    These folks are a great listen for me, mom of a Nash daughter, on local happenings. City problems seem to be universal and love the intelligent brainstorming (and humor, because sometimes all you can do is laugh). PS Didn’t realize Jason Isbell was official mayor of Nashville. Maybe interview him next. - review from Nancy in Sarasota

  • Best place for local politics and policy

    Come for the interesting insights into public policy and politics in Nashville and across Tennessee. Stay for the dad jokes, music reviews and random 90s TV references. And definitely stay for the outtakes. 🤣
