The host of this podcast truly believes that “Football Is Family” and he is on a mission to share the stories of other fans out there sharing how they have been touched by the greatest sport on Earth. Listen below to the trailer and learn more about the host and show.HOST - JEREMY MCFARLINGrowing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn't have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn't win, I followed them from that point on.John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I'm a Titans fan through and through. It's the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That's what I want to talk about each and every podcast.You can follow me @jeremy_mcfarlin. Message me if you want to share your reasons why your football team is family.

Local, award-winning author Kevin Wilson has deep Tennessee roots: he grew up in Franklin County, attended Vanderbilt, and today, teaches at Sewanee: The University of the South. Earlier this year, he released his latest novel, Run for the Hills. Like much of his work, the story considers the, (sometimes unexpected) ways “family” can come to be. He sat down with "This Is Nashville" to read an excerpt of his new release, talk about his upbringing in Tennessee and share his thoughts about why fiction writing is important in today's world (and how, in his mind, it shares some similarities with professional wrestling).This episode was produced by Cynthia Abrams. Relevant reading: Wilson is the author of seven books: Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, The Family Fang, Perfect Little World, Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine, Nothing to See Here, Now Is Not the Time to Panic and Run for the Hills.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Graham Honeycutt, Executive Director of Tucker's House, who highlights the Middle Tennessee-based nonprofit organization and their efforts to provide home modifications for families of children and young adults with disabilities.

Dean's Chat hosts, Drs. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Edward Glaser to the podcast! Sole Supports' CEO and founder, Dr. Edward S. Glaser, DPM, is a podiatrist and foot biomechanist, and the mind behind the MASS Posture Theory of foot biomechanics. He is the founder of the successful orthotics lab, Sole Supports, one of the largest orthotic providers in the country. With a career spanning 40 years, Dr. Glaser has earned an international reputation for reimagining foot orthotics and the way practitioners address biomechanics in the foot, lower extremity, and ultimately, the entire body. Dr. Glaser's MASS Posture Theory offers a unique, engineering-based approach to foot biomechanics, which stands as the foundation for the design of Sole Supports custom orthotics. His groundbreaking research has been published in multiple academic journals, like the Foot and Ankle Online Journal and Biomechanics, and is taught at podiatric and chiropractic colleges across the country. Dr. Glaser is also a professional speaker, having lectured at over 1,500 medical and state society meetings worldwide. Sole Supports are worn by many active professional and collegiate athletes, Olympic winners, and are the preferred foot orthotic on over 50 military bases worldwide. Dr. Glaser earned his doctorate in podiatry from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. After 13 years of leading a successful clinical practice in Middle Tennessee, he made the bold decision to step away and challenge conventional orthopedics with the development of MASS Posture Theory. Thirty years and over a million pairs of orthotics later, Dr. Glaser continues to realize his life's mission through Sole Supports, the custom orthotics lab he founded in 1992. Since 2014, Dr. Glaser has broadened his biomechanics research to create Relax, Release, Relief (RRR). This series of manual release techniques is designed to mechanically interrupt positive neural feedback loops that affect the body's connective tissue and contribute to most instances of chronic pain. Dr. Glaser offers his RRR techniques free of charge, driven by his objective to correct patients' posture and make a life-changing difference for those suffering from pain.
