"With each Spirit of the Bluegrass segment, Marvin delivers a masterclass in storytelling. In just 180 seconds, he transports you to unique locales and introduces you to the people who make Kentucky extraordinary—seamlessly blending quirky interviews, stunning videography and captivating natural sound. His unmatched passion and talent make him a true treasure of the Commonwealth. From Paducah to Pikeville, Marvin perfectly captures the Bluegrass spirit.”

– Kristen Pflum, former co-anchor, FOX 56 News

"In Spirit of the Bluegrass, Marvin Bartlett fills the reader with just that--the spirit of quaint, charming places, folksy, salt-of-the earth Kentuckians, and the "small" stories that ring powerfully. Bartlett's uncanny knack for finding all of the above is amazing."

– Steve Flairty, author, columnist
