What kind of governor will Marsha Blackburn be? Host Rachel Iacovone is joined by executive producer Whitney Pastorek and creative producer Marie Cecile Anderson to discuss the leading contenders to fill Blackburn’s U.S. Senate seat, and what her election results might signal about how she’ll govern. Then we ask ourselves: Is Nashville broke? Plus, what happens when payment protections end for 21,000 NES customers, Metro Council backs Nashville neighbors fighting over BNA flight paths, Tandy Wilson’s departure from City House, and “Love Is Blind” casting in Tennessee.
