  More Than Good Taste with Peggy Noe Stevens

  Sep 28, 20261 hourS2

  Peggy Noe Stevens: The First Female Master Bourbon Taster on Belonging, Reinvention, and Legacy | Kentucky's Wandering Realtor Peggy Noe Stevens is known around the world for bourbon, hospitality, etiquette, and shaping how people experience Kentucky, but this conversation goes far beyond the résumé. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Peggy opens up about who she was before the titles: learning under Lincoln Henderson, becoming the first female Master Bourbon Taster, and helping shape the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We talk about the rooms where she didn't always feel like she belonged, what it meant to bet on herself at 40, the advice that carried her through hard seasons, and what she understands about herself now that took years to learn. And of course, there's fun along the way, bourbon culture, hospitality, etiquette, Louisville, and a rapid-fire round that brings out a different side of Peggy. This isn't just a conversation about bourbon. It's a conversation about presence, confidence, belonging, hospitality, reinvention, and legacy.

  Behind Louisville's Tables | The People Powering the Taste of Louisville Taste of Louisville 2026: the people behind Louisville's restaurant community, on and off camera. What does it take to keep this scene thriving? Tom Enyeart of Gordon Food Service and Kimberlie Thompson of US Foods represent competing companies, but they come to the same table as co-chairs of the 52nd annual Taste of Louisville. We filmed this conversation inside the empty Mellwood Art Center, the same space that comes alive on October 14 with more than 40 chefs, 20-plus beverage purveyors, signature tastings, drinks, live music, and people from across Louisville. Tom and Kimberlie share their personal journeys, what diners never see behind the restaurant industry, and what has kept this Louisville food tradition going for more than five decades. We also explore how the event supports Feed Louisville and the Chase Gavin Coat-a-Kid initiative. This conversation is about more than one night of food. It's about service, sacrifice, community, and the people behind Louisville's tables.

  More Than Pizza with Birch Bragg

  Sep 14, 20261h 12mS2

  A Kentucky farm kid, a portable pizza oven, and a mission to fix food access in Louisville, this is the story behind Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub. Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub is more than a place to grab a wood-fired pizza. It's a business built around a much larger mission: supporting Kentucky farmers and bringing fresh, nutrient-rich food into communities where access has historically been limited. In this episode, Stephon sits down with Locals co-owner Birch Bragg to trace the personal journey behind that mission, from growing up on a small farm in Metcalfe County, to working in Hawaii and Lake Tahoe, to hauling a portable pizza oven around with his wife Michelle, to living alone in a camper while helping build West Sixth Farm. Birch opens up about the sacrifices his family made, the difference between following a calling and chasing ambition. He also digs into the hard math of paying farmers fairly while keeping quality food affordable, entering Smoketown with humility, and earning the trust of the community Locals was built to serve. This conversation goes beyond entrepreneurship. It's about food access, family, purpose, community, and what it actually costs to build something you believe needs to exist. We also put Birch's strongest Kentucky opinions on trial, from seasonal eating to pizza's place in the farm-to-table conversation to building the most Kentucky pizza imaginable.

Broadway, Louisville, KY 40204 Watch the full conversation, subscribe to Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, and share this episode with someone who believes local businesses can create meaningful change. #KentuckysWanderingRealtor #LocalsFoodHub #BirchBragg #LouisvilleKY #KentuckyFarmers #FoodAccess #SmoketownLouisville #FarmToTable

  Raised Hand, Raised Voice with Hannah Drake

  Sep 7, 20261h 20mS2

  Hannah Drake on Finding Her Voice, Louisville, and The (Un)Known Project | Raised Hand, Raised Voice Before Hannah Drake became a nationally recognized poet, author, and voice for the unheard, she was a little girl in a fifth-grade classroom with her hand raised, waiting to be chosen. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Hannah opens up about how that moment shaped her voice, why seeing Maya Angelou helped her recognize her own worth, and what Louisville pulled out of the young woman who arrived here from Colorado. We go beneath the public accomplishments to talk about the weight of being "the strong one," the influence of her mother, what uncovering forgotten names through The (Un)Known Project changed inside her, and why she stays invested in a city that has both embraced and hurt her. There's also plenty of laughter as Hannah defends her love for Hot Browns, Louisville tap water, pizza, and cooking, and reveals the person her family and closest friends get to see when the microphone is off. This isn't just a conversation about Hannah Drake's work. It's the story of a little girl who fought to have her voice heard, and the woman who now uses that voice to make sure others are never forgotten. Special thanks to Our Place at Ben Washer Park for welcoming us into their space for this conversation and providing a great lunch afterward.

  She Moves Different with Nachand Trabue

  Aug 31, 20261h 9mS2

  Nachand Trabue doesn't just talk about resilience, she lives it. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, she opens up about growing up in Smoketown, building multiple businesses, and advocating for Black entrepreneurs in Louisville. "I didn't stop moving. I just started moving different." This conversation goes far beyond entrepreneurship. Nachand reflects on loss, leadership, community, and purpose, including how the memory of her son Makel continues to shape the work she does today. We talk about Louisville's relationship with Black entrepreneurship, the real difference between access and investment, and what it means to have a seat at the table and use it. This is a conversation about what happens when life changes the plan, but not the purpose.
