Randall Weddle may no longer be a Mayor but he's still making news; and fellow mainstay FCPS joins him in a busy news week
Are there important things going on in the world? Sure. But this week, the real focus for KPW has been on the UK candidacy of Count Binface. The Crew discusses that, and other, less important stories such as JCPS and FCPS scandals, Senator McConnell,... more
Back by popular demand, former State Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer joins the show to talk State Fair Board drama, air conditioning, and the US Supreme Court and, the crew works to answer the question: do aliens walk among us?
FCPS has progressed from total cluster to raging dumpster fire, AG Coleman takes on predictive markets, inflation hits Iran (in a good way, for the IRGC), and some goats draw the ire of a union.

In today’s, often toxic and politically divided, environment, this podcast provides some much needed commentary to today’s news. Look forward to listening weekly!
Silly drivel from uninformed host who are blissfully unaware of their own propaganda bubble. Many european countries banded fluoride (an IQ lowering neurotoxin) in their water decades ago. Stop geoengineering /weather modification bills are popping up in many states due to increased aerial spraying and increased public awareness. The general public is not in favor of toxic dimmed skies and has never given consent. Halting it nationally starts at the state level.
The only thing I would change is to add a robot with a microphone that follows Abby and Jared around so they are more audible. And more F1 updates.
Edit: also whenever left a 1 star review with no comment is clearly the anonymous Twitter troll that Tres referenced.
The only thing the show is missing is the unpredictability of a live audience.
This podcast is great no matter which party you belong to. My only critique would be that the name is “Kentucky Politics Weekly”, and we are lucky to get an episode per month.

A sharp, locally focused political roundtable that covers Kentucky politics with a mix of insider analysis, campaign dynamics, and national context. Episodes blend practical campaigning talk, policy debates, and colorful banter among three regular hosts, often weaving in behind-the-scenes insights, local government issues, and current events. Noteworthy is the host team's insider perspective (political operatives and consultants) and the informal, candid tone that can mix serious policy with lighthearted humor. Potential listeners include political professionals, journalists, and engaged residents who want blunt takeaways and a heuristic read on Kentucky's political landscape.
