This week on “The AM/DM”: Because of term limits, Shelby County will see a new mayor, new sheriff and new county clerk — positions currently held by Lee Harris, Floyd Bonner Jr. and Wanda Halbert, respectively — elected in 2026. And the shift to gas-powered trucks means West Tennessee isn’t tied to the nation’s precarious electric vehicle market. Also, a new strategic plan should take Collierville into 2050, but what that will look like — and what it will mean for the town — is still up in the air. We also look into what to do in the last weekend of 2025.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington recap a pair of losses for the Memphis Grizzlies to the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder on the Grizzlies podcast.

Sarah Leach, The Daily Memphian’s director of fundraising and development, joins Eric Barnes on this week’s episode of “The Sidebar.”

And the leader of Shelby County’s Community Services Division talks about the safety net of programs and the balancing act that comes with uncertain money on “Behind The Headlines.” On another episode, activists responding to immigration police calls on behalf of those detained said the lines look blurred at times as a police stop is followed by a federal presence.
