Kentucky State Police launches podcast, ‘Trooper Talk’

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky State Police has launched a new podcast, titled “Trooper Talk,” to invite Kentuckians to conversations.

According to the Kentucky State Police, each episode will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the agency through candid conversations with those who serve. It will also cover crime prevention tips, public safety insights and information about career opportunities with the agency, according to a release on Tuesday.

The agency says “Trooper Talk” will feature both law enforcement members and employees across Kentucky, with two 20-plus-year veterans hosting a debut episode.

Trooper Corey King, Post 16 Henderson, joins Trooper Scottie Pennington, Post 11 London, to pull back the curtain on their journeys as state troopers.

“Trooper Talk goes beyond the flashing lights and headlines to talk about the people behind the badge,” King said. “Every member of the Kentucky State Police has a story to tell – what inspired them to serve, the challenges they’ve faced, and the moments that have shaped their careers. Through real conversations, we hope listeners gain a better understanding of who we are and why serving Kentucky means so much to us.”

Future episodes will expand to highlight historic solved cases and revisit current cold cases – showcasing KSP’s investigative successes while encouraging the public to share information that could help bring long-awaited answers to unsolved cases.

Episode one of “Trooper Talk,” “Shining the Brass,” is available today on KSP’s website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episodes will be released every other Tuesday, with episode two, “The Great Honey Bun Fail,” being available July 28.
