Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cities in America. Most people who live here experience the consequences of that growth every day without understanding where it came from. Loophole City investigates the decisions, documents, and people behind the city most Nashvillians live in without knowing how it got that way. Each season digs into a different chapter of Nashville's development history — told through primary sources, secondary research, and the specific human choices that shaped the city you're living in right now.more Email ****@loopholecitypod.com
