As we come up on election season, it’s more important than ever to be careful with your media consumption, so our host Grace Fuisz is joined by Holly McCall, editor of the nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization Tennessee Lookout, to give you a guide to Nashville’s local media organizations. We’re talking about how and when to fact check, healthy skepticism, and the best places to find unbiased, nonpartisan information.

And stick around for our special segment, A Mile in Their Boots: We’ll be going inside a day in the life of hubNashville director Erin Williams. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for sponsoring this segment, and for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
