When journalist Cornelia Rowe unexpectedly returned to her hometown of Nashville, she began looking into the strange death of a former schoolmate named Leigh Terry. Those close to Leigh immediately raised questions about the circumstances surrounding her death, as she had become involved with a group of powerful local men known for their money, influence and rich history of scandals and corruption. Upon investigating, Cornelia quickly discovered a darker, more complicated side of Music City. With a vibrant setting and cast of eccentric characters, Once Upon a Time in Nashville is a story of a suicide and its shocking ramifications, as well as a story about the city of Nashville–how a rough-and-tumble small town on the Cumberland River has become a big, shiny city that is still heavily influenced by an old guard and Southern secrets.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
Fascinating story, in depth reporting and a deep dive into Nashville itself which plays almost plays a character. Does not disappoint!
Very well done
Got a sneak preview of this series and it’s incredibly thorough, well done and well researched. Hope to hear more from them in the future!!
Not just a true crime podcast
I’m so into the sound design. I could just listen to the intro and transition music. I’m not generally a true crime lady, but this doesn’t feel like a cheesy true crime show. It’s well thought out, great to listen to, and a really fascinating story.
