I remember hearing the quote from @boringcompany about how Nashville's rock is hard and thinking it didn't sound like what I'd heard. The rock is actually soft, but that doesn't make tunneling easy. Explained here: wpln.org/post/nashvilles-geo…
What I learned in this episode about Percy Priest Lake:
1. A record 76lb fish was likely 80 yrs old.
2. Best campsites are 11/12 at Anderson Rd.
3. The rowing club once sank a $45k boat during practice.
Also shared my story about a stowaway raccoon.

When @brandonheath is playing at your church (@ottercreek), you go. When @amygrant is performing too, you invite everyone.
A decade ago, I did a batch of stories about @valorcollegiate. Charter schools were a touchy topic in Nashville, and Valor flew above the fray with its pitch to make cultural and economic diversity a cornerstone. I had an infant at the time. [thread] marketplace.org/2014/01/27/w…
The academics are incredible. But that's not what impressed me so much initially. It was that they were perhaps more focused on social-emotional learning, and not in a touchy-feely way (though I definitely teared up the first time I watched this). youtube.com/watch?v=YYmz6q7O…
First time to attend a @WPLN event purely as a supporter. Rather looking forward to it. I mean, @khalilekulona and @MelissaJoanHart? Yeah. boxoffice.vanderbilt.edu/Onl…
Making my former @WPLN colleagues proud as a “bold member of society.” Someone told me today that they heard about me eating a live cicada on the radio. Adding to my @LinkedIn bio. wpln.org/post/listen-cicada-…

NPR journalists are at work today, breaking stories, broadcasting moments of joy, pain, insight and conflict, with as much fact, context and curiosity as we can. If you're curious about the claims you've been hearing about us, tune in and listen. We're here for you. NPR 🙏💪🎧
The only minority without a home at @nprnews is a conservative. Good for @uberliner for speaking truth about an institution I also love. I can only imagine the flack he’s catching. thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-n…
The @voices4saferTN event at @ottercreek is still on tonight. We've been watching @NashSevereWx closely and will continue. Come join us if you're interested in firearm safety in TN — no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.

Have you struggled with #priorauthorization for medically necessary care? Looking to speak with patients
A reporter should have asked this! Great work, Rep Hemmer
If you need Nashville news told to you each morning like it’s coming from a friend, nobody is doing it better than @mackstarks with @wpln’s NashVillager. His story to help folks understand what’s happening at the #tnleg this week is particularly profound. us12.forward-to-friend.com/f…
Sounds crazy, but now you can actually just buy your @WPLN / @WNXPnashville gear. At least until Sunday. 8c1489.myshopify.com/?mc_cid…
