Your Turn to Talk: Ask the Mayor, plus presidential debates

This Is Nashville

Today, Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell is in the studio to take your calls and answer your questions. Plus, it’s political debate season, and Tennessee State University professor Josh Shapiro is with us to discuss their efficacy and importance, and answer all your presidential debate-related questions. Are decisions at the ballot box impacted by debate performance? Are post-debate spin rooms effective? Why do some candidates refuse to debate? Is there one form of debate that works better than others? Join us!

Guests:

• Freddie O'Connell | Mayor, Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County
• Dr. Ian Shapiro | Professor, Tennessee State University
