Could voting be easier in Indiana? One non-profit thinks so. On All IN, host Matt Pelsor talks to representatives from the non-partisan group Indiana Vote By Mail. The group says if we adopted policies that have been in practice in other states for years, it would increase election security and voter participation, and decrease wait times at the polls for those who choose to vote the old-fashioned way. Guests will talk about how it would work, where it HAS worked, and the potential risks involved. 

Listen today at 1pm on 88.1 WVPE.

Before Jim Brown, Mean Joe Greene, or any other black NFL superstar, there was George Taliaferro. George played football for Indiana University two years before Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier, and went on to become the first African American drafted by the NFL. 

We sat down with the author of a new biography on Taliaferro, to talk about the Indiana native’s athletic and academic achievements made during a time of deep racial division, and his long life after football.

Six years ago, Indiana was among a handful of states that still banned ex-drug offenders from using food stamps, no matter how many years passed, how long they were drug free, or how long they followed parole.

Cheryl Ashe wanted to change that. After spending years driving people who were ineligible for food stamps from food pantry to food pantry, she was convinced it was time to change the law. And after six years of trying, she helped make it happen.
