The AM/DM podcast: Surreal events for a super weekend

By , Daily Memphian Updated: November 14, 2025 6:36 AM CT | Published: November 14, 2025 6:36 AM CT

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. 

Are you ready to get a little bit wacky? Then this weekend’s events are for you. 

One gathering combines two trends — eating pudding with a fork and day-raving with coffee — while another combines the Pink Palace and Opera Memphis and LaZer Divas with Sky Pirates of Destiny. (See? Wacky.)

Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips discuss those plans, plus an illuminating new event at the Memphis Zoo and a bus to all the Irish bars in the Memphis area.
