Given that it’s the Scene cover story, it’s safe to assume you’ve heard of the new podcast project We Are North Nashville. If you have not listened to the trailer yet, do so now!
The story of “Nine Elders That Helped Hold a Community Together” is an interesting one no matter where it happened but this is in your own backyard, quite literally. North Nashville has seen explosive growth over the last 15-20 years but experienced much greater change over the last 30+. We Are North Nashville looks to both document that history, help frame it for more modern audiences and shine a light on the practices that disregarded the neighborhood.
The folks behind the podcast – M. Simone Boyd, Andrea Tudhope, Steve Haruch and Unmanageable – should be familiar names to any Nashville resident and give you plenty of confidence that this show will treat the subject matter with both reverence and the journalistic insight it deserves.
What I’m trying to say here is – subscribe on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your shows.
Side note: if you’re looking for some North Nashville history music to augment this experience, We Own This Town recommends the Concurrence album Indivisible, a concept album about the highways that cut through North Nashville.
