Podcasts about kentuckians

Teacher unions and superintendents ask for $718 million more in education spending, but some policy groups say more money alone won't improve education outcomes, judge dismisses lawsuit by state auditor against Beshear administration, and how Kentuckians stand to benefit from a new life sciences lab.

In this first part of our two-part series, Professor Andrew Feight and Marlitta Perkins join the Kentucky History Podcast to tell the dramatic story of the Greenup Slave Revolt. This powerful but often overlooked event highlights the courage of enslaved Kentuckians who risked everything in pursuit of freedom along the Ohio River.We'll uncover the revolt's origins, what drove the enslaved to rise up, and how the dramatic confrontation unfolded in Greenup County. Their story not only sheds light on Kentucky's place in the history of slavery but also connects to the larger narrative of resistance and survival across America.Our Links: https://linktr.ee/Kyhistorypod

LEXINGTON, Ky. (September 5, 2025) – September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and September 10th marks World Suicide Prevention Day — a moment to highlight the importance of open, honest conversations about mental health and the resources available to help those in crisis. On this episode of “Behind the Blue”, Dr. Lindsey Jasinski and Dr. Marc Woods, two of the key leaders behind the EmPATH program at Eastern State Hospital, discuss their decades of experience in behavioral health and suicide prevention, and share how their team is helping Kentuckians find hope during some of their most vulnerable moments. They discuss the alarming prevalence of suicide—particularly among young people in Kentucky—and offer actionable insight on how to support someone who may be struggling. They also explain how EmPATH, a low-barrier, 24/7 mental crisis emergency unit, is changing the way patients receive immediate, compassionate mental health care—and why that model is quickly gaining national attention. “Behind the Blue” is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify.

This week we bring you a vital community conversation about the impacts of Data Centers and LG&E/KU's plans to power them on our utility bills, our climate, and our environment. On the evening of August 19, 2025, Forward Radio's proud Community Partner, the Greater Louisville Sierra Club hosted this conversation at United Crescent Hill Ministries with Elisa Owen, Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign Organizer in Kentucky. Corporate energy giant PPL Corporation — parent company of Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities (KU) —is pushing a $3.7 billion fossil-fueled expansion and justifying this as needed to meet surging electricity demand from data centers and industrial projects. Instead of making big corporations pay their fair share, PPL wants Kentucky families to foot the bill through higher rates. Elisa helps us understand Kentucky's Public Service Commission and the process of granting a CPCN (Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity), the issues around emerging data centers, and what we can do as citizen activists to help insure a clean and reliable electric grid that benefits everyone and can power our country into the future while reducing coal and gas emissions, improving public health, and mitigating the impacts of our changing climate.

With a strong commitment to serving the Commonwealth, the department partners with hospitals and clinics statewide, including outreach to rural communities through its stroke care network and traveling pediatric clinics, ensuring Kentuckians have access to specialized care without leaving the state. On this episode of Behind the Blue, Dr. Goldstein talks about the department's origins and its evolution into a leader in patient care, education, and research; highlights some of its most impactful programs, including clinical trials and the neuroscience research priority area; and reflects on what lies ahead as the department looks toward its next six decades of innovation and service. ‘Behind the Blue' is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify.

The Whig Party has been largely forgotten today, but prior to the creation of the Republican Party in 1854, it was the main competitor to the Democratic Party. In Kentucky, the Whig Party dominated state politics, as it held the governor's mansion from 1836 to 1851. In 1848, support from prominent Kentuckians like John J. Crittenden proved crucial to the nomination and election of Zachary Taylor, a man who had himself been raised in Kentucky. Join us today for a talk with a researcher and editor who is leading the project to compile the letters of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. Dr. Michael D. Cohen is the Editor/Project Director of the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore at American University. He holds a PhD in history from Harvard University. He has published Reconstructing the Campus: Higher Education and the American Civil War. He previously worked on the James K. Polk project at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he served as editor. As part of this project, he helped oversee (and edited) the book: James K.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   You've probably seen headlines by now declaring 2024 to be the podcast election. It certainly did seem like a breaking out point that established podcasts as important messaging vehicles for any future presidential candidates.    But back in 2015, podcasts had far less clout, and most of the political shows that did gain traction were produced in DC and New York. That didn't stop Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, two Kentuckians with very little media experience, from launching Pantsuit Politics, a show that quickly amassed an audience of listeners that were spread out all across the US. They eventually built out a well diversified business that includes advertising, paid subscriptions, and live events, and they're now trying to expand their reach on YouTube.    In a recent interview, Sarah and Beth explained how they came up with the idea for the show, where they found their audience, and why they don't host their events in large cities.  

In this episode, Brian is joined by Emily Rasmussen, a member of the UofL Department of Political Science, a proud Kentuckian, and enthusiastic explorer of the Commonwealth. With a deep love for the state and a curiosity that drives her to understand its people, places, and traditions, and politics, Emily shares how she experiences Kentucky up close and how that perspective can open people to all the unique opportunities in the state.

Morris came out swinging with his ad taking out the trash, in which he spoke directly of the disasters McConnell has created as a career politician.

