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 year begins officially on Thursday, and we’ve got a list of things for you to do on Wednesday, New Year’s Eve, in our guide to the holiday.
But after the countdowns and the ball drops, there’s an annual New Year’s Day prayer breakfast and a black-eyed pea soup you might want to try. Plus, pregame festivities for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, as well as the bowl game itself.
Join Mary Cashiola and Bianca Phillips as they set up the week for you.
