We're back in the Big Apple at the SiriusXM HQ for a brand new episode featuring Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about legacy, loyalty, and what it really means to lead.

From growing up in New York to becoming the face of Kentucky basketball, Pitino opens up about arriving at the University of Kentucky in the late ’80s when the program was climbing out of one of its toughest chapters, and what rebuilding trust with players, fans, and an entire commonwealth looked like day-by-day. He reflects on his time at University of Louisville and what he learned from the less than ideal ending. We talk about Bad Bunny's SuperBowl performance, the extreme division in America, heated rivalries and how Pitino handles politics both on and off the court.

Plus, the Jo(h)ns are back in business for a conversation among friends. We're covering the SuperBowl halftime show reviews, catching up on everything you may have missed offscreen with our Primed for 2026 candidates and what's to come next for the Podcast. And Andy's daughter, Lila, brings us a brand new Gen Z Lingo: cooked vs. cooking. Hint: Neither of them have to do with a kitchen.

It's a can't-miss episode whether you're a basketball fan or not – we're cooking this week and you don't wanna miss out. Tune in now!

Amy’s story is deeply Ohio-rooted and anything but easy. Raised in Youngstown, she grew up facing poverty, abuse, hunger, and periods of homelessness. She put herself through college and medical school, completed her residency and went on to serve as a doctor, public health expert, and Director of the Ohio Department of Health. Across party lines, Amy built a reputation for steady leadership, problem-solving, and putting people first.

We dig into the rising stakes of the Ohio governor’s race – from new polling and the economic pressures facing working families, to Vivek's baffling choice to call Medicaid a “mistake.” Amy shares her take on what it all means for families, communities, and the future of the Buckeye state.

And because this is the Andy Beshear Podcast, the episode isn’t all policy. We talk about Amy's love for Ohio and Ohioans and yes, a detour into a certain Raising Cane’s parking lot moment...

Don't miss this week's conversation with the Jo(h)ns to talk about the most recent ICE updates in Minnesota, the latest Epstein file release and some SuperBowl predictions. (Bad Bunny mentioned!)

This week's In My Kentucky Accent is all about Black History Month – the Trump's administration can try to cover it up, but Black history is American history. And it's everywhere.

Season 2 of the Andy Beshear Podcast continues with a powerful conversation featuring former Congresswoman and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland – now running for Governor of New Mexico.

Raised in a military family, a single mom who relied on programs like SNAP and Medicaid, and the first Native American Cabinet Secretary in U.S. history, Deb Haaland brings lived experience to public service and a clear-eyed vision for what government should do for people who are doing everything they can to get by.

Andy and Deb talk about what it means to lead with fierceness, stand up for democracy in moments of chaos, and why governors are the first line of defense against harmful federal policies. Deb reflects on her parents’ service, her own journey to sobriety and public office, and why programs like Medicaid aren’t handouts; they’re lifelines that strengthen families, rural hospitals, and entire communities.

The episode also includes a candid conversation with the Jo(h)ns as they process the latest devastating shooting in Minnesota, the erosion of our civil liberties, and what accountability should look like in moments of national crisis.

And, of course, the episode wraps with the return of Gen Z Lingo, where we really hit a "flow state."

It’s a wide-ranging episode about leadership, fierceness, and why the 2026 midterm elections – in New Mexico and across the country – matter more than ever.
