Thinking of the times we are all living through, our bandwidths stretched to the limit, and our patience with those who see things differently stretched thin, contributor Carolyn Dupont, EKU historian and state coordinator of the Red-Blue dialogue facilitators Braver Angels, hosts a conversation with the author of a book about overcoming all of that divisiveness in our daily lives. Gerald Smith discusses his account of Slavery and Freedom in the Bluegrass State. We have Steve Vest on his book about the Kentuckian who coined the phrases “Dog is man’s best friend” and “History is written by the victors.” And, the latest in our series on dog and cat behavior. This week’s focus: that thing about dogs and mail carriers.

Tom Martin hosts Eastern Standard, a weekly radio magazine of interviews and stories about interesting people, places, and things happening in the Commonwealth.
