This week, I sat down with our producer, Nick Elliott. We discussed his time in the Marines, how he ended up in Nashville, and his love for music. We also talked about some of our favorite news stories from the week, including teenage bada** Shreya Ramachandran, who founded a non-profit and has done extensive research on recycling water in your home.
