Fox Lake Resort provided Black Midwesterners with a refuge from the daily reality of living in a country gripped by Jim Crow. In this episode, we explore how Fox Lakers built their community and how they now are working to preserve it. Find a transcript and show notes for this episode at podcast.history.in.gov.

Mandy Brooks is a performance and recording artist, singer/songwriter, & winner of the 2018 Josie Music awards for Christian/Gospel female artist of the year and has been nominated each consecutive year thereafter, including nominations in 4 different categories for the 2021 Awards.  

She is the founder of Women in Music Collective & Christian Creative Collective. Mandy is also a coach for creative ministries & individuals through her own practice "Uncaged". 

In 2017, after the Tubbs Fire decimated parts of Napa, Sonoma and Lake Counties, which was the most destructive wildfire in California history at the time, Mandy penned the song “Common Ground”.   With the release of the companion video, she brought the message of hope to a devastating event and garnered much attention locally and nationally .

Mandy is transitioning into new ground these days as she transitions from the founder and leader of her award winning group ‘Small Hat’; that featured her sons Cosmos and Zoz, along with various special guests to branching out as a solo artist with the video release of her new single "Idlewild",  and the soon to be released companion e-book.

Kevin goes wire to wire for his first signature win.  Wow.  So well done.(1:54) On the FPO side, we had, in my opinion, the best battle in many, many years.  Let's dig in to what gave PP the edge. (22:54) Because of this battle, and the one currently brewing on the debate page, let's look at the things that we disc golfers always argue over. (47:57) But BOB doesn't want to get left out of the argument so he is bringing in some of his own.  Where do you land on his choices?(1:12:12) 

Greatness.  We got to see it in both fields at The Beast in Nokia, Finland.  Let's talk how Paul tracked them down (2:01) and how Paige ran away from the pack (19:45).  It is eerily similar to what happened in Idlewild last year where Paige ran away from the pack (33:19) and Paul tracked them down (48:15).  Will last year have any bearing on this year? Yes and No. Let's discuss.  Then I want to challenge you to do something that I learned about recently that I will begin implementing at my local minis. (1:01:31) Lastly, BOB is gonna get you caught up on what is happening next. (1:18:10)

Many of your students are just looking for someone to believe in them. You can be that person. Our guest today is Jay Sanders. Jay is the College Pastor at Idlewild Baptist Church in Tampa, FL. Jay shares the difference people made in his life simply because they believed in him and gave him opportunities to thrive.

It isn't called Idle-normal.  Let's take a look at what happened in Kentucky with the divergent rounds of Kevin Jones and Paul McBeth.  2nd on the box will be a discussion about TDs/Sponsors and camera crews.  When one makes demands on the other, who has the upper hand? Then BOB is going to walk us through something that, sadly, I encountered last week. 

This week Ben hits new levels of excitement as he speaks to Roddy Woomble of Idlewild, the Scottish indie rock band who have released seven full-length studio albums to date.

Also a respected solo artist, we speak to Roddy about the pros and cons of support slots, middle men and the value of having a creative space.

The good cause this week is Amnesty International’s Give a Home, which Idlewild have performed Sofar Sounds gigs for in support of the world’s refugees.

Idle was wild! James Conrad holds off the McBeast with a clutch performance all the way through the final hole.  Moraine State Park is looming and Paul is licking his chops. Then we head up to explore the issues that came to the surface regarding the "lack of respect" for the Master's World Championships.  Finally, Bob comes to us with a look at the King of Emporia.
