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.
