Dr. Amy Acton, Bad Bunny and Refusing to Look the Other Way

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.
