When Doug Lehmann started the We Own This Town podcast in 2005, Serial was still nine years away. Podcasting was in its infancy, and WOTT, a music show dedicated to Nashville’s local scene, was a ramshackle experiment in internet radio. Now, under the guidance of Michael Eades, WOTT has transformed into a full-scale podcasting network and studio with more than a dozen shows. Podcasts like Liquid Gold and Nashville Demystified give voice to many facets of Nashville’s unique culture and demonstrate what makes this city interesting — above and beyond its music.
