The Friday Pitch-In

April 17, 2020

State officials say they feel “cautiously optimistic” about the results of Indiana’s response to the coronavirus so far. We talk about why that is, and how Gov. Holcomb’s stay-at-home order might change in the coming weeks.

We also talk to our environmental reporter about the farmer-landowner relationship, and how it impacts sustainable practices. And the author of a new book about political putdowns and comebacks tells us why humor can make for a powerful weapon.

Produced by Matt Pelsor.
