Caleb O. Brown
Caleb O. Brown is the Chief Executive Officer of the Bluegrass Institute.
Caleb comes to the Bluegrass Institute from the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. where he was director of multimedia and host and executive producer of the Cato Daily Podcast, the institute’s lead public-facing product. He hosted the podcast for nearly 18 years, producing well over 4,000 episodes of daily interviews with policymakers, scholars and journalists. For his consistency and wide-ranging knowledge of policy issues, Brown was dubbed “The Voice of Liberty” by the late longtime Cato Institute leader and Kentucky native David Boaz.
In 2005, Caleb directed the KentuckyVotes.org project for the Bluegrass Institute, which successfully pressured the state’s Legislative Research Commission to publish bill summaries and daily voting records online—a dramatic expansion of transparency for the commonwealth’s legislative branch.
Caleb’s journalism background includes service to 840 WHAS-AM, Snitch Newsweekly, and WLKY in Louisville. His commentary has appeared in Investor’s Business Daily, New York Press, and The Washington Times.
Brown holds degrees in economics from the University of Louisville and George Mason University.
