Can't believe this isn't a solid 5 stars yet! This publication is pretty amazing. If you are new to…read moretown, you need to immediately start looking out for where all near your house supplies the LEO each week. Social planning? Done. They always cover and share unique and fun events and even the ads tend to be spot on. It makes it easy to be in the know. Beyond that, there are lots of talented writers, whether you want to catch topical stories or funny/quirky blogs like the Bar Belle. Who doesn't like knowing about bars and funny drunken texts? Not to mention this news magazine is free. Yup - free. And pretty easy to find. Coffee shops, restaurants, liquor stores, and on and on. Pick it up and get your enlightenment on.

I can't believe it's been over 2 years since anyone reviewed Leo. It's still going strong. It was…read morerecently purchased by Aaron Yarmuth, son of Leo founder John Yarmuth, (now Congressman John Yarmuth). And his first order of business was to lay off a good portion of Leo's senior staff, (including "The Bar Belle" Sara Havens on the exact day of her 15 year anniversary with Leo). And causing 2 more of their senior staff to walk over contract disputes. But in spite of that, it's still coming out weekly and filled with almost all of the content you've come to know and love, minus a few columns obviously. Need to know what band is playing where? They got you covered. Need to know restaurant suggestions? They got you covered. Need to know what's going on in KY politics? Covered. Reviews of some of the latest dvd releases? Covered. Need to read letters from people bitching at other people in response to the letters they wrote to other people bitching at people in response to people who wrote letters to other people bitching, ad nauseam? Leo certainly has you covered. In addition there are also many well written and thought-provoking stories regarding, well, pretty much anything Louisville or KY related. And let's not forget the real reason we Louisvillians and Southern Indianans, (them dang Hoosiers), pick this up each and every week, News of the Weird and Savage Love columns! A great way to show out of staters that not all of KY is the stereotypical toothless redneck hicks the rest of the country seems to think we are. And yes, please notice I said not all of KY. Anyway it's free. Why the hell would you not pick it up? Makes for a great morning read while eating your Fruity Pebbles anyway.

The WFPK station was originally a stand alone local public radio station and has now consolidated resources at this location. We were thrilled to be invited to the private studio facilities to view a live on-air performance by Soul Asylum for a 1/2 hour Saturday segment. The band was in town to perform at the Bourbon and Beyond Concert in September 2024. Introductions and interview were conducted by radio host Kyle Meredith and meet-and-greet was held afterward with lead singer Dave Pirner !!!

Doors open at 11:30, show starts at noon, and they are finished at 1. You can just brown-bag your own meal, or if you're a public radio member you can make arrangements for a free sandwich from City Cafe. The studio is great, and the musicians are better. I've seen touring acts like the Dirty Guv'nahs and Jason Isbell here, but I've enjoyed even more being introduced to local musicians like Houndmouth and Ben Sollee. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the shows here are so satisfying that I usually don't bother to go see the bands play their paid gigs afterward. (But I do tend to throw the musicians a bone by buying their CDs.) The down side? Well, the performance studio is limited to 70 people, which means there are no guarantees, unless you're willing to line up early. And because you want to get there a few minutes early, you're committing yourself to a full siesta -- an hour and a half or more -- something most of us working stiffs can't afford during a workday. I only wish I could play hookey more often. As it is, I try to carefully reward myself every few months. Rarely am I disappointed when I go. Check their website for the schedule.

As a sustaining member for eight years or so, you could say that I'm smitten with Louisville Public…read moreMedia. I've also been hearing everything about the pledge drive all week. And since I already give to LPM, I thought I could perhaps show my appreciation in another way, by penning this review. Plus I've been hearing about the pledge drive because I listen to LPM's stations -- specifically 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville and 89.3 WFPL News Louisville -- several times a day. When I'm in the shower, getting ready to go out, driving around town and working at my desk, I either have the radio on one of these stations or am streaming via the LPM app. I love that on WFPK I discover new music and develop a deeper appreciation for music that I may not have given a full listen to before. Kyle Meredith, John Timmons and Laura Shine, in particular, always curate a great mix of songs. And Duke Meyer, via "Relics," makes me fall deeper in love with classics. WFPK also hosts great "Live Lunch" segments that I've been lucky to attend in studio. The Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore Live Lunch is still one of my favorites. Plus they put on Waterfront Wednesday -- a summer event staple in Louisville. And when I want to learn more about the world around me, I tune into WFPL. I love the shows -- local and national -- that I find on this station, and especially so because they usually take an intelligent, deeper dive into current issues. And on weekends, I'm always eager to listen to "This American Life," "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," "Ask Me Another" and more. Plus its Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting has shown light on several stories that may not have been covered otherwise. I lived for a short while outside of Louisville, and that made me love LPM even more. Louisville is lucky to have such a resource on its airwaves. I will continue to be a sustaining member for years to come.

After he drove my car, I noticed 89.3 was saves to one of my pre-set buttons and now I'm hooked. The stories shared are current, thorough, unique and interesting. I appreciate the sound bites from people interviewed on the topic which really holds your attention. Live shows are aired from various cities and at times, Louisville is a spot visited. I once took my husband to a show and left surprised at how much I enjoyed seeing the people in person - even funnier than hearing the banter on the radio. Take a break from repetitive music and dial in to this great station and organization. You will not be able to ignore their passion for bringing news to the masses.
