  <itunes:subtitle>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes longtime friend (and politico) Rachel Clark and her daughter, Ryan Reese (an up-and-coming politico), to the show—LIVE from Mud Creek Studio—to discuss the upcoming 2026 Primary Election (Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.). The trio will share their thoughts on the past four-plus months of campaigning, including the ups and downs, the good, the bad, and the completely ignorant! They'll share their wishes for who they want to see win various positions across several counties and at the state and national levels. Then they'll offer their predictions for who they believe will win in the various races. This midterm election will come and go like many others, without much fanfare nationally. However, locally (in several counties) and at the state level here in Indiana, this primary election is one of the most important elections voters and non-voters alike have faced! Tune in to this 655th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' for the best political commentary ahead of the upcoming 2026 Primary Election. #ThePoliticalSpotlight</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>When mistakes happen, most people apologize — but not in Muncie politics. Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey exposes the latest chaos from Mayor Dan Ridenour’s administration and his Executive Assistant Shareen Wagley, with insight from former EMS Chief Rachel Clark of 'The Bilbrey &amp; Clark Show.' #ThePoliticalSpotlight</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:image href="https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images-2024/podcasts/images/d/d85db214-cea8-44f1-a07a-f92168506f93/cover.jpg?v=13"/>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;When a mistake occurs or something is done wrong, whether intentionally or not, once it is discovered, an apology is typically given, and the issue is corrected. Generally, it’s not expected that it will happen again or that something worse might occur.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, in politics — especially in Muncie, Indiana — and even more so when the Ridenour Administration is involved, there are a few things you can be certain of:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, there will be no "mea culpa"...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Second, the idea that "the cover-up is worse than the crime" is never considered...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And third, the sycophants will always be ready to die on even the most foolish of hills...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, Mayor Ridenour’s Executive Assistant Shareen Wagley is doubling down on the crazy, along with the mayor and the rest of his team, and you know Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has a LOT to say about it all!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey is joined on the show briefly by Rachel Clark, his Co-Host from his other program, 'The Bilbrey &amp;amp; Clark Show'  ⁨@BilbreyClarkShow⁩. As the former EMS Chief of the City of Muncie, Indiana, from 2019 to October 2022, she has gained various insights and thoughts about the ongoing insanity in Muncie. &lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>When a mistake occurs or something is done wrong, whether intentionally or not, once it is discovered, an apology is typically given, and the issue is corrected. Generally, it’s not expected that it will happen again or that something worse might occur.</p>

<p>However, in politics — especially in Muncie, Indiana — and even more so when the Ridenour Administration is involved, there are a few things you can be certain of:</p>

<p>First, there will be no "mea culpa"...</p>

<p>Second, the idea that "the cover-up is worse than the crime" is never considered...</p>

<p>And third, the sycophants will always be ready to die on even the most foolish of hills...</p>

<p>Needless to say, Mayor Ridenour’s Executive Assistant Shareen Wagley is doubling down on the crazy, along with the mayor and the rest of his team, and you know Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has a LOT to say about it all!</p>

<p>Bilbrey is joined on the show briefly by Rachel Clark, his Co-Host from his other program, 'The Bilbrey &amp; Clark Show'  ⁨@BilbreyClarkShow⁩. As the former EMS Chief of the City of Muncie, Indiana, from 2019 to October 2022, she has gained various insights and thoughts about the ongoing insanity in Muncie. </p>
