A Look at Nashville History With Old News

When I transfered to Austin Peay State University in 1998 one of my first orders of business was to select a major, since my former pursuit of a radio-TV-film degree wasn’t an option there. With the exception of history, nothing sounded interesting – so history it was. My current work in poker touches on that background a bit, at least in terms of knowing who’s won what tournament, but for the most part I don’t get too much opportunity to talk history these days. It was a pleasant task, then, to interview Nashville journalist E. Thomas Wood about his new site, Old News, which takes a look back at Nashville news from days gone by through the lens of long-gone journalistic sources. You can check out my interview with Wood here.
