The Kentucky Bourbon Festival is entering its third decade of existence in Bardstown, Ky., known as the "Bourbon Capital of the World." The event is held the third weekend in September, but VIP tickets sold out in a matter of hours, and general admission tickets go on sale Monday. The festival has been "re-visioned," and two of the men guiding its evolution discuss what is in store for this year's bourbon enthusiasts and Bardstown residents, and some of the reasons for those changes. Randy Prasse, KBF president and COO, and David Mandell, Chair of the festival's board, talk with Forrest Berkshire, editor of The Kentucky Standard.  

U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, who serves Kentucky's Second Congressional District, spoke with regional reporters from his Bowling Green, Ky., office. Guthrie spoke in a teleconference about the USA CARES Act, which Congress passed in an effort to lessen the economic blow on the economy caused by the novel coronavirus, and what it means for small businesses and their workers. He also shared a little bit about how his own family has been affected by the novel coronavirus and took questions from reporters.

Kentucky Standard Editor Forrest Berkshire sits down with Kenny Fogle to discuss his new job as deputy political director for the Kentucky Democratic Party. Kenny and Forrest discuss what motivated Kenny to be involved in politics for three decades and what he sees as the needs for the Democratic Party in Kentucky.
