Indiana Weekend

Check out some of Indiana’s most interesting people and places – from the transcontinental cyclists of Upland, to the Anderson folks working with retired racehorses, the Corn-Fed Derby Dames and the people of Muncie’s historic neighborhoods.

Each week we introduce you to some of the people making a difference and find the fun things to see and do across the region. Join us each Friday at 6:30 p.m. after the news and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.

Host John Strauss is a college journalism instructor and longtime Indiana reporter who likes finding stories off the beaten path. He’s a former AP correspondent and editor in Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky and New York City, whose last professional assignment was with The Indianapolis Star as a digital-news and weekend city editor. John now teaches journalism at Ball State University and serves as adviser to the student-run Daily News.
