is playing on the NPR station out of Indianapolis and is hitting the most populous part of the state. And let's face it, Indiana has some peculiar mixes of linguistics.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it. I thought they were editing the shows in Indy, to play Indiana callers, for their audience. Perhaps, the individual who screens calls is from Indy or we are just a bunch of quirky people. I hope it's the latter.

I'm a traveling computer geek who just noticed this show for the first time a couple weeks ago—and it happens I've just started a gig in Indianapolis. Any chance that it's playing only in Indiana?
