Oh, alright, it&#8217;s a remote control. You&#8217;d only guess it from the left and right, forward and back buttons. And maybe from the peeling label, which is no longer accurate. One presumes it once was a remote that lived in some room labeled 207. Why, in the new building (which is 111-years old, mind you) there isn&#8217;t even a room numbered 207. We have a 206 and a 208. And across the hall there&#8217;s a 206A and a 209, but no 207. It sounds very Harry Potteresque, I know. <\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve never seen the door to 206A opened. No idea what&#8217;s inside. Maybe that&#8217;s where they keep all of the extra remotes. Maybe it is is a closely guarded state secret.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, tomorrow I&#8217;ll be at work, because we&#8217;re doing a Saturday event for incoming students and it will be my job to stand around and point and occasionally talk to people or plug things in when there is a need for plugging in things. I will also hand this remote and a microphone to various people. It is decidedly less Potteresque, I know.   <\/p>\n<p>Today on the podcast, Carley Lanich, the editor-in-chief of the campus paper, joined me once more to talk about an investigative series being produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indystar.com\/series\/theexploited\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Indianapolis Star<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/mhi6g-8916ba?from=site&#038;vjs=1&#038;skin=1&#038;fonts=Helvetica&#038;auto=0&#038;download=0\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Lanich is a very recent winner of a Hearst Award. She won a $1,500 scholarship for her investigative story that examined the university&#8217;s sexual assault investigation process. Her&#8217;s was a four-parter, and it is was an impressive thing, year-long thing. She&#8217;s a sharp young woman on her way to big things, no doubt, and I&#8217;m always glad when she comes on my little program.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, off to your weekend. Mine starts sometime tomorrow afternoon. I hear they store them in Room 207.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t tell you what this is.
