Two guest governors. One podcast. Zero teleprompters.


Episode 9 of The Andy Beshear Podcast hits the road to Portland, Oregon for a special on-location edition at the Democratic Governors Association—and you’re invited behind the scenes!

First up, meet Governor Matt Meyer of Delaware: a former middle school teacher, Teach for America alum, and passionate public servant who once volunteered on Joe Biden’s campaign. His goal as governor? Deliver more for working families than he ever could in the classroom. Plus, Matt drops a hot take about rooting for Trump (yes, really)—and shares the secret trick behind his famous fruit smoothies.

Then, Governor Bob Ferguson of Washington State joins the conversation. He’s a lifelong chess champion, avid rock climber, and the former Attorney General who famously filed the first lawsuit that defeated the Trump administration in court. He opens up about staying grounded, fighting for public safety, and the joy (and challenge) of keeping up with his kids—whether it’s scaling mountains or throwing heat on the softball field.

These two new governors bring big ideas, big heart, and big “why I serve” energy. From what drives them to what keeps them centered, this is a rare peek into the minds (and hobbies) of two of the country’s newest leaders.

This episode may be a little different, but it’s packed with purpose—and personality.
