On “The AM/DM,” Editorial Director Mary Cashiola and criminal justice reporter Aarron Fleming talk about why prosecutors’ arguments might have fallen short in the latest Young Dolph murder trial. Also on the podcast, the University of Memphis started classes this week, but in the run-up to the fall semester, we learned it was closing its Office of Multicultural Affairs in accordance with state law. And some area leaders believe Shelby County needs to build a new jail, but one question is how to pay for it. The jail topic continues on “Behind The Headlines”: Understaffing, overcrowding, extended intake times, drug use, broken jail locks and elevators and medical problems up to and including multiple inmate deaths are just some entries on the current facility’s long list of troubles. On another episode of the show, as Porter-Leath works to enroll thousands more prekindergarten students, early-childhood education organization First 8 Memphis is continuing efforts toward free, quality classrooms for kids. On “Sound Bites,” Holly Whitfield talks to owner of Memphis Whistle about craft-cocktail philosophy, recipes, what the restaurant offers today and how they look at owning a small business in Midtown. On another episode, Whitfield talks about Craft Food & Wine fest, which is heaven for charcuterie board lovers.
