Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) has launched his own podcast, joining California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in recently starting a podcast.
“Each week, host Andy Beshear engages in honest conversations with guests from diverse backgrounds — leaders, educators, innovators, creators, and everyday people with extraordinary stories,” reads a description of “The Andy Beshear Podcast” on its website.
“This podcast delves into topics that connect us all: family, faith, current events, pop culture, hope, and shared challenges. In a world often marked by division, The Andy Beshear Podcast is a refreshing space — a place to listen, learn, grow, and find common ground,” the description continues.
The first episode of Beshear's podcast, "Pilot," came out on Tuesday. In the episode, Beshear talks to prominent political donor John Morgan and Beshear's son Will.
Beshear’s launch of his podcast comes shortly after Newsom launched his. Both governors have been talked about as possible contenders for the 2028 presidential election, and the Kentucky governor’s name was previously mentioned among the possible candidates to serve as a running mate for former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign season.
Newsom’s podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” has featured notable supporters of President Trump, such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, drawing some backlash from those on the left. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Harris’s eventual vice presidential pick, also featured on a recent episode of Newsom’s podcast.
“Thank you to everyone who tuned in for the first episode of the @andybeshearpod … This is a space to come together and do some good. I'm glad you're here and excited for what's next,” Beshear said in a Tuesday post on the social platform X.
