Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Coach Juan Adams, Program Director of Nashville Youth Basketball Association (NYBA) and president of Forever Don Foundation, who highlights Middle Tennessee's largest year-round basketball program designed to build a better foundation for life and enhance the future for area youth. Coach Juan shares how he got involved with NYBA 15 years ago after bringing his son to a basketball drill, and how the organization has grown to now serve 1,500-2,000 kids annually through various programs including summer camps, clinics, an academy, tournaments, travel teams, and skills development, along with mentoring, educational support, leadership development, and community engagement initiatives. Coach Juan discusses the tragic loss of his son to gun violence in 2018, which led him to establish the Forever Don Foundation to focus on life skills and education beyond basketball. The foundation focuses on providing programming for at-risk youth and those with behavioral or home issues, but also emphasizes education for kids without such problems to help them interact with those from challenging environments. The foundation was created in response to learning that former basketball program participants had set up his son for the robbery, highlighting the need for continued support beyond basketball programming. Coach Juan discusses how his faith and a promise serve as the motivation to continue pouring into young people despite experiencing the loss of his son and personal challenges, including being a victim of gun violence himself. He explains that his commitment to supporting young people stems from a promise he made to God and his son after recovering from a shooting in 2003, and he continues this mission by uplifting and empowering young men to believe in their potential. Coach Juan defines success beyond basketball as seeing former players achieving life milestones like college acceptance and marriages when encountering them in public. He explains that their NYBA program focuses on developing character and skills that extend beyond sports, including teaching former players to referee games and manage tournament operations as part of their "give-back program." The coach emphasizes keeping former players engaged with the NYBA even after they stop playing basketball, offering them opportunities to work at the Academy and earn community service hours. The organization currently operates out of McGavock High School and their own NYBA Academy facility in North Nashville, with recent success including their 7th and 8th grade teams qualifying for the prestigious Peach Jam tournament on the Nike circuit. Coach Juan explains that their biggest need is staffing and compensation for volunteers, as they have maxed out their current volunteer network and want to transition to paid staff positions to sustain the programming long-term. The organization has been operating as a 501c3 for 15 years without receiving any government grants and currently relies on a volunteer model where parents with participating children provide services in exchange for their children's program access. Coach explains that this volunteer approach creates a challenge as children age out of the program, leading to a need for paid staffing to sustain operations.

Hey lady! In these trying times connecting with community is more important than ever. Community is not just your close friends or even your family. Community is the place where you live, work, and play. It contains history, wisdom and can thrive when tended to well. That's why Dr. Dom and Terri are thrilled to welcome M. Simone Boyd and Andrea Tudhope, hosts of the podcast We Are North Nashville, as they discuss the power of collecting the stories of the elders in the community to create a beautiful tapestry of legacy, love, and pride.Inspired by a series of tragic events that occurred during the pandemic, Simone set out to capture the stories of the elders in her life before it was too late. But, as she soon found out the work was worthy but the emotional labor would take a toll if she didn't recruit help for her noble mission. Together, with her co-hosts, Andrea and Steve Haruch, the three embarked on a journey of bridge building, record setting, and community preservation that has led to a fulfilling audio project the residents of North Nashville can feel proud of. If you're in a space where you know you need to build community and you want to contribute to the community you live in but don't know where to get started tune in to today's episode. Andrea and Simone offer their perspective on how approaching people and conversations from a heart-centered place can get all of us back to a place where we peacefully coexist and thrive together.

