    From Bourbon Barrels to the Winner’s Circle: Celebrating Kentucky’s Heritage
    Apr 29 2025
    The Bluegrass State’s world-renowned Bourbon Industry is booming — and this week we’re talking with Eric Gregory, President of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, about the economic impact, global reach, and the bold future of bourbon. From heritage brands to new craft distilleries, you'll hear how Kentucky continues to lead the world in America’s native spirit amid tarriff and other challenges.

    Plus — it's a milestone moment for the Kentucky Derby Museum as it celebrates 40 years of preserving the legacy of the most exciting two minutes in sports. We’ll sit down with Katrina Helmer to explore what it takes to keep Derby history alive, the behind-the-scenes care that goes into curating one of Kentucky’s crown jewels, and what exciting exhibits and experiences are on the horizon. From the barrel to the backstretch — it’s a show steeped in tradition, innovation, and Kentucky spirit.

  • Unheard: The Struggle for Mental Health and Autism Care

    Unheard: The Struggle for Mental Health and Autism Care
    Apr 25 2025
    This week on Kentucky Focus with Scott Fitzgerald, we’re putting a spotlight on a growing concern across the Commonwealth—mental health care access and the insurance hurdles that are getting in the way. It’s Autism Awareness Month here in Kentucky, and while awareness is growing, so are the challenges. How far have we come in diagnosing and supporting those living with Autism—and how far do we still have to go? We’ll also introduce you to a new effort from the Mental Health Insurance Reform Task Force, led by the team at Bridge Counseling and Wellness. They’ve launched a powerful new platform where you—patients, families, and providers—can share your own insurance struggles, from denied treatments to surprise bills. Your story could be the key to real change.
