Hoosier History Live is an independently produced new media project about Indiana history. It's a podcast and newsletter and website and social media project. Hoosier History Live's original content comes initially from a live with call in weekly talk radio show hosted by author and historian Nelson Price. You can hear the radio show Saturdays from noon to 1 pm Eastern Time. It’s over the air in Central Indiana at WICR 88.7 fm, or you can stream at the WICR HD1 app on your phone.

    How do we do it?

    Hoosier History Live is an independently produced program put together by a consortium of Central Indiana writers, historians, web and audio tech people, artists and marketers. While many journalists and pundits bemoan the demise of newspapers and original media content, those of us who work on Hoosier History Live have decided to just go ahead and create a great enewsletter and a great show each week. We are not hand-wringers and whiners; we are doers! Won't you support us?
