On this week’s edition of Eastern Standard: Why “The Great Retirement” is a misnomer, how the pandemic has impacted Kentucky’s economy and why the Kentucky workforce is changing. A look at who benefits when a local bank writes a $10 million gift check. Harnessing darkness and a canopy of stars to attract tourism. Kentucky’s Poet Laureate wins national recognition. And, an ode to life’s ending and renewal.
