Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

For a Better Tennessee with Jerri Green
Q: What do you understand about life in the Upper Cumberland, and what have rural voters taught you that you didn't know before this campaign?
Green says urban and rural Tennesseans face similar problems, including poverty and underfunded schools. She says rural residents often feel left behind and are eager for political leaders who visit, listen and return after election season.
For a Better Tennessee with Jerri Green
Q: What do you know about this race that the polls don't?
Green says one poll's published result allocated undecided voters to Blackburn, while other polls showed the gap narrowing. She also points to campaign crowds and support from Republicans and independents as signs of momentum.
Earn It with Allison Clark
Q: Recruiting for college sports entered a whole new world since the transfer portal and NIL arrived. What is your job as recruiting coordinator look like now? And how does joining the SoCon change your pitch to players?
Clark says recruiting remains centered on building relationships and finding athletes who fit the program's values. She explains the difference between NIL and revenue sharing, and says Tennessee Tech appeals to athletes seeking a strong education, a supportive community, and a program with tradition.
Earn It with Allison Clark
Q: What did the OVC mean to you, and what's it like to be a part of the staff that turns the page?
Clark describes the OVC as a major part of her playing and coaching career, including conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. She says leaving a long-standing conference is bittersweet, but the Southern Conference is a good geographic and academic fit for Tennessee Tech.
The Playbook with Monica Mowdy
Q: Monica, why are you the best candidate to represent the constituents of District 25?
She highlights varied lived experience as an educator, business owner, and pastor, plus long community involvement and a track record of serving local needs, arguing this makes her well-suited to address education, healthcare, and economic issues.
