As Indie Memphis bounces back from a year without its signature film festival, the group’s new Co-executive Director Alicia George joins Eric Barnes on this week’s episode of “The Sidebar” to talk about the organization’s future. This week on “The AM/DM”: The restaurant industry can seem turbulent, especially in the past five years or so. And the Grammy Awards were held at the beginning of the month, and though there weren’t any Memphians who won a Grammy this year, Memphis was a strong throughline at the ceremonies. Also, the explanation to this riddle lies in a clue: The answer is elementary, my dear Watson. The Memphis-Shelby County Schools board is about to decide on the district’s leadership, and candidates are campaigning for school board seats. But two sponsors of a state bill say little, if any, of that matters. Hear about that on “Behind The Headlines.” On another episode of the show: Interim Shelby County Public Defender Jerri Green talked about dropping crime rates, the overflowing jail and the differing numbers used by different parts of the criminal justice system.
