OPINION: The Camera on I-74 Doesn’t Care that You’re Late

March 18, 2026 Brent Lee

Let me paint you a picture. It’s a Tuesday afternoon. You’re on I-74 heading toward Indy. You’ve got somewhere to be. The speed limit drops to 55 because there’s a construction zone coming up — […]

OPINION: Your Golden Era Isn’t Everyone’s Golden Era (And That’s OK)

March 11, 2026 Brent Lee

  Every couple of months, I get a comment — sometimes in person, sometimes online — that goes something like this: “Why don’t you play more Garth? More Alan Jackson? More Vince Gill?” And I […]

OPINION: Something Nobody’s Going To (But Should)

March 4, 2026 Brent Lee

I saw something on WRBIradio.com this morning that most people probably scrolled right past. The Ripley County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Meet the Candidates Night next month. Candidates for local office, up on […]

OPINION: It’s Not About the Fish

February 25, 2026 Brent Lee

Every year, right around this time, something happens in Southeastern Indiana that doesn’t get nearly enough credit. It doesn’t make the national news. Nobody’s doing a documentary about it. There’s no trending hashtag. It’s just […]

OPINION: Sneaky Songs

February 14, 2026 Brent Lee

It always catches you off guard. You’re not having a bad day. Nothing dramatic just happened. You’re not even in a particularly reflective mood. And then a song comes on — and something shifts. Not […]

OPINION: The Lost Art of the Sunday Drive

February 10, 2026 Brent Lee

When I was a kid, Sunday afternoons had a rhythm to them. Church in the morning, a big lunch afterward, and then—if the weather was decent—my dad would look at my mom and say, “Want […]

OPINION: Winter’s Hidden Price Tag

February 3, 2026 Brent Lee

Here’s what nobody tells you about winter in Southeastern Indiana: it’s not the snow that gets you. It’s the compounding. One extra trip to the store because you forgot something and nobody wants to go […]

OPINION: A Real Hoosier Story

January 29, 2026 Brent Lee

When word spread that Gene White had passed away, it stirred up a familiar Indiana conversation. People talked about Milan. They talked about 1954. They talked about Hoosiers. And almost inevitably, someone asked the question […]

OPINION: The Blizzard of ’78

January 25, 2026 Brent Lee

If you grew up around here, you don’t have to say much more than “the Blizzard of ’78” and people immediately get that look. It’s not just that it snowed. It’s that the world stopped […]

OPINION: Indiana’s Icon, Indiana’s Divide

January 14, 2026 Brent Lee

(Noblesville, IN) – John Mellencamp is coming home again this summer. That sentence should feel simple in Indiana. Comfortable, even. Like something you’d hear from a buddy leaning on a tailgate in a parking lot […]

OPINION: The Game that Explains Indiana

January 9, 2026 Brent Lee

I saw that American Legion Post 452, New Alsace, is having a Euchre Tournament this Sunday.  You can get all the details HERE. That got me thinking about the game.  And I have a theory […]

OPINION: Indy’s First Visionary

January 5, 2026 Brent Lee

I’ve loved the Indianapolis 500 for as long as I can remember. I’m an IndyCar fan who never misses the race — the sound, the speed, the traditions, the feeling that for one day every […]
