Episode 16

What would you do if your body was crushed and splintered, and your back was fried, after being slammed from your expensive high-tech racing wheelchair by a truck?

Would you be able to recover and continue to race in a marathon in Japan? 

My guest could and did. He is Paul Erway from Shelbyville, Kentucky.

Next, he organized and endured a challenge to race in 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks.

There's a particular rhythm to life in central Kentucky, a blend of rolling hills, deep history, and vibrant community that Tom Hailey captures in his Bluegrass Region Voices and Views podcast. This isn't a travelogue or a dry history lesson. Instead, Tom sits down with the people who give this area its character-artists crafting in studio barns, community organizers planting roots for the future, and historians uncovering layers of the past. You'll hear stories from the front porches of small towns and the bustling kitchens of local eateries, getting a genuine sense of place that goes far beyond the postcard. Each episode feels like a personal introduction, whether it's spotlighting a family-run orchard you've never heard of or a cultural festival that defines a community's spirit. The conversations are meandering and authentic, often uncovering the quiet passions and unexpected projects that truly shape the region's identity. For anyone curious about the soul of Kentucky beyond the racetracks, or for locals looking to rediscover the richness in their own backyard, this podcast offers a thoughtful, human-centered audio tour. It’s about listening in on the stories that are already being told, if you just know where to find them.
