🎙️ The Andy Beshear Podcast
Real people. Real conversations. Real connection.
Hosted by Andy Beshear, this independent and professionally produced weekly show goes far beyond politics. Each episode features open, unscripted conversations with fascinating guests from all walks of life—leaders, educators, innovators, creators, and everyday people with extraordinary stories to tell.
This isn’t a political podcast—it’s a human one.
We talk about what’s really going on in the world: family, faith, current events, pop culture, hope, hardship, and the things that connect us. In a time when the news cycle is heavy and the world feels divided, this podcast offers something different—a space to listen, learn, grow, and laugh together.
Expect honest dialogue, diverse perspectives, and a host who brings empathy, curiosity, and kindness to every mic check.

Episode 5: Inside the Kentucky Derby — Eric Wood, Coolmore, & Kenny McPeek
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.
