Susan Nadler and Evelyn Shriver are back for an all-new season of the Shady Ladies of Music City podcast. With a focus on “Then andamp; Now,” Season 3 features more stories from their careers in the industry with commentary on the state of the business and Country music today. Episodes 1 and 2 are available today.
Each with storied careers and diverse backgrounds working with George Jones, Tammy Wynette and Randy Travis, the pair became the first women to hold top positions at a major country-music label in Nashville.
"We launched this podcast as a way to archive a lot of the stories about a town and industry we love," said Nadler.
Shriver adds, "Now that we're out of the day-to-day, we can talk about it in a different way that illustrates a lot of how things used to be and perhaps even answer why they are the way they are today."
