Well, I am a white man nearing 40 who has already hosted podcasts. I suppose this was inevitable.

@JamesEBriggs I thought about it. I got it at 35. A big red stripe on my chest. Burned like crazy, but I had it easy. Good column!

Immigrants -- both documented and not -- make a city's food scene, says history.

I recently profiled four folks born outside the US who have overcome a slew of challenges while shaping Indy's restaurant industry. A longer one for @indystar

A March Madness bracket, but for 00s-10s emo songs.

"What do you mean #14 'I woke up in a car' upset #3 'MakeDamnSure'?!"

One song per artist.

The four 1 seeds:

Black Parade
Dance, Dance
Hands Down
Sins not tragedies

Nobody sleep on #4 "Ohio is for Lovers"

A mix of young(ish) and old(ish) for this year’s Carb Day lineup in May at @IMS, as All-American Rejects & Bret Michaels split the card: https://t.co/GRSQHgotyC

Ruoff added a parking fee and cut the lawn pass in the same season? Yikes. Huge names will still sell, but turnout on those middling to questionably booked shows will drop, no?

I like Cincinnati, but there is such a thing as too much Cincinnati...

The rumors are true: Graeter’s Ice Cream and Skyline Chili are, indeed, teaming up for a polarizing new treat. https://t.co/aGgfWnfXtx

A big personal change for me this week: I have begun a new role as public relations manager at @IUMedSchool. I'll be working with my reporter colleagues to share the important work and research being done here.

I'll be in touch, but also feel free to reach out: [email protected]

Jingle All the Way is such an underrated Christmas movie. A bad Midwestern dad in a losing battle against capitalism, but inexplicably make him Arnold Schwarzenegger. Have him fight Santas. Phil Hartman is trying to steal his lady. He's out with Sinbad. Impossible to replicate.

[Rory Appleton @RoryEHAppleton]

What else can he fight? A reindeer! Perfect. Wait why does he fight things? Shut up!

Hoosier Lottery's longtime leader tells us its lack of online games is failing players -- "working with the same product you had 35 years ago sold in the same way." A key lawmaker plans pushing bill to allow Indiana iLottery. More from @RoryEHAppleton ⬇️

Yeeeeeeeeesh. So if you want to park and use a lawn chair, you're down $40 from the get.
