  • Long time, Last time

    Ann is the Goat! She’s an Indiana Democrat (take or like what that means or not) and has been the voice for our minority for decades! As a lifelong Democrat in Indiana, she’s a stalwart for our beliefs.

    This new host has to go, not exactly sure what’s happened to our previous host(s) but this new one doesn’t have it…questions lack depth or cross examination, questions lack fluidity and are cobblestoned messes. Please re-examine your host bullpen.

  • 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.