The first marker, "Heaton's Station," was placed in 1968 at a bend in the Cumberland River in North Nashville and commemorates one of the city's first structures, a fortified house built for protection in 1780. Now there are almost 300 markers across the city, with at least one in every council district. Today, we'll talk about the importance of the marker program and how to get one made and planted. We'll also find out all about the marker for Warehouse 28, a gay disco that also made possible the founding of Nashville CARES, and the double-sided marker that commemorates Riverside Sanitarium and honors Dr. Dorothy Brown, the first female African American surgeon in the South.Guests: Jessica Reeves | Preservationist, Metro Historical Commission; Administrator, Historical Marker Program John Bridges | Author; Board member, Metro Historical Commission Bennie Thompson | Founder and Chairman, Riverside Historical Society Michael Hubbard | Member, Riverside Historical Society; Executive Director, Charles and Etta Dudley Foundation Further Reading and Listening: WPLN News | On A Downtown Corner, A New Marker Acknowledges Nashville's Slave-Trading Past NPR Investigations | Off The Mark: The fractured landscape of U.S. historical markers Read about all the people, places and things Nashville's historical markers commemorate at the program website.
“I knew that if I had a Plan B, I would be 50/50. I would be one foot in and one foot out, and I had to be fully dedicated.” - Derrick ‘Moe' Moore When the Climbing the Charts podcast first launched in 2022, the co-hosts created a list of dream guests – Moe Moore was at the top of that list, being a co-founder of Slim & Husky's. Almost two years and many amazing guests later, this is that episode, and it was fitting that the Tennessean was even on hand to take some photos! Moe is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Slim & Husky's, a pizza concept that is more than pizza – it's pizza, art, and music. Moe shares how music and art are built into the DNA of Slim & Husky's, and shares his hard-earned life lessons about what it takes to make it as a successful entrepreneur (including the often unappreciated advantages of having no Plan B). He discusses the future plans and dreams for Slim & Husky's, and even gives an overview of the rich culture and community of North Nashville.

Many of us are travel looking for food experiences and we often want to eat something that is authentically of that place. So we seek out the local delicacy which hopefully reflects the local landscape, history and people. However many of the foods we think of as quintessential ‘destination' foods are elevated in the 20th century with the rise of easier travel and more and more tourism. On the other hand, it's easier than ever to access to ‘global' food in the towns and cities we live in. Sheila Dillon explores what travelling to eat looking for authentic experiences means in an increasingly globalised world.We start the programme hearing the story of Nashville Hot Chicken from journalist Zach Stafford. In recent history, Hot Chicken went from an obscure speciality of a specific community in North Nashville, Tennessee to one if it's most iconic symbols. Zach tells the story of how Hot Chicken became part of the ‘Disnification' of Nashville as it has become a popular tourist destination. But like so much of American culture the story is racialised with new white owned businesses making money from a food created by a black community.Sheila then travels to Brussels to become a food tourist herself. Guided by Elisabeth Debourse, Editor-in-Chief at Le Fooding she explores whether the search for the elusive ‘authentic' local food is helpful in trying to get a good meal. She visits Rue des Bouchers and restaurant Les Brigittines.Someone who's thought a lot about food and place is food writer Anya von Bremzen. It's something she explores in her latest book is National Dish. She talks about how many iconic foods linked to place are much more modern than we might think.The Food Programme is based in Bristol and although the city has a distinct culture, it doesn't have an iconic ‘destination food.' Sheila talks to is an actor, born and bred Bristolian and the new presenter of ‘A Proper Bristol Breakfast,' the Radio Bristol morning show about Bristol's eclectic food identity.Produced by Sam Grist for BBC Audio in Bristol

NEW MONTH. NEW THEME. We're pumped for September's theme as we dive into some films that truly embody the nature of “the asshole”. ASSHOLES ON FILM is what we're slipping into and we're starting off with a movie chock full of assholes. Brimming with asshole cunts.

One is enjoying the town and the other hates it. It's violent as hell and quite funny. Check it out first of you're curious. We're starting off ASSHOLES ON FILM with a gauntlet. A gauntlet of…assholes. I don't know. They pay me to type out these episode descriptions for them. The only thing is, I'm not allowed to type them at home. I have to go to this warehouse in North Nashville. There's a desk with an old laptop on it and only one working overhead lamp. Sometimes you hear what sounds like someone just outside hitting the ground with a chain. I'm not great at it but it's easy money. It pays my tv and streaming bill.

