About this Episode

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey attended the Henry County Sheriff candidates' forum in New Castle, Indiana, on Thursday, October 15, 2026, where Republican Jim Nicholson and Democrat David Bockover faced off and fielded questions from moderator Jeremiah Morrell of Boss Hogs of Liberty and the audience.

Bilbrey shares his impressions of the forum—the questions asked and those left unasked, the candidates' responses, and what stood out as Henry County voters sought to learn more about the two men vying to take over the Sheriff's Department after Lame-Duck John Sproles' disastrous four years at the helm.

Bilbrey then turns to Muncie and to an issue involving Republican City Councilor Ro Selvey and Delaware County Republican Party Chairman Tim Overton—a story Bilbrey has been teasing since the Monday, October 5, 2026, Muncie City Council meeting.

Bilbrey finally lays out what happened, why he finds the situation troubling, and how it has deteriorated over the past several days.

Listeners won't want to miss this!

To wrap up, Bilbrey reflects on another wild week of politics and government across East Central Indiana and beyond, then looks ahead to what comes next.
