“Most people are very busy with their lives. And, while there are many popular podcast programs that go up to two and three hours, most people
only have time for short bits of media. They want substantive content.
The purpose of this show is to get a brief story of the guest, to learn from the wisdom of their experience, and to learn what’s next for them.”

The Omnibus Show E063 Former Indiana Senator Jim Merritt Talks Politics, Podcasts, & His Covid Book
Carmel, IN – July 15, 2024 – On this episode of The Omnibus Show, we welcome Jim Merritt, former Indiana State Senator and President of JWM Consulting. Merritt also has three podcasts, is on WIBC Radio, works as a consultant, and is in the midst of writing a new book.
Merritt discusses the ideas behind each of his podcasts: Jim Merritt's Indiana, Merritt in the Morning, and Talk Radio GOP coming soon.
He discusses his strong belief in public service, as well as the many laws and policies he helped pass when in the Senate. Among those are the Safe Haven Law, which allows mothers to surrender their infants without fear of prosecution, and the Indiana Lifeline Law, which allows people to request help for minors who have overdosed or drank too much alcohol, again without being prosecuted.
Merritt discusses his time in office and the upcoming elections – both here in Indiana and on the national level. He reflects on how the government is shaping the world we live in and how the cost of living is affecting those in our community with issues such as healthcare and hunger, as well as, areas for growth.
“Lessons Learned,” is Merritt’s upcoming book, which he mentions, which addresses the various changes that have happened since the Covid pandemic. He follows up on issues in education for Hoosier students.
