The AM/DM podcast: Hot cocoa, holiday shopping and a very short run

The AM/DM is The Daily Memphian’s weekday podcast. Listen in every morning around 6:30 a.m. to get the news you need for the day, as well as a critical — but quick — interview on a larger story. 

Outdoor events are all the rage this weekend, with a fun holiday market, a very short run (with a much longer afterparty) and a hot take on fire pits. 

Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips discuss those events, plus an exhibit of Stax Records songwriter Bettye Crutcher’s letters, lyric sheets and photos once lost — and then found — in an antique mall in Lexington, Tennessee.
