In this special Heart of the Gulch episode, we’re joined by Emmy-nominated news anchor and reporter Lydia Fielder from WSMV 4 Nashville. Believe it or not, Lydia and I were actually next-door neighbors back when Heart of the Gulch had its very first studio—so this one feels like a full-circle moment! We talk about her incredible career journey, from covering major breaking stories in Middle Tennessee to landing exclusive interviews with stars like Nate Bargatze. She also opens up about her Emmy-nominated work on Our Stories, Too and what it’s like to represent diversity in the country music industry through her reporting.

Of course, I couldn’t let Lydia go without some good-natured teasing about her love for the Arkansas Razorbacks—and my Texas A&M Aggies always beating them! Beyond sports rivalries, she shares what drives her passion for journalism, her experiences covering everything from natural disasters to national trials, and the joy she finds in connecting with people both on and off the anchor desk. This interview is equal parts inspiring, insightful, and fun—a chance to get to know one of Nashville’s most trusted voices in news on a more personal level.
