Early Voting is Open! Plus, BNA Noise Lawsuit and the Future of Yazoo Brewing
Early voting is underway in Nashville! Host Rachel Iacovone is joined by creative producer Marie Cecile Anderson and local on-air personality and Tennessee Trends founder Tala Shatara to dig into Nashvillians’ concerns about heading to the polls. Then they debate whether downtown tourism tax dollars should bail out Broadway bar owners, talk about the lawsuit from Crieve Hall and Oak Hill neighbors over BNA flight noise, and celebrate TailGate Brewery buying Yazoo’s Madison headquarters. Plus, we say “hell nah” to a certain gubernatorial candidate’s recent post using AI, and how to request an Open Street for Halloween!
