Those eyes belong to a Metro Nashville police officer, who is viewing camera footage on a cloud service called Fusus. A business you frequent or a private residence in your neighborhood may have voluntarily agreed to share their camera footage with MNPD via this platform. In the event of an emergency or violent crime, MNPD can tap in and hopefully catch the perpetrator in action. This all sounds great. Who among us doesn't love less crime? The problem is that we don't actually know that the implementation of Fusus will lower crime in our city. MNPD is seeking a renewed contract to pilot this technology. Nashville's Metro Council will vote on Feb. 6 whether or not to approve this contract. Before that, we'll dive into what exactly this contract could mean for Nashville. This episode was produced by Elizabeth Burton. Special thanks to Councilmember Courtney Johnston, Cynthia Abrams, and Nicole Williams. Guests Councilmember Delishia Porterfield, Councilmember-at-large and Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee Reverend Davie Tucker, Executive Director of the Human Relations Commission Staff

On the latest Ask the Mayor, the This Is Nashville team broke the news of the pending sale of the historic Morris Memorial Building to a boutique hotel chain. And let's just say, people were not pleased. The news of the pending sale added fuel to the ongoing debate on whether the city should or should not purchase the building. With resident Metro Council “expert” Nicole Williams, we'll dive into what exactly council members had to say about the effort to #SavetheMorris. Later in the hour, we'll talk about SAG-AFTRA. The pending contract with the AMPTP is up for union member ratification, and the vote closes today. Not everyone is pleased with union leadership or the provisions regarding artificial intelligence. We'll hear from local SAG-AFTRA leadership about the contract, and we'll explore what could happen to the entertainment industry if the contract is not ratified in today's vote.

Scott owns and operates Trident Tattoo Company in PA. Nicole is so humble and super voracious for knowledge.

If you are an everyday, working class Nashvillian, you probably do not have time to go to every single Metro Council meeting. You definitely don't have the bandwidth to pore over the meeting minutes, and then turn around quippy tweets about what happened. Unless, of course, you are Nicole Williams a.k.a @startleseasily on X f.k.a Twitter. Starting with this episode, Nicole joins our host Khalil Ekulona for a somewhat serious, somewhat satirical recap of what on earth happened in the most recent council meeting. Bring some popcorn and get ready to laugh. Then, we sit down with some WPLN reporters to hear about their work on this week's top stories. The Inside the Council Chambers segment was sound designed & mixed by Laura Boach.

With inflation rates peaking at 9.1% last summer (the highest since 1981), nonprofits are feeling the strain. Higher prices drive up the cost to provide programs and services while also increasing demand for those services; on the fundraising side, every dollar raised has less buying power. In today's episode, we'll look at how two nonprofits fighting food insecurity are overcoming these challenges and growing their operations despite economic realities.

This week we talked to Myisha Malone-King! Myisha is the brains and moderator behind the Facebook group Game of Crohn's n Chronic Illness! The goal of this group is to offer support and knowledgeable information about inflammatory bowel disease and to inspire others to not be afraid or hide because of a chronic illness. We talk to her about what discussions happen on the page and how it's helped her to support and educate other people living with IBD. We discuss her diagnosis process and how her Crohn's affected her pregnancies and how that led to her considering an abortion. We talked to her about everything that she considered as she made that decision and how difficult it was knowing that her health and her life could be so incredibly impacted by it. We talked to her about the pain she experiences with her Crohn's and how difficult it was to find a doctor that would believe her and help find the right treatment plan. We talked to her about grief and the grief that goes along with living with a chronic illness. Finally, we talk about journaling and writing poetry as a way to process living with a chronic illness. We discuss Myisha's new book of poetry called "Footprints of the Soul", where you can find your copy, and she reads us one of her beautiful poems. This was such a great conversation and Myisha is a treasure. Just a warning that we discuss abortion in this episode so it may not be appropriate for all audiences.
