In the 18th episode of The Andy Beshear Podcast, Andy sits down with University of Louisville Men’s Basketball Head Coach Pat Kelsey and Athletic Director Josh Heird (and fellow dads to teenage daughters) for a wide-ranging, candid and personal conversation about:

🏀 Building character and culture on and off the court
🏀 The blueprint for reinvigorating Louisville basketball
🏀 The impact of social media on college athletes
🏀 Balancing a stressful job (whether it's as a head coach or a political leader!) and being present with family
🏀 And yes… we've got a little inside scoop on what's coming this next season.

But that’s just the warm-up.

Andy chats about today’s hot button issues – from the Texas redistricting saga to the national labor market’s cracks, the global consequences of Trump's tariff policies and even the presidential fitness test, we cover it all.

🎙️ Then, in our "In My Kentucky Accent" segment, Andy talks about the extreme gerrymandering happening in Texas right now and what cannot be lost in this moment: this special session was originally called to deal with the impacts of one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history. Now, more than ever, we've got to stay focused on doing the right thing for families – not scoring cheap political points.

Will Beshear is back with some new Gen Z lingo and this time, we're keeping it all in the family. 🗣️  And don't forget: if you're enjoying your time in the Andy Beshear Podcast fam, please give us a like, a review and a share!

From pressing issues to full court presses—this episode covers it all with heart, honesty, and humor.

🎧 Whether you’re a fan of college hoops or just a part of the fam, this one’s for you.
