About this listen

Join us as we kick off our new podcast, Inde Talks introducing community conversations. You may remember two of us from our previous podcast. On, "We Have Issues". Laurie Dean Wiley and Dan Hobart shared their love for Independence for almost 200 episodes, discussing Independence politics and now we are back for more with the addition of co-host, Jeff Fox.

Grab your coffee and hang with us as we discuss a wide variety of topics with our goal being to share facts, history, politics, faith, pop culture, and of course, our opinions. We hope that you find our conversations sincere, thoughtful, and humorous. We would appreciate your grace as we become your favorite, local trio. Welcome to Inde Talks.

In this episode Jeff Fox shares with us editorials written by The Colonel of The Examiner or what the Sheriff thought more than a century ago. In it, we are encourage to think about drinking, the scourge of the local drug problem, the consequences for shackled bootleggers, and the crime wave way back when. Do we blame the ladies, teens, or prohibition'?
