Gina Neely is the guest on this week’s “Sound Bites.” In addition to riffing on what makes good barbecue and why Memphis is No. 1 on her list, Neely and Holly Whitfield discussed SmokeSlam.

“I think you could hear a pin drop in the courtroom when the judge read out the verdict: ‘not guilty, not guilty, not guilty,’ seven times, not guilty for each officer,” Memphis journalist Katherine Burgess said about the verdicts of the ex-cops charged in Tyre Nichols’ death.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington discuss why they believe the Grizzlies ultimately hired Tuomas Iisalo as the head coach.

Chef Felicia Willett-Schuchardt said Felicia Suzanne’s will offer signature dishes and Southern favorites at her new restaurant, which she discusses on “Sound Bites.”

Hosting a major barbecue competition is no easy feat, but the small team at Memphis in May International Festival pull it off year after year. The Daily Memphian gets into it on “Sound Bites.”
