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.
The week starts out very serious, with two public meetings to discuss the plan to close Chickasaw Middle School and fold it into Westwood High School to create a new Westwood school serving sixth through twelfth grades.
Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips discuss that, as well as the Greater Memphis Chamber’s Annual Chairman’s Luncheon, one of the best local networking events of the year — if you ask Cashiola.
They also discuss a recent trend of the season, the holiday rom-com, and how there’s one coming out that’s set in Memphis.
