Your Guide to February 2025 in Nashville
February doesn’t have to suck! Host Marie Cecile Anderson, producer Daniel Sumstine, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are here to help you celebrate Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, and Nashville’s world-class music scene — three great reasons to bundle up and get out of the house this month.
If you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve covered stories from across the city in recent episodes: We dug into what’s happening with the financial struggles at Tennessee State University, and learned about our city’s new Office of Youth Safety. We spoke with two moms with transgender kids about their decision to stay in Nashville or move out of state, as well as Vanderbilt student journalists covering how the affirmative action ban is impacting their campus. If you’re craving warmth, we asked an expert about the best soups in town, and we ran down the standout offerings from the Nashville Scene’s Hot Chicken Week. And if you enjoyed Dry January, we talked to a local shop that will help you stay booze-free all year long.
City Cast Nashville brings you a new episode every weekday morning with the day's can't-miss conversation about life in Music City. We’re covering the news and culture of our endlessly growing city from every perspective we can find — including yours. It’s like a backyard barbecue and the whole town’s invited, so whether you’ve lived here for a blink or a lifetime, we hope you’ll pull up a lawn chair and sit a while. Learn more at nashville.citycast.fm.
