As pro-Palestinian protests continued this week on the University of Tennessee campus, a well-known and respected community leader was among those arrested: Yassin Terou, owner of the popular Yassin's Falafel House restaurants. On this week's episode, Jesse and Scott talk about the protests and the ongoing tension between freedom of speech and institutional order. Also: the City of Knoxville receives a Downtown parking study with a host of recommendations, including possible rate hikes; why Knox County's annual debt burden is about to jump; an unusual challenge to a County Commission candidate's nominating petition; and the 50th anniversary of preservationist group Knox Heritage. In the interview segment, the guys introduce Compass' new summer intern, Owen McCarthy, and talk about why anyone would want to go into journalism in 2024. Looking ahead, they preview next week's meeting of Knox County Commission, which will vote on County Mayor Glenn Jacobs' proposed budget.
