A Conversation with Courtney Teasley On this episode of Everyday Injustice, attorney and activist Courtney Teasley shares her journey from growing up in East Nashville during the crack epidemic to becoming what she calls a “legal disruptor.” Teasley defines this role as going beyond the bare minimum in the legal system—intervening proactively to prevent unjust outcomes before they are sealed by guilty pleas or convictions. Her story begins with personal experience. Raised by her grandmother while her mother struggled with addiction and incarceration, Teasley witnessed firsthand how the system punished users as if they were dealers. Watching her mother receive inadequate legal defense sparked her determination to become an attorney who fights differently—challenging the systemic complacency that fuels mass incarceration. Today, Teasley has expanded her work beyond the courtroom. She coaches lawyers on building independent practices, lectures on legal literacy, and organizes court watch programs. Her book series, The Easy Way to Learn Your Rights, seeks to empower families, churches, and schools to teach communities how to protect themselves against systemic abuse. “Every lawyer is not an advocate, and every advocate is not a lawyer,” she emphasizes, urging people to step into the fight for justice regardless of professional title. Throughout the conversation, Teasley underscores the urgent need for systemic change. From highlighting the low threshold for probable cause that drives mass incarceration to calling for more transparency in prosecutorial practices, her work reflects a vision of empowerment and accountability. At its core, her message is clear: building justice requires disrupting the status quo and equipping disproportionately affected communities with the knowledge and tools to defend themselves.

Now based in East Nashville, not too far from our little operation here in Tennessee, the subliminal songstress and mistress of melodic mastery, Marissa Nadler, has been gracing the alchemical airwaves for nearly two decades with her majestic meditations on life, death, love, memory, and several other elements of the human experience. Having signed with the Brooklyn-based label Sacred Bones Records in 2013 for the release of her monumental classic "July." She has since carved a captivating path of poetic perfection and otherwordly observations into the heart and soul of some of the most trepidatious topics that her peers Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan articulated so well throughout their careers.  We sit down to speak with Nadler about her new album "New Radiations" and just how private and personal this material is compared to her previous releases throughout her incredibly disciplined discography over the years, while simultaneously balancing being your own boss in the radically opinionated world that is the internet. "New Radiations" is a brilliant collection of songs that uplift the soul from the overwhelming depths of darkness by shining a lavish into the cryptic corners of the room, only to reveal the spiritual significance of beauty in its simplest form.

