About From the Volunteer State
From the Volunteer State is a Tennessee-focused podcast built around thoughtful, engaging conversations with the people helping shape the state. Politics and public policy remain an important part of the show, but the brand is intentionally broader than any one party, office or organization. The goal is to create a platform that can feature elected officials alongside business leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, coaches, artists, community leaders and Tennesseans with compelling stories worth hearing.
A person worth knowing. An idea worth understanding. A story worth hearing.
