The closing ledger · verified November 2026
Where the record stands: Mishawaka ends this section with one documented creator act of national circulation — a puppet troupe of four young men, a quarter-million TikTok followers strong on the platform's own counter, fronted by an animator whose million-subscriber solo career belongs, on the documents, to the city across the river. It has two student podcast operations still publishing, a church sermon feed, a recording studio's house podcast, and the valley's history podcast — a South Bend project — treating its past as half its beat. It has no influencer of the national rosters, no independent podcaster of record, no Twitch or YouTube name the press has ever had occasion to print, and no news outlet born on the web. The attention economy has so far routed around the Power City the way the license map did in the producers file — the work that is done here is done inside other cities' frames — with one exception, performed by puppets, in a wood-paneled room, 142 videos deep and still posting.
