Peg Leg Porker BBQ
Nashville, TN
May 17, 2018
Other than politics and football, the most controversial topic of discussion among Tennesseans could easily be barbecue. You know how it goes: Daddy likes dry rub, Mama likes lots of wet sauce and crazy Uncle Harvey swears by brisket. Before you know it, nobody's talking to anyone. Maybe we should listen to Carey Bringle. Tennessee Crossroads visits The Peg Leg Porker, where Carey champions the Memphis style. But don't judge. Just sample. Unless you want brisket. Carey says, if you do. you'll have to go to Texas. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more.

Violins of Hope
Nashville, TN

In the city of Nashville, there is no shortage of well-crafted instruments. Ask any musician and they’ll tell you that a handcrafted instrument has its own personality and individual voice. In this story you’ll see a collection of violins who all share a sad history. Violins that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. Tennessee Crossroads' Jessica Turk takes us on a tour of the Violins of Hope exhibit and shows us how instruments speak for those that no longer can and inspire the rest of us to say never again.
