Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
Will the Memphis Grizzlies start their rebuild with a promising season? Will they ever sign a new lease? And why was the city of Memphis featured in a centerpiece story in The Wall Street Journal this week?
These are among the questions Geoff Calkins and his guests tackle on this week’s “The Geoff Calkins Podcast.”
Daily Memphian reporter Samuel Hardiman stops by with an update on lease negotiations. Then, beloved broadcasters Brevin Knight and Pete Pranica join the podcast to offer their thoughts on the Grizzlies’ 26th season in Memphis. Along the way, Knight clears up why Jerry West once traded him from the Grizzlies to the Phoenix Suns.
Finally, Charles Fishman tackles a handful of developing stories, including the perils of Union Avenue, KFC switching from Pepsi to Coke and whether artificial intelligence really is going to be the end of humanity. So stick around to the end.
