Each day, Western Kentucky Newspapers brings the printed word to life through audio, offering a vital connection to local news and stories across the region. This unique podcast from Radio Eye serves as a reading service, specifically designed for individuals who are blind or have disabilities that make reading standard print a challenge.

As of fall 2024, you'll hear the pages of the Henderson Gleaner, the Bowling Green Daily News, the Murray Ledger & Times, the Muhlenberg Co. Leader-News, the Paducah Sun, and the Madisonville Messenger read aloud in their entirety. The result is a comprehensive audio digest of everything from municipal government reports and high school sports scores to feature articles and opinion columns, exactly as they appeared in print. Tuning in provides an unfiltered, daily chronicle of life in Western Kentucky, ensuring that this crucial local journalism is accessible to all. It’s more than a news recap; it’s the community’s newspapers, delivered directly to your ears.
