Two words: no connectivity!
My lessoned learned from moving to a different location? To scout the new place out to make sure I have a signal so the live blog will actually work.
My deepest apologies to those who stopped by the blog to participate in a live chat that never was. These are the little kinks that we’re working out as we try new things. But I promise you, it will work better next time as we will be at a place with a signal.
That said, we still recorded the podcast and the segments will be up in the coming days.

Kyle Bailey, campaign manager for 2nd District Congressional Candidate Luke Puckett, comes to Indianapolis to give Hoosier Access Radio a rundown on the campaign in the 2nd District.
State Representative candidate Chris Swatts stops by to give us an update on his campaign
State Representative Cindy Noe (R-87) takes her turn in The Hot Seat and gives Hoosier Access Radio a rundown of the lowdown at the Statehouse
We just can’t seem to stop ourselves. Hoosier Access Radio is returning to the podcast waves as we meet at the South Bend Chocolate Company tomorrow, March 1st, from 3:00 to 5:00. Tomorrow’s guests include:
Talk about a full lineup! The individual podcasts will start airing here on Hoosier Access beginning Saturday night. They will also be available on iTunes for downloading.

Update: Due to technical difficulties, the live blog will not be ‘live’. We will have reports from the event posted later today.
Update - Tomorrow festivities should begin around 9:00am.
Tomorrow, Hoosier Access in conjunction with the Digital Farmer and Digital Agriculture Media will be live blogging the Marion County Republican Slating Convention. Sure, the exciting portion of the event took place back in January with the slating of Jon Elrod for the 7th CD seat, but there are still a bevy of State Rep. races to watch such as HD 86 and HD 89. Both races are contested heading into the slating convetion, with Adam Nelson and Kurt Webber duking it out for HD 86 and Holly Davis and Chris Swatts in a turf war for State Rep. Larry Buell’s seat. With the Indiana House of Representatives up for grabs in November, these two races will be key to watch.
In addition to blogging all the action, we will also interview the candidates during tomorrow’s action. Remember, the best coverage of the Republican slating convention will take place right here at Hoosier Access.
We’re both available on iTunes! Bit of a stretch? Thought so.
Anyway, as Hoosier Access continues to grow, we’re making ourselves portable. Download Hoosier Access Radio to your iPod (sorry Zune owners…all three of you) and listen to HA in the car, on a plane trip or anywhere you’re on the go.
This makes for a Beautiful Day….and an open thread.
The podcast recorded today with 7th District Congressional Candidates Jon Elrod and Libertarian Sean Shepard, and Congressman Dan Burton is posted.
We had a technical glitch and we didn’t get all of the interview with Jon Elrod. Sorry about that Jon. The recorder showed it was recording, don’t know what happened to the first bit of the interview.
Warning: it’s almost 2 hours long and 100 MB download - Lots of good conversation with the Congressman and the candidates.
*Update*
Here’s the podcasts broken down into guests for benefit of those on slower connections or want to listen to a particular Hoosier Access Radio guest

Who says we aren’t bipartisan?
Be looking for the podcasts to be loaded over the weekend!
Today, Hoosier Access in cooperation with Mike Jezierski of the Digital Farmers blog had the opportunity to interview State Representative Jon Elrod. After our interview (which lasts about 20-25 minutes), Jacob Perry of the Circle City Pundit and Mike gave their views on which candidate would be a better opponent to Andre Carson in the special election. Enjoy!
