Aussie Strippers, Mayonnaise Cologne, and Binge-Drinking Tourists

Nashville Banner reporter and “Death Row Welcomes You: Visiting Hours in the Shadow of the Execution Chamber” author Steven Hale joins host Grace Fuisz and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to discuss the Banner’s ongoing series about the tourism-fueled “drunken rodeo” on Lower Broadway and elsewhere. They also weigh in on the male stripper revue moving into a Civil Rights landmark, the disconcerting use of the word “tapas” to describe Asian food, and the mayonnaise-scented cologne just launched by Titans QB Will Levis. And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas.
