The AM/DM is The Daily Memphian’s weekday podcast. Listen in every morning around 6:30 a.m. to get the news you need for the day, as well as a critical — but quick — interview on a larger story.
It’s Monday, Nov. 10, and if there’s a theme for the week ahead, it might be walking.
Many of this week’s notable events have ties to pedestrians, trails and public transportation. This morning, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips give us the scoop.
