This week on the Andy Beshear Podcast, Governor Andy Beshear sits down with leaders on the front lines of the biggest fights shaping our country, from statehouses to courtrooms.

First, New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Sam Bregman joins the conversation to talk public safety, constitutional policing, and building safer communities – plus a little baseball pride as the father of MLB star Alex Bregman.

Then, Oklahoma Democratic leader and candidate for governor Cyndi Munson shares her powerful story. Fom growing up in a working-class family to flipping a Republican-held seat she explains what it takes to run (and win) as a Democrat in a deep red state. The conversation dives into education, affordability, health care, and why balanced leadership matters now more than ever.

Finally, Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward, breaks down the urgent legal battles underway to defend voting rights, protect SNAP benefits, push back against unlawful federal actions, and safeguard the Constitution.

Plus, In My Kentucky Accent Andy shares his thoughts on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling limiting Donald Trump's presidential tariff power and why the rule of law still matters.

This week on the Andy Beshear Podcast, we’re looking north to the great state of Maine for a conversation with five Democratic primary gubernatorial candidates stepping up to shape the future of the Pine Tree State.

Andy sits down with Shenna Bellows, Angus King III, Hannah Pingree, Troy Jackson, and Nirav Shah for an honest conversation about leadership, rural communities, economic opportunity, and what it means to govern with integrity in a politically divided era.

From protecting reproductive freedom and strengthening public education to supporting working waterfronts, small businesses, and the people who keep Maine running, each candidate shares their vision for the state – and how their personal journeys have shaped their approach to public service.

Andy also digs into what it takes to win as a Democrat in a state that values independence, common sense, and results over rhetoric.

It’s a thoughtful, spirited conversation about the future of Maine – and what strong, steady leadership looks like in 2026.

We're back in the Big Apple at the SiriusXM HQ for a brand new episode featuring Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about legacy, loyalty, and what it really means to lead.

From growing up in New York to becoming the face of Kentucky basketball, Pitino opens up about arriving at the University of Kentucky in the late ’80s when the program was climbing out of one of its toughest chapters, and what rebuilding trust with players, fans, and an entire commonwealth looked like day-by-day. He reflects on his time at University of Louisville and what he learned from the less than ideal ending. We talk about Bad Bunny's SuperBowl performance, the extreme division in America, heated rivalries and how Pitino handles politics both on and off the court.

Plus, the Jo(h)ns are back in business for a conversation among friends. We're covering the SuperBowl halftime show reviews, catching up on everything you may have missed offscreen with our Primed for 2026 candidates and what's to come next for the Podcast. And Andy's daughter, Lila, brings us a brand new Gen Z Lingo: cooked vs. cooking. Hint: Neither of them have to do with a kitchen.

It's a can't-miss episode whether you're a basketball fan or not – we're cooking this week and you don't wanna miss out. Tune in now!
