Chicago Style Gyros in the Nashville Farmers Market.
Curious Nashville is WPLN’s beloved Hearken-style series that answers questions through adventurous reporting. At its peak, the series is inherently multi-platform and highly community engaged. This entry includes a 33-minute podcast version of the story, a social media video, an email newsletter, and a short bonus episode drawn from a call-in segment on our daily show.
The social media video, in particular, reached hundreds of thousands — many finding WPLN for the first time.
