    Love Ann Delaney!
    She is the voice we tune in to hear! Absolutely love her😀. My husband and I tell our neighbors and friends to tune in . Three cheers for Ann. We don’t want any part of that project 25. Our libraries are not for religious study alone! We will never be trump or j d Vance supporters. Halloween will never be band and replaced with religious extremism. USA is a free country

    I LOVE ANN.
    As a Democrat in Indiana - I LOVE ANN speaking some truth on this show. I tune every week for it. We cheer and clap for most of her critiques of our governmental affairs. Because they need to be said! I've been glad to hear more voices on the the Democratic side over the past few month. I find it difficult to get local state government news outside of this podcast/Radio Show. Thank you WFYI.

    No Discussion About Real Issues
    Only generalized discussions and no real resolve or response. Only how to screw schools and parents to steal more tax money with no transparency.

    75% of the panelists are great…
    …it’s Ann Delaney (democrat) that is very rude to the other panelists and hasn’t had a good counterpoint in many many years (probably goes with Dems being out of office for over 20 years in state offices); just regurgitating general “repubs bad” or trying to stereotype every repub when it comes to every issue just shows she has nothing to say and should have been replaced many years ago. When they have a different democrat on, it jumps to 4 1/2 stars, with only a half star off for…the sound level is way off, especially when it compares to other podcasts.

    Love the show, please watch language
    This show is a regular weekly listen or watch for me. I like hearing both sides, even if I don’t agree. BUT, more than once I’ve heard John mention “lifestyle” or “choice of lifestyle”, this week actually. I know he means the LGBTQ community, but being a member of the LGBTQ community isn’t a lifestyle choice. It’s people living their lives who happen to be part of the LGBTQ community. Please check this.

    Great content but audio mix needs work
    The format of this podcast is great and provides an informative look at what is happening in Indiana. I recommend it to all of my Hoosier podcast listeners. My only critique is the sound mix is often too low compared to any other podcast I listen to, I often have my car and phone speakers at max.

    good
    Ann Delaney is great— animated, loud— but usually correct so I can’t really complain. Nikki Kelly is great too, I think her perspective is spot on most of the time. I met her in person ten years ago and wasn’t really impressed, but she’s fantastic. Mike O’brien is usually pretty spot on too. Audio Quality is Absolutely Awful.

    Very informative, lively program.

    Progressive review
    Lacks balance in the discussion. Once we or twice a moderate conservative chimes in just long enough for him to get steam rolled.

    Great show, but…
    Anne Delaney is so credulous for ultra leftists and rude! She interrupts other panelists all the time! Jim Shella would never have allowed her to steamroll over other panelists like she does now. I get Brandon is a hardcore lefty pretending to be impartial but it’s so pathetic. He never lets a rebuke of Anne go for more than 2 seconds but will let her interrupt and monologue for ever. Very disappointed with how this show has gone…it should be called the angry Delaney hour telling you how terrible of a person you are while she goes and shops at Whole Foods at 3pm in the afternoon. Anne needs to respect the other panelists time because they all do to her. Her whining is just pathetic.

    Great Podcast
    The podcast is very informative and is a great way to keep up with news and politics statewide. One star is knocked of because of Ann DeLaney who is incredibly frustrating to listen to. She frequently makes hyper-partisan comments and unprofessional interruptions. She clearly has no respect for people who have different points of view and the podcast would do well to find a new Democratic representative.

    Stick It Out
    If you can get past DeLaney’s unprofessional interrupting and jarring cross-talk, this podcast is a nice summary of state-level politics. This podcast would be fantastic (5 stars!!) if the Democrat voice wasn’t such a distraction.

    Have to heavily sift through the liberal bias
    The Democrat voice on this show (Ann Delaney) bulldozes the rest of the panel with the same argument every time; “Republicans bad”. The Republican Party could cure cancer, develop free and clean energy, and she would say “well, it took them long enough, terrible leadership”. If there was another show that handled statewide issues like this I would gladly listen. No one effectively pushes back on the overwhelming liberal bias of this show, even the “Republican” on the show usually bends over and takes it on any argument.
  • Dirk Sapper
    Ann Delaney is painful to listen to
    This is a great podcast for local Indiana issues and how national issues affect Indiana. I think there is a good panel with the exception of Ann Delaney. It would be nice if you could find a Democrat who is more aligned with Indiana values but still represents the party well. She is painful to listen to and argumentative past the point of being productive in a civil debate.

    Partisan Bickering Instead of Informative Opinions
    This podcast consistently degenerates into uninformative bickering, mostly because Ann DeLaney constantly interrupts and insults. It makes the podcast an unpleasant listen that adds little intellectual value to Indiana political news or debate. Indiana does need a professional political podcast, but it needs to start with better personalities.

    Highly recommend
    Great way to keep up with current events in our state.

    IWIR - It's Wildly Interesting, Really!
    I listen every week - I'm their biggest fan! This is the best group of people you could be listening to, right now. Mike is genial and jolly, Ann steals the show. Like good coffee, she's 'delightfully bitter!' Leslie's a pillar practicality. Ketzenberger is the cool one. Schwantes is the comic relief. And Jim is the ring master who's graciously not afraid to throw his hat in the ring. Everyone they get to fill in for them is cool, too. They shout, they laugh and they prove that red or blue, we are Hoosiers, first. Indiana Week 4-Ever!!!
