The AM/DM podcast: What to do on the last weekend of the year

By , Daily Memphian Published: December 26, 2025 6:22 AM CT

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. 

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, hopefully you like music or comedy. Or both. 

There’s a paint and sip “Ugly Sweater Night” — with comedy by Rob Love — at Rumba Room and nationally touring comic Dan Altern is headlining a show at the Flyway Comedy Club. 

The Memphis Listening Lab is hosting a birthday listening session for the late Alex Chilton, of Box Tops and Big Star fame. And Lafayette’s Music Room is hosting a White Trash Christmas Bash, after Christmas, with Mustache The Band playing ’90s country hits. And mustaches will be provided! 

Today, Mary Cashiola and Bianca Phillips talk about those events as well as what to do on New Year’s Eve.
