This past week marked the conclusion of a 29-plus year run for Renee Shaw at Kentucky Educational Television (KET)...I was blessed to chat with Renee back in 2024...and we're flashing back to our visit on this week's "Blabbin'"!! Renee's fair and balanced hosting made her a perfect fit for KET staples such as "Kentucky Tonight" and "Connections", along with the "Kentucky Edition" news program which she launched a few years ago. How did she land at KET in 1997? What are some of the many highlights from her network tenure, including interviews she conducted and relationships she formed? Answers to these and other questions you may have are awaiting you in the Commonwealth Time Capsule. So take in a brand new brain buster, and join me in celebrating Renee Shaw's well deserved retirement by reliving her reflections from two years ago on "Blabbin' In the Bluegrass"!!
