  • If you are in Kentucky, a former Kentuckian that misses home listen to this show.

    KET is a gem in the Commonwealth. When I went to school out of state I would watch KET coverage when I would think about home. Some of the best journalists in the country who are actually doing the job of journalism. God bless you KET. You give me hope that we can actually get though these times.
