Kurt Meyer, historic Noblesville flooding and top whiskey drinking songs

Join host Josh Cecil, co-host Tyler Mechem and Producer Chris for Season 1, Episode 21 of the HamCo Live Hot Ticket podcast on the Get In Podcast Network. This week, Noblesville real estate expert and author Kurt Meyer joins the studio. Meyer discusses the unique appeal of historic homes in Oldtown Noblesville, the history of local theaters and his family's recent reunion with guests visiting from Japan and Bozeman.

The group discusses the historic flooding in Hamilton County that surpassed the 1913 record by nearly a foot, submerging local parks like Federal Hill and Southside Park. The hosts share how local businesses were affected and highlight community recovery efforts led by Noblesville Serve Village. To support the community, 100 percent of the proceeds from this episode will go toward local flood relief.

Weekend recaps include Tyler's recent gig at Walk-Ons, Chris's trip to Terre Haute Brewing Company and Kurt's family trip to the Indiana State Fair. This sparks a conversation about historic state fair concerts, from the Beatles performing at the coliseum in 1964 to Tyler's memory of opening for Michael McDonald. In honor of their guest, a noted bourbon drinker, the group debates the best whiskey drinking songs for the weekly top five segment.

The final playlist features tracks by Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Townes Van Zandt, Midland and Larry Fleet. Later, the hosts test their music knowledge with a soft rock trivia question sponsored by Rudy's Recycle Shop in Cicero. The episode also previews TradeUp Fest, a free community music festival celebrating the skilled trades on Sept. 19 at the Riverview Health Arena in Noblesville.
