In the debut edition of The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks, the new podcast from LINK nky:
*We talk with Democratic 4th District congressional candidate Matt Lehman, a Newport businessman who hopes to unseat Republican incumbent Thomas Massie. Lehman recognizes the challenge of running as a Democrat in the Northern Kentucky district, but says he’s in it to win it.
*We take you back to the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdowns and how we all felt in those early, uncertain days. Northern Kentucky University Professor Banwari Mittal explores the issue in his new book, Voices from Behind the Mask: Remembering How We Felt as the Lockdown Began.
*A visit to Ritte’s Corner in Latonia shows a burgeoning renaissance in Covington’s “second downtown.” Hear from locals on why they are feeling optimistic about a Latonia comeback.
*Plus, revisiting an 1875 letter to the editor of The Ticket, a 19th century newspaper published in Covington. The similarities to some modern sentiments are striking.
