We're bringing you a very writer-forward installment of CoT - returning co-host Nate will be sharing a couple of big stories of Kentucky writers getting some well-deserved kudos, Mitch is (of course) a focus of federal Kentucky political news and Kimberly has GOOD NEWS about her favorite subject in News under 5, then we’ve got our Campaign Corner focus on the KY 93rd House District Race with Lamin Swann and we’ll then bring on Kentucky writer Teri Carter, who has been tackling some hot button issues with her unique Kentucky voice - she’ll also share with us what it was like running for elected office as a progressive on the GOP ballot. We’ll then close with our call to action segment - whew! That’s a lot, and as always, we’ll try our best to bring it all to you in just about an hour - we know your time is precious.
