The third episode of the Nashville Scene Podcast is another two-parter. In our opening segment, co-hosts Jerome Moore and D. Patrick Rodgers speak with former Scene reporter — and current Nashville Banner reporter — Steven Hale about his book Death Row Welcomes You: Visiting Hours in the Shadow of the Execution Chamber. Out March 26, Death Row Welcomes You centers on the community of advocates Hale met during his time covering Tennessee’s spate of executions from 2018 to 2020. Also in this episode we talk to Scene contributor Brittney McKenna about her cover story on Kacey Musgraves’ brand-new fifth record, Deeper Well, out today via Interscope/MCA Nashville.
