We Won Best of Nashville! Plus, Council Delays No Right on Red Again
City Cast Nashville is the best podcast in Nashville for the second year in a row, according to the Nashville Scene’s readers’ poll. Host Rachel Iacovone joins executive producer Whitney Pastorek and creative producer Marie Cecile Anderson to celebrate, and dish on Metro Council’s decision to delay the No Right on Red vote again, Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall’s retirement announcement after 24 years, and the dismissal of DC Blox’s lawsuit challenging Metro’s data center moratorium. Plus, we say “hell yeah” to some of our favorite local Best of Nashville winners.
