This week, Aaron, Nate and Kimberly bring you a recap of Fancy Farm, along with a cringe-worthy national news moment that it generated. Then, we have a VERY important interview in the campaign corner, with Courtney Rhoades Mullins, the black lung organizer with the Appalachian Citizens Law Clinic, who tells us about a newly proposed federal regulation on silica dust, and whether it will actually protect miners. Then, we talk Kentucky politics with Dr. Brian Clardy, associate history professor at Murray State and chair of the Kentucky Humanities Council. Finally, we close out with an invitation to join us August 19th in Lexington at our election campaign kick-off meeting!
