Not to be dramatic but I am OBSESSED with inside council chambers! Love Nicole and khalils chemistry and I’m always impressed by Nicole’s VAST knowledge of metro council (esp when it includes CM drama + hot goss 😬). OH and the sound effects and music always hit too!

I am a 25 year + resident of Nashville having lived here initially as a student then living elsewhere and returning to Nashville in the mid 2000s.
