Staff Spotlight: Ray Steele

As a member of WFYI, you power the stories you love and rely on; but someone has to produce, distribute, fundraise for and promote those stories. Each month here in the Insiders' Magazine, you'll see a series introducing you to the team here at WFYI. Learn about journalists, radio producers, administrative specialists and all the dedicated individuals who — alongside your support — bring you the shows you care about.

What does your work at WFYI usually entail?

I am the person who talks when Michele Martin, Steve Inskeep, Leila Fadel and A Martinez are not talking. I also get to interview the people who are bringing The Culture to Indianapolis.

What do you enjoy most about working at WFYI?

Our listeners are the nicest listeners in all of media, by far.

When you’re not at work, what can you often be found doing?

Listening to any type of music that exists, except for new country — no offense to new country fans.  Fitness, following basketball, baseball, college football, and marching band and the marching arts.  Lastly, passionately following the greatest of all the performance arts — pro wrestling.
