Episode 30: Jen Psaki

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Andy Beshear Podcast! 🎂 This week, we’re unpacking a whirlwind of headlines and heart — from the White House to working families...This week,  Andy  sits down with Jen Psaki, Host of MSNBC’s “The Briefing” and the MSNBC Original podcast “The Blueprint” for an honest conversation about leadership, communication, and staying grounded in the political spotlight. Jen shares stories from her time behind the podium, lessons learned from navigating high-stakes moments, and her thoughts on how public officials can rebuild trust in government.

Together, Andy and Jen dive into the human side of politics—what it takes to serve with empathy, the importance of truth in public life, and how to keep perspective when the cameras are always rolling.

Next up, First Lady Britainy Beshear crashes this week's “Conversation with the Jo(h)ns,” diving into Trump’s controversial renovation plans for the White House East Wing, new Canadian tariffs sparked by a Reagan ad dispute, and the looming expiration of SNAP benefits as the government shutdown drags on. 

Finally, AFGE President Everett Kelley joins to talk about the impact of the federal shutdown on America’s public servants, what solidarity means in action, and why the people who keep our government running deserve our gratitude and support. ✊

🎙️ It’s a packed episode of policy, perspective, and partnership — with a little extra Winnie along the way. 🐾
