Tennessee Valley Crossroads
Will DavisHosted by UTC students, Tennessee Valley Crossroads brings UTC students together to have candid, unscripted conversations, fostering understanding and breaking down barriers between classmates from different cultures and backgrounds.With the rise of digital communication leading to a decline in meaningful human-to-human interactions, UTC students came to the PodLab and opened their lives to each other, sharing stories about what matters most to them. They discussed politics, religion, guns, technology, and loneliness. Under the direction of Will Davis, they studied each other’s recordings and selected the material that resonated most with them.The result is Tennessee Valley Crossroads, inspired by StoryCorps’ One Small Step initiative, which brings together strangers to find the humanity in each other.
