Jerome Moore, host of Deep Dish Conversations, on social change, Nashville and beyond

How do communities change? Who can make change in their communities? North Nashville native Jerome Moore takes a broad approach to exploring both those questions. In his podcast Deep Dish Conversations, he talks to everyone, from elected officials of all political viewpoints to activists and artists, about what a better, fairer Nashville might look like.

We talk with the North Nashville native about the goals of his show and how it came to be. We’ll also hear about his time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, his experience running NGOs in Costa Rica and China, and why he wants Nashvillians to “think globally, act locally.” He recently collected some of his Deep Dish Conversations in a book from Vanderbilt University Press.

We kick off the show by checking in with WPLN’s Nina Cardona and Rose Gilbert, who fill us in on what’s happening at the polls this election day. Follow WPLN’s coverage election coverage here.
