EPISODE 3 - Architecture, Travel , and Books .... Oh My !!!

Nashville obtained its name as “Athens of the South” initially because of its dedication to higher education. But in 1897, a replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece ;that was originally built for the Tennessee centennial exposition help to solidify this name. Till this day, this monument serves as a reminder as what is considered to be the pinnacle of classical architecture. Today’s guest is a true Southern Belle, that connects the two worlds of Athens and Nashville. Her expertise as former director of Education at the Parthenon, has now landed her the position of Director of the American Branch of the Hellenic Institute of Cultural Diplomacy.

Se hace camino al andar. Golpe a golpe, verso a verso'. Tune in so you can hear how Nashville has rooted Alison Brazil  to the woman she is today.
