Welcome to Flyover Country with Scott Jennings. If you‘ve followed my commentary on tv or newspapers, you know I‘m a conservative — but sometimes I like to zig when everyone else is going to zag. You‘re going to hear podcast versions of my columns. You‘re going to hear me talk at length about some of the stuff we do on TV. You‘re also going to hear me talk to guests and other panels to have insightful conversations about the news. Most of the time though, you‘re just going to hear me giving you the news and giving you my commentary. I‘ll always tell you the truth, and I‘ll always be happy to engage with our listeners. Enjoy Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

Kentuckians, and the rest of middle America, got a strong reminder this week of the two great Senators that hail from our commonwealth.

On today's podcast special guest Sean Southard joins the roundtable and we discuss all of that - and more! Join us!
