The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks logo

On this edition of The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks, we look back on two years since the first positive COVID-19 case in Northern Kentucky, the impact on the region’s health care facilities, and what we learned about our local part of the world during this deadly pandemic. We are joined by St. Elizabeth Healthcare Chief Medical Information Officer Dr. Barry Wendt.

And why exactly are we paying more at the pump for gas? How inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and other economic factors are playing a role. University of Cincinnati Associate Professor of Economics Michael Jones is with us.

Then we visit Klingenberg’s Hardware which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. How the local small business has navigated a hundred years of change – and a global pandemic – and remained a staple of the Northern Kentucky community.
