Red and Bold: Uniting Cardinals and Community is a new podcast hosted by President Gerry Bradley. In this monthly program, he welcomes guests from UofL and the broader region to discuss how lessons learned in higher education strengthen communities, fuel innovation and unite people and perspectives.
“The University of Louisville is in a unique position to lead dialogue that creates deeper understanding in a way that can unite us and move our state forward,” Bradley said. “Sometimes being bold begins with changing the conversation.”
Recorded in the Ekstrom Library’s Digital Media Suite, the first episode features U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey and Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers. The conversation focuses on aspects of how elected officials model civility and cooperation, and how they work to balance conviction with the need to compromise. Listen to the first episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
Red and Bold: Uniting Cardinals and Community helps share messages of the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan which prioritizes the university’s efforts around the pillars: learn, work, discover and connect. Bradley, UofL’s 20th president, plans to continue building communication efforts in 2026 with the Cardinal community and beyond.
