Description

This week Doug takes a deep dive into the anti-DEI efforts of the KY GOP that we briefly touched on last week - we’ve got a bit of Louisville black history, Aaron's convinced Sen. Carroll is a fan of the show - then we connect with Misty Skaggs, the organizer of EKY Mutual Aid - a group doing important work to help folks out on the eastern side of our commonwealth. Finally, we close with our call to action! Nothing says LOVE, like an hour of KY political chat & chew. Join us!!
