Friday, 27 March, 2026
In this episode of Our Indiana: Stories from Rural Hoosiers, host Denny Spinner records from the Radius Indiana office in Bedford, Indiana, and speaks with Jeff Quyle, president and CEO of Radius Indiana, along with Layne Elliott and Kristy Anderson from Indiana University’s Eppley Center for Parks and Public Lands.Together, they trace the remarkable transformation of the historic Monon rail corridor into the Monon South Trail—soon to be the longest continuous rails‑to‑trails project in Indiana. Jeff, Layne, and Kristy share how small towns along the 62‑mile route are embracing the trail as a catalyst for economic revitalization, outdoor recreation, community identity, and new connections between residents and visitors. Tune in to hear how southern Indiana communities are transforming a historic rail corridor into a shared regional asset and what the trail means for future growth and quality of life.For a transcript of this episode, visit go.iu.edu/ourindiana.
