It's Derby week in the Commonwealth and the Louisville Thoroughbred Society's own Gene McLean is back for our annual KPW Derby preview, this year brought to you by the Associated General Contractors of Kentucky. Also, Tres has grievances to be aired and KY Wired rears it's ugly head yet again.

The KY Senate race gains a candidate, there's going to be a new pope, and there may be a new Secretary of Defense soon. Also, we learn important lessons about masquerading as a creepy clown and not licking your friends and co-workers.

We're back from a spring break hiatus. We've got KY Senate finance deadlines, issues with KSP, RFK Jr idiocy, bad Beshear poll numbers, and more!

It will never stop raining and Trump has imposed tariffs on penguins. Not sure what else we can say about this one other than ignore the fact that Abby's mic isn't turned on the first 10 minutes. It gets better.....

It's Sine Die in the KY General Assembly and it's a rare bonus Tennessee Hate Week as the Cats gear up to play the trash men from down south. Also, KPW Foreign Correspondent Jason Emert joins the show to talk Signalgate

Veto week is upon the KY General Assembly but that doesn't mean there's no news. We've got issues at KREF, Trump versus the DOE, Orcas wearing hats, and corrupt snack food magnates.

Whether it's the grind of the General Assembly Session or the fact that the SEC doesn’t know how to schedule and UK finished playing at nearly 2 AM, the KPW crew is tired. But the show must go on. We've got a look of the week that was in Frankfort, UK not teaching students about tariffs, and a summary of Bologna-gate.

Tariffs are here. Or they're not. Or maybe they are, we're not sure. Either way, we've got all the KY and national political news you need. Also, the police blotter may be becoming a standard segment of the podcast because we've got a lot this week.

We're past the midway mark in the 2025 KY General Assembly session and a few bills are moving. The KPW crew talks about library boards, conversion therapy, professor tenure, and more. Also, Trump-Zelenskyy goes south, measles in Kentucky, John Morgan is forming his own party, and more!

Well, they can't all be winners. Technical "mistakes" and scattershot thoughts by KPW's host plague this one but the crew powers through with discussions about Frankfort, Washington, drug catapults, and wayward seals. The audio gets better half way through once the technical mistakes are discovered, so bear with it.
