Episode Synopsis
Emails and documents from the University of Tennessee provide some context for the departure of WUTK General Manager Benny Smith — including tensions over programming and the structure of the student radio station. Jesse and Scott dig into the backstory on this week's episode, including the on-air promotional spot that sent Smith's new supervisor into a tizzy. Also: Knox County Schools is outing transgender students to their parents, in accord with a new state law; City Council approves a new kind of assistance for affordable housing; County Commission overrides community concerns in approving the Thunder Mountain development in South Knox County; and a presidential preference update from the Compass Power Poll. The guys also look ahead to this week's County Commission meeting.
