  • Metro Council šŸ¤ Artful storytelling

    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!

    This longtime WPLN listener is impressed and genuinely happy to hear y’all having fun at work! 🄳

    BRB. I’ll update my review after I catch up on the Big Fella Update

  • A terrifically helpful addition to our community

    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.

    This Is Nashville is my go-to source for information about issues and events in our community. I'm grateful for the intelligent way it is produced and for the wide-diversity of people and topics discussed.

    We all benefit from the work of the WPLN team and especially the work of This Is Nashville.
