This week's podcast is not about projects that have been announced for 2023 (you can visit knoxnews.com to read all about that).

Instead, we share our bold predictions for the new year – which businesses announced for 2023 might not happen, for example, and which neighborhood is going to be the hot new place to live and play. 

Ryan Wilusz and Brenna McDermott have big ideas about whether crumbling buildings will be demolished, whether a downtown grocery store is finally viable, whether Neyland Stadium will serve beer next season and a whole lot more.
