Our travelogue.


There's a particular rhythm to life in Derby City, a beat that feels both timeless and urgently of the moment. The Bluegrass Blues Podcast taps directly into that rhythm, moving beyond the headlines to explore the real political and social currents shaping the community. Hosts Jesse Lewis and Amy Singz don't just report the news; they get into the how and the why, examining the government decisions and cultural shifts that affect daily life. Each conversation feels like pulling up a chair at a local diner for a frank, often surprising, talk about where we're from and where we might be headed. You'll hear nuanced discussions that grapple with fundamental questions of identity and purpose-what it means to be part of this place, the challenges it faces, and the collective responsibility of its citizens. This isn't a broadcast from a distant studio; it's a grounded dialogue born from the streets and neighborhoods, offering listeners a deeper understanding of the forces at play. Tune in to this podcast for a thoughtful, sometimes gritty, but always authentic take on the issues that matter, straight from the heart of the Bluegrass.
