It’s been more than a year since The Majestic Grille served a steak or a mimosa at brunch, but that all changes this weekend. Owners Deni and Patrick Reilly joined Jennifer Biggs on this week’s Sound Bites podcast to discuss the restaurant’s reopening. 

Reaching those who are the most difficult to reach for COVID-19 vaccinations in Memphis relies on contacts made long before the pandemic. Rev. Keith Norman of Baptist Memorial Health Care and Meritan CEO Melanie Keller talked about the vaccine outreach to the homebound and homeless on “Behind The Headlines.” 

State Rep. Mark White (R-Memphis) says his bill to put the “three Gs” in Germantown’s school district doesn’t answer all the questions, but it is a conversation starter about moving Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools out of Shelby County Schools.

“The legislation has mainly been put forward to get negotiations going,” he said on this week’s Politics Podcast.

And beat writer Drew Hill and columnist Chris Herrington break down the last week of Grizzlies games and predict how the playoff picture will shape up in the West on this week’s Grizzlies Podcast.
