Session Sessions

The Speaker of the House w/Rep. Todd Huston

Rep. Earl Harris, Jr. and Rep. Blake Johnson Season 3 Episode 11

For the first time ever on Session Sessions, we’re joined by the Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives — and yes, he’s from the other party. Speaker Todd Huston sits down with Reps. Earl Harris Jr. and Blake Johnson for a rare, unfiltered conversation about what it’s really like to lead the 100-member House.

We cover a lot: the reality of wrangling policy and personalities, how the sausage gets made during budget season, why the second half of session always feels like a sprint, and the surprising power of simply getting to know each other as people. Speaker Huston even opens up about the loneliness that can come with leadership — and the dinner-table wisdom that keeps him grounded.

Also, minivans.

Whether you’re inside the Statehouse or just curious about how it all works, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
