Over last year’s holiday season, we produced an episode where we asked Nashvillians and Middle Tennesseans to share their thoughts and feelings about living here in the region. The idea was inspired by the poem “A City on a River” penned by former guest Mac Pirkle. The contributors on that episode shared poems, essays, op-eds, letters, and what felt like a speech.
We decided to try it again: We asked six people from different parts of the region to share with us, and we were not disappointed. You’ll hear from folks of all ages and backgrounds. Sit back and open up your ears as we hear from a middle schooler, college junior, entrepreneur, a retired community member, a long time Nashville resident, and a sitting Metro Council member. They all provide us with a lot of food for thought.
We present… This Is Nashvillians: Part 2.
This episode was produced by Khalil Ekulona.