How do communities change? Who can make change in their communities? North Nashville native Jerome Moore takes a broad approach to exploring both those questions. In his podcast Deep Dish Conversations, he talks to everyone, from elected officials of all political viewpoints to activists and artists, about what a better, fairer Nashville might look like. We talk with the North Nashville native about the goals of his show and how it came to be. We'll also hear about his time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, his experience running NGOs in Costa Rica and China, and why he wants Nashvillians to “think globally, act locally.” He recently collected some of his Deep Dish Conversations in a book from Vanderbilt University Press. We kick off the show by checking in with WPLN's Nina Cardona and Rose Gilbert, who fill us in on what's happening at the polls this election day. Follow WPLN's coverage election coverage here. Guest: Jerome Moore, host of Deep Dish Conversations This episode was produced by Char Daston.
Climbing the Charts sat down with Fran Bush, a former Metro Nashville School Board Member and owner and director of Model Kids Learning Academy which, provides childcare services to some of Nashville's neediest families in growing communities. While some might say that running for Mayor is Fran's biggest challenge yet, it's hard to agree with that after she shares her life story, which is both fascinating and genuinely inspiring. While Fran shares her vision for Nashville and previews what a Mayor Bush administration might look like, including her top priorities as mayor, she also tells us about her youth growing up in North Nashville, what it was like entering the foster care system at age 12, and also what it was like to attend Metro Public Schools – and McGavock High School, in particular – during desegregation and the inception of “busing.” For anyone interested in education, foster parenting, foster care, or the outsized influence that teachers can and do have in the lives of their students, this is a must listen.
This episode first aired on July 19. Among cultures around the world, it's traditional to grow your own food. But with the rise of supermarkets and grocery stores, gardening in the United States has become more and more uncommon. But, what do you do when the food you like to eat isn't sold in grocery stores? Or when there are no supermarkets near you, and you can't afford to buy fresh produce? This isn't uncommon in Nashville. North Nashville, East Nashville, South Nashville and Edgehill all have neighborhoods with food deserts. Community members are taking matters into their own hands. If you look around, you'll find local farms, community gardens and organizations working to make gardening (and good food) more accessible to Nashville residents. Growing your own food isn't easy, and in this episode, we'll hear about why support is so important for local farmers and gardeners. We'll also hear about how gardening can be fulfilling in ways that extend beyond just feeding us. We're joined by a local poultry farmer, members of groups attempting to eradicate food deserts and promote gardening and the professor who founded Vanderbilt University's Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden. Guests: Cynthia Capers, poultry farmer and owner of the Heniscity Farm in Pegram, TN Lauren Bailey, co-founder of Growing Together and Director of Garden Outreach and Engagement for the Nashville Food Project Donald Frost, site manager for Trap Garden Professor Avery Dickins de Girón, anthropologist and founder of Vanderbilt University's Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden
Tucked in North Nashville on the campus of Tennessee State University sits one of the largest and most intact urban wetlands in Middle Tennessee. Referred to as the TSU wetland, this area drains a significant portion of North Nashville and filters harmful pollutants and sediments before the water enters the nearby Cumberland River. The wetland is a thriving ecosystem, providing a habitat for numerous aquatic frogs, turtles, and snakes, hunting grounds for bald eagles and blue herons, and a stopover for migrating neotropical birds. Nearby Tennessee State University students conduct research at the wetland and professors take their students outside for life-changing experiential education. Despite the many benefits of the TSU wetland for our community and environment, pressure to develop this remaining green space looms. Today on River Talks, we are joined by Tennessee State University faculty Dr. Tom Byl and Dr. Bill Sutton to share about the wetland and why it is crucial to ensure it remains intact. Dr. Bill Sutton is an Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Tennessee State University in the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Dr. Sutton also runs the Wildlife Ecology Lab at TSU. Dr. Tom Byl is a Research Scientist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and has been stationed at Tennessee State University for 27 years. Through a special partnership between TSU and the USGS, Dr. Byl serves as a professor conducting research and teaching students at the University. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecompact/message
On April 19, 1960, a bomb exploded in the North Nashville home of attorney and former city councilmember Z. Alexander Looby. The blast was so powerful it shattered windows at the nearby Meharry Medical College, but Looby and his wife escaped unscathed. The bomber behind the assassination attempt was never identified. In this episode, we'll reflect on Looby's legacy and unravel the pivotal role he played in the Civil Rights Movement in Middle Tennessee, including as a lawyer after the 1946 Columbia race riot. But first, Metro Council voted in favor of a stadium for the Tennessee Titans for the second time on Tuesday night. We check in with WPLN producer Cynthia Abrams about the vote and what's next. Guests: Ludye N. Wallace, former Metro Councilmember Betsy Phillips, historian writing a book on the Looby bombing and Nashville Scene contributor Elliott Robinson, program specialist in the Special Collections Division of the Nashville Public Library, which oversees the Civil Rights Room Related reading: Nashville Scene: Who Bombed Z.

