  • Great resource for locals

    It’s informative and fun! They cover a wide array of topics - keeping me plugged into all aspects of the community. I appreciate their objective, holistic approach to political issues. I like to listen to this pod first before I dive into more “partisan” sources.

  • Good choice of topics…

    I just listened to the episode with Robby. I really appreciate this podcast has highlighted an important, yet overlooked, lack in this city when it comes to disability access.

    Robby was such a good guest for you to choose. I could relate to him so much. Thank you for asking him thoughtful questions.

    If your ideas and guests continue to be this good, consider me a loyal listener.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can New Legislation Solve Nashville’s Child Care Crisis?
Q: What advice would you give to someone considering opening a childcare center?
Start with building confidence and tenacity, seek pre-licensing support from Bridge Network, and connect with established providers who can guide you through the process; you don't have to go through it alone.
Can New Legislation Solve Nashville’s Child Care Crisis?
Q: How would the proposed legislation change things for providers like you?
The plan to remove restrictive zoning barriers, streamline permitting, and simplify approval could reduce delays, cut through bureaucratic red tape, and help daycares open much more quickly, similar to how other small businesses operate.
Can New Legislation Solve Nashville’s Child Care Crisis?
Q: Can you tell us about all of the licensing and zoning challenges you faced when trying to open Bridging the Gap?
The licensing process was full of unexpected requirements, from new architectural plans to costly zoning appeals and the lack of a clear DHS-to-zoning relationship, which made the path to opening feel like navigating a maze rather than a straightforward process.
Is Madison Nashville's Best Neighborhood?
Q: If listeners want to follow your work or connect, where can they find you?
Listeners can find Ellen Angelico on social media under her name; the hosts encourage following her music and checking links in show notes for more of her work and performance history.
Is Madison Nashville's Best Neighborhood?
Q: Where do you go for a classic Madison experience?
Ellen describes a layered day starting with a market, a stroll through Amquistation, and deeply local spots like Brad's Barber Shop, followed by a park visit and small local eateries—painting Madison as a walkable, community-driven day.
