On “The AM/DM”: Interested in a plant-based lifestyle? Newsletter Editor Bianca Phillips has thoughts and tips. In 2025, Memphis’ number of murders declined more than 25% since the year before. “The AM/DM” explores what’s going on there. Also, The Daily Memphian’s Ellen Chamberlain recently put together a “worth the drive” piece on restaurants that may be a little bit off your beaten path but should not be missed. The Daily Memphian also obtained daily Memphis Safe Task Force reports between October and early December 2025, giving us more insight into the operations than ever before. And the greater chestnut weevil hadn’t been definitively seen since the 1990s. Many assumed it was extinct — but not two scientists at the University of Memphis.

On “Behind The Headlines,” reporters discuss top local stories of 2025, including the link between the Memphis-Shelby County Schools ouster of Marie Feagins and the arrival of the National Guard. On another episode, state Sen. Raumesh Akbari and County Commission Chair Shante Avant discussed the task force’s immigration role on as well as legislation that would allow a Tennessee takeover of Memphis schools.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington recap the Grizzlies’ win against the Spurs and discuss the latest Memphis injuries on the Memphis Grizzlies podcast.
