The BNA Podcast

We revisit the Nash Trash problem again (or we recycle it, if you will).  We have our first guest Tim Jester, active community member in Old Hickory to talk about misdemeanor recidivism and mental health.  We talk about stadiums and Amtrak and bowling...Come join us 

We're back for 2022 with Banned books, burned books, gerrymandering, License plate readers and other racist stuff. Then we turn our attention to good food and a fabulous piano bar. Isn't that Nashville in a nutshell?

Brian and Jay start the episode talking about Madrid and end with listing the restaurants we'll miss. In between we have a bracing discussion of redistricting, homelessness and codes along with Party vehicles and missing EV chargers. So much data so little time!! Enjoy and tell a friend. 

We spend a few moments discussing the cluster that is Nashville's homeless response. Also, a fresh look at the redistricting process, the sale of PSC metals downtown and then we talk about downtown and then downtown until we talk about a true dumpster fire which is the Governor's personal pastor getting booted out of the church he founded...Kumbaya 

We discuss anti vax conventions, the ever exciting redistricting process in the worlds largest city council and the Nashville Scene's best of Nashville ...oh yeah and there's a new Sean Brock restaurant in East. Let's all save up and go there!! 

We discuss eating at Newks, as Jay did with the Mayor of Nashville. We dive deep into rolling hot tubs, party wagons and finally homelessness and Oracle. 

We catch up on our losing battle with Covid, discuss 100 kinds of party vehicles and Belmont's new concert hall!

We engage in some HR work for the city's finance department, discuss Covid, Floods, Murder, Bonnaroo and fun times at 5th and Broadway! 

There's a red tide going on in Florida...no the actual algae red tide. But right here in TN we've got a red tide of our own. Also, lots of Covid, a terrible flood, noticed by the New York Times and a tragic loss. Now, go buy my wife's book.

This week on the BNA we talk about the Nashville Grand Prix, the removal of a KKK leaders bust from the capital, Covid and Italian food. What's not to like. Also, send us a question...we want some feedback. 

We talk about the Governor's seemingly desperate need to convince people to travel to TN while airlines are cancelling flights due to overbooking and under staffing.  But at least we are throwing poor people out on the street...nice to know we have that going for us. Also, Jay goes out to see some live entertainment and I have a toothache. PS, we have figured out the audio problem, so next we...

Happy 4th of July to all our listeners and the Chief who turns 50 on Sunday. We had a nice little chat about the police shooting people, naked statures and blowing shit up!! Enjoy 

We talked about how great Nashville drivers are and especially the truck driver that ran into a house. There's not going to be a referendum on property taxes cuz the bill was so poorly written and why aren't there any cool waterfront places in a city with a river every direction you look and two lakes in the city limits. Oh well, tune in and see what's up!!

Our inaugural Juneteenth episode. We talk about Southern Baptists being too southern and not enough Babtist, the REAL Hot Chicken and the first time Juneteenth is celebrated as a national holiday. Honorable mention goes to the Morton Exhibit at the Nashville Zoo, Miriam's Promise and The National Museum of African American Music...oh yeah, and Father's Day...

Nashville has a drinking problem, a driving problem and a road rage problem. Our solution is to sell them all guns and see who lives to tell the tale. 

Nashville has some debt, no masks, maybe NASCAR and definitely has a Republican Election Commission. Listen To "Drinking Town (with a Music Problem)" at the end of the episode!! And it's Brian's 60th Birthday....so there's that!

This week we're talking about Nashville's budget, wacky directions and headlines. As always we end with a rousing chorus of our current favorite Nashville anthem "A Drinking Town with a Music Problem"!!  

Oracle is coming to town, our property tax rate is going down but our payment is going up and our state is full of weirdos hiding in bunkers with two cans of Hormel chili and an AK-47...cuz evidently somebody is out to get em.... 

Check out our latest BNA podcast where we take on the Governor the council and the myth of Nashville.  As soon as I get a link I'll add it for the song at the end Drinking Problem by Hurricane Mills. 

Our last podcast of 2020, of the Trump administration and the holidays. 

Nashville has America's worst drivers...and they don't know it
