Cole Dunbar
10:00am - 2:00pm
With roots in Monrovia and a proud graduate of IU, Cole’s journey through the Hoosier State is one that is shared by several Hank-FM listeners.
He’s a true Hoosier through and through. A die-hard fan of the Colts, Pacers, and of course, the Indiana University Hoosiers, his passion for Indiana sports runs deep, attending events around the state with friends and family. Him and his dad continue the tradition of going to the Indy 500 together every year for over 20 years.
Outside of the studio, Cole’s love for Indy shines through in his culinary adventures and craft beer escapades. He’s always on the hunt to find something new, often accompanied by his wife, Libby, and their beloved pup, Reggie – named after Reggie Miller.
