Derby Day may be in the rearview, but the stories (and the laughs) are still fresh.
In Episode 5, The Andy Beshear Podcast takes you on location at Churchill Downs for our biggest and boldest episode yet.

Trainer Kenny McPeek joins us to reflect on his unforgettable 2024 Oaks-Derby double and the history-making moments that made headlines. Then, Charlie O'Connor of Coolmore America gives us a peek behind the curtain into the world of breeding, sales, and how champions are made long before they ever see the starting gate.

Next up, we switch gears with former NFL pro and Louisville native Eric Wood, who shares his passion for Kentucky traditions and what Derby week means beyond the track.

Finally, Churchill Downs GM Mike Ziegler joins Andy and John for a little friendly competition. Let’s just say our Derby trivia skills… need some work.

Whether you're a racing insider or just love the magic of the first Saturday in May, this Derby Special is packed with unforgettable moments, real conversations, and plenty of Kentucky heart.

Let’s keep the conversation going—because this podcast isn’t about politics. It’s about people.

Senator Chris Coons of Delaware joins The Andy Beshear Podcast for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation to kick off Episode 4. From his work on bipartisan ethics to founding the Chicken Caucus (yes, really), Senator Coons shares what drives him, how his faith and values shape his approach to politics, and why service still matters in a fractured political world.

Then, it’s time for a check-in with Jon and John, where the group breaks down the ripple effects of Trump’s first 100 days—from the stock market to layoffs, and what it really means for working families. (Don’t worry, there’s time to celebrate Jon’s favorite NFL Draft pick, too.)

In In My Kentucky Accent, Andy gets fired up about the mass federal firings, explaining what these moves mean beyond the headlines—and how they could impact everyday Americans across the country.

And finally, it’s the premiere of our brand-new segment: Ask Andy. Andy’s joined by Britainy Beshear to answer your questions—and let’s just say, we’re finally addressing the single most-asked question across all our social media platforms. (Yes, that one.)

Trust us—you’ll want to stick around for this one.

This week’s episode brings big names, real talk, and a few unexpected laughs.

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar joins Andy for a candid conversation about her Minnesota upbringing, how her family’s values shaped her career, and the real impact of tariffs on farmers across the country. Plus—don’t miss her hilarious story about a turkey that refused to be pardoned.

Later, Louisville Commonwealth Attorney Gerina Weathers shares powerful insights on public safety, attacks on diversity, and what it means to lead through change.

Jon and John return to break down the week’s federal shakeups, agency firings, and the loss of Pope Francis—and yes, they have thoughts.

And finally, Britainy Beshear makes her first full appearance, sharing five things you probably didn’t know about Andy. (Spoiler: horses, Ale-8, and a cowboy hat all make an appearance—and she doesn't hold back.)

It’s another week of big issues, meaningful moments, and conversations with heart. Let’s make sense of the chaos, together.
