Pod Bless Nashville

I really enjoyed your conversation with Marissa Moss. Thanks for another great show.

jamie is a crank that fits his feared “know-it-all political hobbyist” label better than anyone else. he has good takes on housing and metro legal but otherwise …..oh brother. it’s like listening to your deranged uncle who is marginally informed on nashville politics but doesn’t understand that his time of political relevance has passed him by and that he is out of touch with almost everything. even when he has good points the way he messages them is just so off-putting. Braden is just an inoffensive centrist who loves to “both sides” every issue and probably still believes in horseshoe theory. bless his heart. they will sometimes stumble into interesting guests and sometimes they overcome their lackluster chemistry for a moment of truly good banter but this show mostly leaves me lamenting the state of independent political analysis and media in davidson county. if you want to know what’s going on in local politics and can tolerate a fair share of “old man yells at sky” vibes- this is a fine place to start. just don’t expect any sort of useful or compelling analysis.

These folks are a great listen for me, mom of a Nash daughter, on local happenings. City problems seem to be universal and love the intelligent brainstorming (and humor, because sometimes all you can do is laugh). PS Didn’t realize Jason Isbell was official mayor of Nashville. Maybe interview him next. - review from Nancy in Sarasota

Come for the interesting insights into public policy and politics in Nashville and across Tennessee. Stay for the dad jokes, music reviews and random 90s TV references. And definitely stay for the outtakes. 🤣
