Access Louisville Live: Our next live podcast is 4 p.m. Oct. 29. Join us as we talk money and college sports with University of Louisville AD Josh Heird and University of Kentucky Deputy AD Marc Hill. Details and registration here.

Will you be at Lynn Family Stadium next year when a new American football team kicks off? 

We chat about the newly unveiled Louisville Kings on this week's Access Louisville podcast. Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt has been following news of the new team all week — from initial rumors and speculation, to the actual announcement and eventual a chance to hear from the people behind it. 

On the show he tells us about the ownership structure of the league, how Louisville was decided upon and how it fits in the sports landscape of Kentucky. We also chat about how we think fans will react to it. Louisville supports its baseball and soccer teams but other sports, such as minor league hockey, have come and gone. 

After the sports discussion we chat about a major merger involving the largest law firm in Louisville — Frost Brown Todd. 

Reporter Olivia Estright is on the show to tell us about the firm's merger with Gibbons P.C. of New Jersey, creating a new 800-lawyer national firm named FBT Gibbons LLP.

The combined firm will serve Fortune 500 clients to growth-oriented start-ups and mid-sized businesses across the nation.
