  • 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.

September 14, 2026
Q: What needs to change in Kentucky's data center regulations to balance taxpayer costs with growth?

August 25, 2026
Q: What's the number one scam you're seeing right now in Central Kentucky?
Employment scams and cryptocurrency scams are the top concerns, often involving remote work offers and crypto investment pitches, with red flags including upfront fees and requests for personal information.

Q: If a best friend asked you to run as lieutenant governor, what would you say?
I would explain that I still have too much left to accomplish as agriculture commissioner, that I value my current role and responsibilities, and that my focus remains serving the ag community while keeping options open for the future.
