This Is Nashville

Tennessee expats

Listen Later

Folks are flocking to Nashville from around the country — and even around the world. Today we explore the other side of the story.

As Middle Tennessee’s economy continues to outpace much of the nation, fueled by a steady influx of new residents, there’s also a consistent stream of departures. For some, it was a single inciting moment; for others, a gradual realization over time. Now living as expats, former Nashvillians join us remotely from California, Illinois, Oregon and Maryland to tell their stories.

Guests:

  • Dr. Michelle Fiscus, officer at a national non-profit related to public health
  • Josh Black, comedian and artist
  • Bean Chapman, Policy Analyst, Tennessee Equality Project, parent of a transgender adult
  • Christina, parent of a transgender child
  • Kristen Chapman, parent of a transgender child