When we think of border states and the Civil War, we often think about Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware. When we think of fugitive slaves, we often think of the Ohio River or the Mason-Dixon line as a boundary between slavery and freedom. But did you know that similar debates over the meaning of freedom and slavery occurred in the Washington Territory? Join us today for a discussion with a former research fellow, who will explain how she came across a fugitive slave in Washington Territory, and what his story tells us about fugitivity and freedom in a border region. Dr. Lorraine McConaghy is a public historian. She received a PhD in history from the University of Washington. In 2010-11, she received a fellowship to conduct research on Richard Dickerson Gholson, a Kentuckian who became the 3rd Territorial Governor of Washington. We are here today, however, to talk about Dr. McConaghy's book that she co-authored with Judy Bentley: Free Boy: A True Story of Slave and Master.

Inspired by her two WWII veteran grandfathers, she created her Community Service Initiative: Operation Gratitude – For the Fallen, For the Fighting, For the Veterans.

She later received her grandfather's Purple Heart, a symbol of the sacrifice she seeks to honor.Through Operation Gratitude, Chapel has run over 25 half-marathons and 3 full marathons to raise funds for the Honor Flight Network. She also founded the Run to Fly 10K series across 10 Kentucky counties and helped launch the Youth Ambassador Program with Honor Flight Kentucky. She served on the national relay team for Carry The Load for three consecutive Mays, helping raise $2 million to support veterans and their families.Chapel also created a violin/harp CD titled Gratitude as a music therapy gift for veterans, inspired by how music helped heal her grandfather. Deeply involved in the arts growing up, she performed in musicals, played harp and fiddle, and sang at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green. A proud graduate of Bowling Green High School and Belmont University, Chapel earned dual degrees in Musical Theatre and Corporate Communication.She completed the Disney College Program and now lives in Lexington, KY.

What are Louisville's biggest assets and how can we best leverage those?That was recently a topic of discussion on the Access Louisville podcast. We took the weekly LBF show live for a special episode — recorded in front of an audience and with three guests: Jennifer Barber, office member in charge, Louisville, Frost Brown ToddScott Catlett, chair, Impetus for a Better Louisville and former Yum Brands Inc. chief legal and franchise officerMike Mountjoy, founding partner and chairman emeritus of MCM CPAs and Advisors (now Cherry Bekaert)All three were members of LBF's Power 50 list of Louisville's most influential business people. They are all also at different stages of their careers, with Barber making her first appearance on that list, Catlett being a regular and Mountjoy being part of the inaugural Power 50 Hall of Fame. We talked about their careers for a bit at the top of the show, with each sharing their proudest accomplishments.After the career talk, we got to talking about what Louisville should look to accomplish as a city — and they all three had great takes: On building the economy"We talk about bringing big companies here — we don't need to bring the big companies here. We need to bring people here," said Mountjoy. He advocates 0% income tax as a means of doing that. "The businesses follow the people, not the other way around. There aren't enough engineers in Louisville. There need to be more. There's not enough technology people here." On getting involved"One thing about our community is it's small enough if you want to make a difference you can," said Catlett. "There are plenty of organizations where you can contribute and make a difference and it's gonna take that. We can't look to the leaders of the past. We need people to step up — of today's generation, of tomorrow's generation — to really be a force for good in the community." On the workforce"The talent pool is still very strong. Outside of the legal industry, I think the issue for Kentucky and for Louisville is less the talent pool and more workforce participation," said Barber, noting a troubling trend within that metric. "We've got to increase our workforce participation. We're going to have to tackle some things like housing issues and childcare issues to get more Kentuckians and more Louisvillians into that talent pool." Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Auditor Allison Ball launches an investigation into the state's medical cannabis program, Gov. Beshear talks about the flood response, an increase in calls to the state's gambling hotline, helping low-income Kentuckians go on to college, and Kentucky has a new poet laureate. 

Louisville's mayor says flooding cleanup is on track ahead of the Kentucky Derby Festival, Buffalo Trace Distillery reopens to visitors on a limited basis, Kentucky's Senate President praises Trump's executive orders related to coal, a ceremonial swearing-in for Kentucky first woman to lead to the state supreme court, and some young Kentuckians are bucking the trend by choosing to stay on the farm.

Beshear Vetoes a bill that stops taxpayers funding the gender transition services, hormones, and surgeries for 10,000 - 15,000 Kentuckians that the Beshear Admin says is currently receiving those services and using Medicaid to pay for them. The Media has been heavily pushing a narrative on Matt Bevin when it comes to the treatment of his son Jonah Bevin, but there is more going on with that story. They are hoping you don't read the full articles and ask questions like "What should a parent do in this situation?"

Today I sit down with Cody Mobley of Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars! His family has been in the tobacco and cigar business in one way or another for around 100 years! They have a dozen/s of blends and lines of premium cigars and are the makers of the Bourbon Cigar Lineup! Their families have grown, cured and created warehouse distribution for burley tobacco since the beginning. For over 150 years, The Mobley, DeVary, and Jackson Families have seen the once fertile burley tobacco crops slowly fade into the hands of large global corporations and overseas markets. Today, the same ambition, hard work and determination once used to supply locally-grown tobacco to others is being gathered and nurtured with other premium blends to create a world class line of fine cigars. With the help of local Kentuckians both in tobacco production and as newly trained cigar rollers, a once slowing tobacco supply market to the cigarette companies is now considered a vibrant opportunity in the very popular global cigar market. Show Sponsors: Small Batch Cigar .com use the code "dogsofwar" for a 10% discount and free shipping at checkout. OC Raw Dog food company!
