Aaron, Doug and Nema discuss the war on woke and its chief warrior, Kelly Craft. It’s still Earth Month, so Aaron tells us about a few federal programs Kentucky is and isn’t pursuing. And, we talk with Ag Commissioner candidate, Sierra Enlow to find out what in the heck even is ag tech?
Aaron, Kimberly, and Chris check in on the KY political news of the weak, with an eye on the races happening in one month (and how much money the Krafts seem to be flushing down the toilet), what’s happening with gun safety, and how we could do better for our planet.

The bad bills keep coming, but Chris is there like always, doing his best to stop the madness and the badness.

Aaron, Martina and Willie weigh in on the horror show that is the Kentucky General Assembly, and then interview Keith Elston, Founder and Legal Director of the Kentucky Youth Law Project.
Doug & Nema bring you up to speed on the current state of play in KYGA; Nema spits fire about the lack of support for EKY flood victims; and then we bring on Rep. Lisa Willner & Dr. Jennifer Price to discuss efforts to protect KY’s LGBTQ+ community from the horrors of conversion “therapy.”
