The AM/DM podcast: Political decorum, Grizz across the pond and Kamala

By , Daily Memphian Published: January 12, 2026 6:09 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. 

It’s a big week in politics and governance, as the 114th General Assembly starts its latest legislative session in Nashville. 

But, closer to home, the Shelby County Board of Commissioners will chat about a resolution to set new standards to censure members of the body who break the rules of decorum. 

Plus, former presidential candidate Kamala Harris will talk about her new book, “107 Days,” at a ticketed event at the Orpheum Theatre. 

And then the Memphis Grizzlies are on the road ... to Europe. 

In today’s episode, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips discuss the events of the upcoming week.
