Podcasts about Anderson County

During this broadcast of The Charlie James Show on NewsTalk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James sits down with Joy Stug, Chairwoman of the Anderson County GOP, live from the "Salute to Liberty" event with Representative Sheri Biggs. Stug details several key upcoming events, including a Town Hall with Ralph Norman following a schedule pivot due to President Trump's visit to Myrtle Beach. She highlights a scheduled Upstate "Back to School" event on September 23rd featuring Superintendent Ellen Weaver, which includes a school supply drive. She also announces an all-Republican ticket rally set for October 19th at the Civic Center to energize voters ahead of the November midterms. When asked how citizens on the political fringe can get involved, Stug emphasizes starting locally by joining the Anderson County Republican Party email list, volunteering, attending candidate forums, and asking candidates direct questions. She also notes the work of their school board committee in vetting conservative candidates. Stug concludes with her vision for the county GOP, stating, "the road to Columbia comes through Anderson County".

Welcome back, roadies! Todd and Jim are joined in the corner of Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky by returning guest Drew Hannush of the Whiskey Lore podcast for his sixth appearance on the show. The crew had just come off a big night in Lawrenceburg attending the premiere of Bo Cumberland's documentary *Spirit of Lawrenceburg*, a film tracing the deep distilling heritage of Anderson County — and they brought a very special bottle back from the event to kick things off. Drew also shares details about his ongoing research into the early history of bourbon, including a new book project that he is releasing chapter by chapter on his podcast as he writes it, inviting listener feedback in real time. On the Tasting Mat: - WH McBrayer 250th Special Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A limited release of only 1,776 bottles celebrating 250 years of the McBrayer legacy. Bottled at 105 proof from a blend of 11 barrels aged five to seven years, using the distinctive Bloody Butcher corn mash bill (88.4% Bloody Butcher corn, 5.8% Heritage Rye, 5.8% Malted Barley). The nose opens with stone fruits — pear and apple — alongside a well-aged grain character and a light mint note. The palate is full and lingering, leaning sweet upfront before drying out with oak, rye spice, and cinnamon on the finish. MSRP $100, available at select Northern Kentucky retailers and at Bourbon on the Bank. *(00:01:58)* - Hard Truth Double Oak Sweet Mash Bourbon: A limited release from Hard Truth Distilling Co. in Nashville, Indiana, bottled at 106.1 proof. Made from a mash bill of 73% corn, 19% rye, and 8% malted barley, this expression undergoes a secondary aging of over one year in a second custom-char new American oak barrel. Only 28 barrels were produced. The nose is relatively subdued with mild herbal notes, but the palate delivers a rich, concentrated punch of sweetness backed by dark fruits, graham cracker, toasted granola, and a bitter dark chocolate finish with hints of cola. The secondary barrel adds sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey with char or marshmallow notes. MSRP approximately $60. *(00:17:30)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish: A finished American whiskey blending 10- and 11-year-old straight bourbon and rye, aged 27 months in rum casks that previously held premium rum aged with prized Victoria Pineapple — with fresh pineapple also added directly to the barrel during finishing. Bottled at 106.1 proof and available only in Kentucky. MSRP $140 for a 750ml. The nose is immediately tropical and warming, with grilled pineapple and a gentle burn. The palate is lush and syrupy-sweet — not quite cloying — with a mouthfeel that lingers, layers of tropical fruit, and just enough rye spice and dark cherry emerging on subsequent sips. The panel agreed this pours like a cocktail in a glass, with strong potential as a highball or warm-weather sipper. *(00:30:00)* - Potter Jane Big Fat Liar Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The first aged whiskey release from Potter Jane Distilling Company in Springfield, Kentucky, founded by industry