It’s a packed morning inside WMUN’s brand-new video studio as Steve Lindell welcomes three big guests before the holiday: Innovation Connector Executive Director Ted Baker, Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns, and the Voice of the Cardinals Mick Tidrow.

Steve and Ted recap a massively successful Showcase Week, share what’s next for entrepreneurs in Muncie, and even compare Thanksgiving cooking traditions. President Mearns joins via video to talk Ball State athletics, record academic success rates, Arts & Culture Night, student-led design work in The Village, and dishes out some Thanksgiving wishes of his own—while Steve tests him on the “Word of the Day.” Then Mick Tidrow jumps in to preview the rivalry football finale, men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, and his unique Thanksgiving Day plans.

Catch the full conversation for local insight, community pride, and plenty of holiday cheer.