Please note the prisoners were on speaker phone, on a prison tablet, so that's why it is so loud/why the quality is the way it is. This was a live interview I conducted on tik tok, which i occasionally do on Tuesday's. @unforbiddentruthpodcast is my username.Donald Ray MiddlebrooksIn 1987, Donald Ray Middlebrooks, along with his then-teenage wife Tammy Middlebrooks and accomplice Robert Brewington, kidnapped and brutally tortured 14-year-old Kerrick Majors in East Nashville. The attack followed Majors accidentally breaking a vase at a makeshift flea market, and descended into a racially charged and horrific hate crime involving torture, mutilation, and ultimately stabbing — with racial slurs and extreme violence central to the ordeal. Middlebrooks was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping, receiving a death sentence in 1989, later affirmed through retrial and appealAfter years of appeals, his execution was scheduled for December 2022 but was stayed amid concerns over the state's lethal injection protocol; as of early 2025, a new execution date has been set, though it remains on hold pending federal litigation.Steven J. WigginsSteven Wiggins, of Dickson, Tennessee, was convicted in August 2021 for the brutal killing of Sergeant Daniel Baker—shooting him multiple times during a traffic investigation, then dragging his body into the patrol car, impersonating him, and setting the vehicle ablaze with the body inside.The scope of his convictions included premeditated first-degree murder, felony murder, theft, impersonation, arson, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse. In April 2022, he accepted a federal plea agreement on carjacking and firearms charges which resulted in a life sentence — prompting withdrawal of the federal death penalty notice, though the state-level death sentence remains active.He is currently on death row, and his legal team filed a motion for a new trial citing multiple errors in the original state proceedings.Jonathan Wesley StephensonJonathan Wesley Stephenson was convicted in 1990 in Cocke County for the premeditated, contract killing of his wife — alongside a related conspiracy conviction for hiring an accomplice. Initially sentenced to death plus 25 years, his case went through a complex appellate process. Due to sentencing irregularities, a new sentencing hearing followed, resulting in a life-without-parole term plus 60 years for conspiracy. However, that sentence was later vacated and resentenced to death again, which was affirmed by Tennessee's Supreme Court in 2006.He continued seeking relief — most recently filing a habeas corpus petition, which was dismissed in 2024 by the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, affirming the legality of his death-plus-60‑year sentence.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Nicole Minyard, Founder and Executive Director of Daybreak Arts, who shares her personal journey and what led her to establish a nonprofit in Nashville, Tennessee, that uses art as a therapeutic and economic development tool to support individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization has grown from a small art program to a comprehensive operation supporting 30 artists through studio space, gallery opportunities, and various income streams including teaching and merchandise sales. Daybreak Arts has served over 120 artists and paid out over $100k to artists impacted by homelessness in Nashville since 2014. Through programs like their "Artist Collective" and "Shared Walls" and their community engagement initiatives, Daybreak Arts not only provides economic support but also challenges stereotypes and builds meaningful connections between artists and the broader community.Art for the HomelessJourney Nicole Minyard, Founder and Executive Director of Daybreak Arts, shares her journey from a high school student in Kentucky to launching a nonprofit focused on using art to support those experiencing homelessness. She describes her initial exposure to homelessness through a church member in Louisville, which challenged her stereotypes and led her to pursue a similar path in Nashville while as a student at Belmont University. Nicole's experience with Room in the Inn, a local organization supporting those experiencing homelessness, further inspired her to establish Daybreak Arts, leveraging art as a therapeutic and economic development tool to connect with and support homeless individuals.Daybreak Arts: Empowering Homeless ArtistsNicole describes the evolution of Daybreak Arts from a small art program to a comprehensive organization supporting 30 artists impacted by homelessness and housing insecurity. The organization provides a studio and gallery space in East Nashville where artists can create, display, and sell their work through various income streams including teaching and merchandise. Nicole further explains their "Artist Collective" program and then details their "Shared Walls" program, which allows businesses or families to sponsor art pieces created by artists, with proceeds supporting both the sponsor and artists transitioning into housing.Artist Community and Support ImpactNicole shares that while income was initially thought to be the primary need for artists, feedback consistently shows that community relationships and support are more impactful. She explains that artists appreciate having a community where they can share their talents and feel understood, noting that many have expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the community and earn income, which they often use to purchase necessities or share with others. She highlights how this program changes perceptions of homelessness by showcasing the artists' talents and normalizing their experiences, emphasizing that these are individuals with immense abilities who have faced challenging circumstances.Empowering Art Through Community SupportNicole discusses Daybreak Arts' mission to challenge stereotypes and connect with the community through art created by individuals experiencing homelessness. She highlights the diversity of their Artist Collective and emphasizes that medical issues often precede homelessness, rather than drug addiction. Nicole explains various ways the community can support Daybreak Arts, including purchasing art, making donations, or volunteering. She also shares her personal growth as a leader, attributing it to early start, building a strong team, and seeking advice from experienced professionals.Visit https://daybreakarts.org to learn more and to get involved with Daybreak Arts.

Greylan James rolled into Nashville broke, living in a rundown East Nashville house surviving on tomato soup and a dream. Before the hits, he was writing nonstop, and once house-sat for a hit songwriter — then threw a 200-person party without asking. The songwriter’s response? “Hope you have a great time — just let everyone know it’s my house.” Legend. Greylan went on to co-write “Happy Does,” Kenny Chesney’s #1 hit, then penned the Song of the Year, “Next Thing You Know,” for Jordan Davis. Now he’s stepping into the spotlight with “Water at a Wedding,” a nail bitter that has fans on the edge of their seat asking: Is he the baby daddy? No answers yet — but we’re all desperately waiting to know the truth. From broke to blazing, Greylan’s just getting started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