veterans Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. The name playfully references their earlier vow never to source whiskey — a promise this bottle good-naturedly breaks. Aged six years, vatted for seven months in American and French oak casks, and bottled at 109.4 proof. Limited to approximately 1,200 bottles, released during Kentucky Bourbon Week. MSRP $49.99. The nose is light and classic, with vanilla, a touch of apple, and a hint of citrus. The palate is well-balanced and viscous, with a sweet sizzle on entry, apple cobbler, restrained dark chocolate, and a quiet coffee-bean note on the finish. Crushable and approachable at proof, with nothing out of place. *(00:33:26)* Four bottles, four personalities, one memorable evening in Kentucky bourbon country. Whether you caught the *Spirit of Lawrenceburg* premiere or are just tuning in for the whiskey, this episode covers the spectrum from heritage grain bourbons to tropical barrel experiments — all in a tight proof band that made for a genuinely competitive tasting mat.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome listeners back to the Corner Rickhouse for a special episode centered around the upcoming documentary Spirits of Lawrenceburg: A Bourbon Legacy Forged Through Time. Joining them are Jerry Daniels of Stone Fences Tours — a Kentucky bourbon tourism expert and history enthusiast — and returning guest Bo Cumberland, the filmmaker behind the documentary. The conversation digs deep into the rich and often overlooked bourbon heritage of Lawrenceburg and Anderson County, Kentucky, tracing the families, distilleries, and waterways that made the region a powerhouse of American whiskey production from the early 1800s through Prohibition and beyond. On the Tasting Mat: - 1996 Dowling Deluxe 100 Proof: A dusty Heaven Hill-era bottling from 1996, this 100-proof bourbon pours an exceptionally dark amber. The nose opens with cherry pie and buttery pastry crust, with a light but present dusty funk characteristic of older Heaven Hill expressions. A beautiful example of pre-secondary-market-era bourbon in a plastic-capped bottle. *(00:02:29)* - Whiskey Barons Collection – W.B. Saffold (Wild Turkey): A blend of 6, 8, and 12-year Wild Turkey mashbill bourbons bottled at 107 proof as part of the limited Whiskey Barons series honoring legendary Anderson County distiller W.B. Saffold, once the yeast man at Cedar Brook Distillery. The nose and palate deliver classic Wild Turkey character: rich cherry, orange slice candy, toffee, and a subtle nuttiness reminiscent of almond shell. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. *(00:24:46)* - Frankfort Bourbon Society Single Barrel Four Roses OESQ, 9-Year 8-Month, Barrel Strength (123 Proof): Selected by the Frankfort Bourbon Society, this single barrel expression uses Four Roses' 20% rye mash bill with the Q yeast strain, aged 9 years and 8 months in barrel #85-5R (fifth tier rick). At a commanding 123 proof, it opens with brown sugar and sweet tea on the nose with delicate florality. The palate delivers a rich marriage of sweet oak, caramel, and deep barrel character, finishing with lingering sweet oak and brown spice. *(00:39:39)* - Old Commonwealth Kentucky Nectar Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (104 Proof): A limited 2,400-bottle release from Old Commonwealth Distillery — operating on the historic Old Hoffman Distillery site in Lawrenceburg — this 4-year-old bourbon is finished in honey casks at 104 proof. The nose is notably sweet with dark chocolate and amaretto-like qualities. The palate is rich and dessert-forward, with a warm honey-laced finish that lingers gently. *(00:36:44)* With the premiere of Spirits of Lawrenceburg set for July 25th on the grounds of the historic T.B. Rippey Mansion, this episode is both a love letter to Anderson County's bourbon past and a preview of what promises to be Bo Cumberland's most expansive documentary yet. From the Hawkins and Bond families of the 1810s to Mary Dowling's indomitable legacy, from the devastation of the Whiskey Trust and Prohibition to the modern revival underway at Old Commonwealth and Larrikin, the full story of Lawrenceburg bourbon is finally getting its screen debut. Tickets are limited to 100 guests for the outdoor premiere event — details on the Spirits of Lawrenceburg Facebook page and the Stone Fences Tours social channels.