On today’s Friday News Roundup, host Grace Fuisz, producer Marie Cecile Anderson, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are coming down off a chaotic week that saw a local business owner in hot water over his comments about the Trump assassination attempt, a Metro Council member storming out of Tuesday’s meeting, a Nashville artist going viral for her apparently drunken rendition of the National Anthem, and, of course, the ongoing presence of neo-Nazis. We’ll get into all of that, and then we’ll offer you (and ourselves) some suggestions on where to seek inner peace. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