With the drama and attention around the gigantic purple martin roost at the symphony over the last two years, more of our eyes are on the sky and on our migrating feathered friends. What is migration? Why is Nashville not only a stopping point for bachelor parties – but hundreds of thousands of feathered birds each year? And how can we be better hosts? In this episode, we hear from three guests who have their own experiences with migrating species. Then, we pivot to talk a bit about resident game birds and raptors — birds we live with year-round. But first, we get curious about a North Nashville bonsai tree. Guests: Damon Mitchell, former WPLN enterprise reporter Liz Cannon, North Nashville resident Laura Cook, bird research coordinator at Friends of Warner Parks Azia Tanks, Warner Parks intern Keith Paluso III, former park ranger and TikTok bird expert Roger Shields, wildlife biologist and Tennessee Wildlife turkey program coordinator Carolyn Pendarvis, operations manager at Walden's Puddle
Today's guest, Richard Patterson, is a husband and father of two children and also the owner and administrator of Preferred Care at Home of North Nashville, Sumner, and East Wilson Counties in Middle Tennessee. Richard's first opportunity to work with seniors was at the age of 14 when he worked through high school at an assisted living facility. Richard's love for that job began as serving and connecting with residents, giving him purpose and value during those sometimes uncertain teenage years. Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Richard take the time on this episode to express their heart-felt sentiments, their struggle and their likeness of compassion as they both give great service to the aging population and their caregivers. Richard's company, Preferred Care at Home, has many awards in the in-home care field. He and his team make it their utmost mission to provide excellence in care for families, and especially to those who require hands-on care daily. It is truly beyond the business of caregiving. https://preferhome.com/locations/davidson-and-sumner-counties/meet-the-team 615-319-3055 www.verandaministries.org
Sixty years ago, North Nashville was a thriving cultural oasis. There were taverns and gambling joints, restaurants and ice cream parlors, boarding houses and nightclubs that drew the likes of Etta James and Jimi Hendrix. Construction of Interstate 40 through North Nashville in the 1970s split the historically Black neighborhood in two, severed community ties and brought noise and pollution. Much of the Black middle class that had sustained North Nashville moved away, leading to years of neglect and disrepair. Today, a new generation is working to honor the artistic heritage of the area while also bringing it into the future. We'll begin today's show with an update from WPLN criminal justice reporter Paige Pfleger on the Covenant shooting. Guests: Elisheba Israel Mrozik, owner of One Drop Ink Tattoo Parlour and Gallery Jordan Harris, owner of Alkebu-Lan Images Lucius “Spoonman” Talley, musician Additional reading: This Is Nashville: Etta James once rocked the New Era Club, one of North Nashville's most famous stages. Today only a few pieces remain.
The Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center has been serving North Nashville's uninsured and underinsured citizens since it opened in 1968. It's an indispensable health resource for the community, from family medicine and dentistry, to behavioral health and educational programs. The center is named for Dr. Matthew Walker, an influential Black surgeon. Originally from Louisiana, he came to Nashville for medical school. Although he was an expert surgeon, he saw that basic preventative health measures like brushing teeth and eating healthy food could make a tangible impact on people's health. He was passionate about community health and educating the next generation of doctors. This this episode, we talk to Dr. Walker's family about who he was and hear about how the health center carries on his legacy. But first, Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill that will cut the size of the Metro Council in half. We hear the latest on Metro's response from Nashville Scene reporter Eli Motycka. Guests: Katina Beard, CEO of the Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center Evelyn Wilson, PCMH quality improvement manager at MWCHC Dr. Robyn Mays, assistant dental director at MWCHC Dr. Candace Koney, physician and Dr. Walker's granddaughter Mary Ellen Hollands, family friend of Dr. Walker Bill Forrester, family friend of Dr. Walker Related: WPLN: Who Was Dr. Matthew Walker?

