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. 

Big government projects may move forward this week. The Shelby County Board of Commissioners is expected to vote on $28.8 million in capital funding for Regional One Health’s new Union Avenue campus. And the Memphis-Shelby County Schools system will consider the next phase of its facilities plan, which includes school closures, consolidations and renovations. 

Plus, the University of Memphis men’s basketball team will be in the Bahamas for the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship. 

Editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips discuss all of that and the week ahead.
