Don Brubaker’s 2022 in Review

Wow, what a year. To describe my 2022 at the Indy, look no further than the timeless adage: “Time flies when you’re hired as a web content manager in Q3.” We’re all familiar with that one, right?

While it’s true that I joined the team rather recently (in August of this year), I was eager to jump into the fray of journalism, and to that end, the Independent has not disappointed.

One of my favorite weekly tasks is drafting a few of our niche newsletters. Namely, Leslie Dinaberg’s ON Culture, Joe Woodard’s ON the Beat, and Matt Kettmann’s Fully Belly Files, all of which I would highly encourage you to subscribe to. Never before have I felt so confidently in-the-know about goings-ons in S.B., from what to see on the theatrical stage to who‘s playing music to where one can find the best new eats in town (Matt, please bring me along on an assignment sometime for photos or something … please).