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION A political firestorm erupts in South Carolina after Republicans fail to advance a congressional redistricting effort tied to a Supreme Court ruling. Tara accuses GOP leadership of intentionally stalling the process to protect Democrat power, while blasting establishment Republicans for “getting soft” in what she describes as a high-stakes political war. The fallout now threatens to ignite major primary battles heading into 2028. FULL SHOW SUMMARY South Carolina politics exploded after Republican lawmakers failed to advance a congressional redistricting effort that supporters argued was necessary following a Supreme Court ruling against race-based district maps. Tara argues the collapse was not accidental, but rather a deliberate effort by establishment Republicans and Governor Henry McMaster to preserve Democrat political influence in the state. The show focuses heavily on criticism of Senate leadership and Republican lawmakers accused of delaying action until early voting began, creating procedural obstacles that ultimately killed the proposal. Tara points specifically to comments from Senator Larry Grooms suggesting the governor waited too long to call lawmakers into session. One of the biggest flashpoints involved criticism of Representative Richard Cash, a conservative lawmaker from Anderson County who voted against advancing the effort once voting had already started. Tara acknowledged Cash's strong conservative record but argued the political stakes were too high for procedural concerns to outweigh the broader fight over congressional control. The episode also connects the South Carolina battle to larger national political themes: Congressional control in 2028 The SAVE Act and election integrity debates Open primaries and establishment Republican politics Claims of increasing Democrat radicalization Allegations involving activist organizations and foreign influence campaigns The show concludes with warnings that establishment Republican networks are still deeply entrenched in South Carolina politics and predicts future primary battles targeting lawmakers viewed as insufficiently aggressive in confronting Democrats. KEY TALKING POINTS South Carolina redistricting effort collapses Claims that GOP leadership intentionally delayed action Henry McMaster criticized for not calling a special session sooner Richard Cash faces backlash despite strong conservative voting history Debate over early voting and election procedure timing Concerns over congressional control heading into 2028 Criticism of bipartisan Republican leadership Discussion of the SAVE Act and voter ID policies Calls for conservative primary challenges in South Carolina National political implications tied to one congressional seat SEO KEYWORDS South Carolina politics, Henry McMaster, Richard Cash, Jim Clyburn, SC redistricting, South Carolina GOP, SAVE Act, election integrity, Republican primary, Shane Massey, Lindsey Graham, congressional map, Supreme Court ruling, conservative politics, 2028 election, Tara Servatius, GOP establishment

The April 21, 2026, broadcast of The Charlie James Show provided a comprehensive look at a day defined by high-stakes diplomacy, local crime, and internal political warfare. The first half of the program was dominated by the suspension of Vice President JD Vance's peace mission to Pakistan and the statewide relief following the capture of Lacey Nicole Cushman after a harrowing police shooting in Barnwell County. Shifting to legislative controversies, James slammed Virginia's move to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact as a "power grab" and reported on the sudden resignation of Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick amid an ethics probe. The latter half of the show zeroed in on the growing rift within the GOP, featuring the Anderson County censure of Representative Don Chapman and the "Back to Basics" movement's push for accountability in the South Carolina and Georgia primaries. The broadcast culminated in major international news with President Trump's successful negotiation of an Iran ceasefire extension, a move framed as essential for securing the Strait of Hormuz and countering China's long-term regional ambitions.

