Go Back to Class
It’s that unique Kentucky lull between the General Assembly and Derby, so there's not much state news but there’s plenty of national and world events to get to including big votes in Congress, protests on college campuses, and more politicians behaving badly!
Customer Reviews
Good, but Long!
I enjoy listening to this podcast because I am a moderate conservative and new to Kentucky. I like to listen in the morning, but the pod cast is REALLY LONG! If the episodes were even 30 minutes long, I would listen more.
Knock knock. Who’s there? Interrupting Abby. Interrupting Abby Who? *shouting noises*
The only thing I would change is to add a robot with a microphone that follows Abby and Jared around so they are more audible. And more F1 updates.
Edit: also whenever left a 1 star review with no comment is clearly the anonymous Twitter troll that Tres referenced.
Great podcast!
This podcast is great no matter which party you belong to. My only critique would be that the name is “Kentucky Politics Weekly”, and we are lucky to get an episode per month.
