Self-Guided Podcast Tour Louisville: Ritual, Myth, and Mint

Journey through Louisville's historic core, from the muddy banks of the Ohio River to the Jazz Age ballrooms of Fourth Street and the Victorian porches of Old Louisville. Uncover how steamboat rivalries, frosted julep beakers, late-night hotel kitchens, and grassroots parades transformed an elite sporting pastime into a complex shared myth, while recovering the silenced stories of the Black horsemen who built the race and the working hands that keep its traditions alive.