The second hour of the April 21, 2026, broadcast focused on internal party friction and major national security breakthroughs. It opened with Randy Jones discussing the Anderson County GOP's decision to censure Representative Don Chapman, followed by a look at the Back to Basics Breakfast and the growing ideological divide between the South Carolina and Georgia GOP leadership and grassroots activists. The show then broke major news that President Trump had successfully negotiated an extension of the Iran ceasefire, providing a critical diplomatic window before the midnight deadline. The hour concluded with Congressman William Timmons joining the program to discuss the looming government shutdown and the House's strategy to navigate the current budgetary standoff.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bourbon Road podcast! This week, Todd Ritter is holding down the fort solo while Jim Shannon escapes to warmer weather. But Todd isn't drinking alone at the Bourbon Road bar; he's joined by two fantastic returning guests to celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act. Amsey Wenning, the "Alec Baldwin of the show" from the Frankfort Bourbon Society and Bourbon on the Banks, is back, along with filmmaker Bo Cumberland, the director behind the Frankfort: The Heart of Bourbon documentary. The guys dive into a deep discussion about Bo's recent documentary work. With his Frankfort film approaching 22,000 views on YouTube, Bo shares the overwhelmingly positive response it has received. He also talks about his exciting new series, Forging a Bourbon Legacy, which explores the deep, intertwining roots of bourbon history in Anderson County. Through short-form episodes, Bo is uncovering the fascinating stories of families and figures like the Ripy family, the Bonds, Judge McBrayer, and the history behind Wild Turkey, proving that Kentucky's bourbon history is anything but simple. Amsey also shares some incredible news about the Bourbon on the Banks festival, revealing that the charity-driven event recently distributed over $100,000 to local organizations, with volunteers getting a say in where the funds go. Of course, a Bottled in Bond celebration requires some stellar 100-proof whiskeys, and the tasting mat is loaded with unique and highly anticipated pours: First up is a true dusty: 1992 Old Crow Bottled-in-Bond. This 4-year-old Japanese export delivers a classic bourbon nose with rich caramel and dark colors that defy its age. The guys marvel at its luscious mouthfeel and cherry caramel notes, finding it vastly superior to modern iterations of the brand and proving that the "good Old Crow" was truly something special. Next, Amsey brings a unique bottle to the table: Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond. A rare combination of terms, this 6-year-old bourbon achieves its 100 proof through a lower barrel entry proof and meticulous blending rather than adding water. The crew discovers an intriguing almond and amaretto nose, followed by a soft, fruity palate with hints of green apple, light caramel, and a sweet confectioner's sugar finish that drinks surprisingly gentle. Finally, they head south to sample the Old Dominick Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. Produced in Memphis, this expression features a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the Lincoln County process and is aged in West Tennessee white oak with a heavy #4 alligator char. The result is a bold, earthy pour with notes of dark cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, and a pleasant graininess that finishes with a spicy, white pepper kick. Tune in as the guys sip through these incredible bonded whiskeys, debate the merits of short-form versus long-form storytelling, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers! Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

In “Got (Raw) Milk? The Small Family Dairy Farms Behind a Big Controversy,” Gravy producer Bianca Garcia takes listeners to Milky Way Farm, the last dairy in Anderson County, South Carolina, where raw milk sales are keeping the Peeler family afloat.   Their neighbors have succumbed to the pressures that have defined a generation of farmers. Between 2003 and 2022, South Carolina—where the state beverage is a glass of cold milk—lost 75 percent of licensed dairy operations. They have found their market in a niche constituency, though the wider public might disapprove. Raw milk is a risky product, often considered a public health risk.   Raw milk is unpasteurized, meaning it hasn't been through a sanitizing kill step. Scientists worry that it can make consumers vulnerable to bacterial or viral infection, but raw milk lovers can't get enough of the creamy taste and allegedly healthful properties.   This debate is situated in what seems to be a public health emergency. Reports of bird flu infecting dairy cattle leave public health officials worried that drinking raw milk can spread disease. Under the Trump presidency, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has vowed to increase public access to raw milk as a part of his Make America Healthy Again agenda. Raw influencers and “tradwives” promote it endlessly on social media. Through all this noise, it's easy to lose sense of the fact that this is an issue that starts on the farm.   In this episode, you will hear from L.D. Peeler, acting patriarch of Milky Way Farm, his daughter, Iris, and son, Davis. Each plays a role on their small family farm, which raises 120 Jersey cows: Davis works on the farm, L.D. manages the finances, and Iris does the public relations. They each have different, but entangled, stories to tell.   At Milky Way Farm, we are reminded that, just like any other food, raw milk starts with the land, the animals, and the people that make it possible. Guided by the community's desire for a tasty and safe product, the Peelers have shaped their business to meet this need. Thus, in the face of economic pressures of the dairy industry and cultural pressures around the product, they have risen above—like the cream beneath the lid of their bottled pints.
