Aaron and Dr. Clardy cover the breaking Kentucky political news of the week, leading off with the sad news about Gov. Beshear not quite making it on the 2024 Democratic Presidential ticket. They also cover the less positive news story featuring a Kentucky Governor, the horrible story of Matt Bevin's adopted son's abuse and abandonment in a Jamaican troubled youth facility. The crew also touches on Fancy Farm, and whether the event has much validity and value in today's political climate, before bringing on their guest, writer, historian and labor activist Berry Craig, to discuss Democratic organizing in rural, ruby-red Kentucky counties.
