Blind Judge Podcast
As Kentucky's first blind judge, I had an interesting career on the bench. I returned to my private practice and still maintain an interest in many topics related to Louisville and Kentucky in general. This is NOT a podcast about the law. This podcast will focus on local issues, government, sports, history, cooking and will generally involve fun conversations with people you may know, and some you don't. I'll be joined in the studio by my trusty guide dog, Champ. I hope you'll enjoy the discussions, learn a few things and even chuckle from time to time.
