About Inner States

Inner States uses conversations with unconventional artists, thinkers, and doers from Southern Indiana and beyond as jumping-off points to explore big ideas about place, politics, work, ecology, and memory, among others. We dig into the art, culture, stories, and sounds of the southern Midwest, from the rolling hills to reddit, from comedians to country dances, getting to know the people, the ideas, and the landscapes that make us who we are. We ask big questions, get caught up in stories, and slow down for sounds.

Inner States is produced and hosted by Alex Chambers, a writer, cultural studies scholar, and long-time bread baker. Alex is the producer of How to Survive the Future, a podcast with Indiana Humanities. He produced the Hoosier Young Farmer Podcast and is a former associate producer on WFIU’s Earth Eats with Kayte Young.