Good Morning Nashville! “If Loving BMVT Is Wrong … We Don't Want To Be Right.”
The death of Tyre Nichols, who was beaten by Memphis police officers, has once again sparked discussion about police violence and public safety. Just days after Memphis officials released video of police pulling over and assaulting Nichols, Metro Nashville police officers shot and killed a 48-year-old Black man on Buchanan Street in North Nashville. Activists are seeking change. Lawmakers are introducing legislation that aims to address police violence at a state level. But what can be done? Is oversight enough? And what does the future look like — for police and for the community? But first, WPLN political reporter Blaise Gainey breaks down Gov. Bill Lee's State of the State address. Guests: Timothy Hughes, activist and community organizer Makayla McCree, member for the Community Oversight Board Erica Perry, organizer with Black Nashville Assembly Rep, Joe Towns, Jr., state representative, D-Memphis Additional reading: Tyre Nichols case puts spotlight on Tennessee's policing priorities The city of Memphis releases videos of Tyre Nichols' arrest and beating Ex-officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols were not part of the national police union that typically defends these cases

Slim & Husky's was ranked #5 out of 101 in The Daily Meal's 101 Best Pizzas in America. They have been featured on CBS World News, Good Morning America, and Travel Channel. They have also been featured in USA Today, Essence Magazine, Southern Living, Food & Wine, Forbes Magazine, the Washington Post, Taste of the South, and the New York Times.The three Tennessee State University grads and football players (Clint Gray – CMO, Derrick Moore- Chief Development Officer & EJ Reed – CEO) started Slim + Husky's as a way to serve unique pies and provide jobs to their neighborhood in North Nashville. Now, they have expanded locations across the country and offer build-your-own pizzas, take-out options, catering services, and national delivery. This includes opening the first Black-owned restaurant to open on Broadway in Nashville. “Pizza. Art. Music” is the motto at Slim & Husky's, which was created to create change and opportunities within underserved communities. Crowds flock to its four Tennessee locations (as well as two in Atlanta and one in Sacramento with additional locations opening throughout 2023) to indulge in artisan pizza while vibing to Hip Hop and R&B classics. In the beginning,Slim & Husky's was founded on a shared dream inside a garage in 2015. The clever name came from a joke the longtime friends have been laughing about for years. One of them has always been a slim guy, but the other two were always big fellas, forcing their mothers to shop for clothing in the children's husky section. The 3 owners consider their biggest accomplishments as opening the first Slim & Husky's restaurant in their North Nashville neighborhood, the ability to provide a substantial number of jobs, and the ability to live out their dream while providing a real impact on their communities. When the owners aren't perfecting their product, they are hosting community events and participating in speaking engagements at local schools, nonprofits, small businesses, and organizations. From hosting events to support local artists to honoring area teachers, they strive to recognize and promote positivity wherever they go. slimandhuskys.com
