New podcast by local Downtowners coming soon

I’ve got things to do this morning, so only one news item in today’s post. However, it’s a good one.

901 Speaks is a new podcast that will be starting up next month. It will be hosted by two good friends of mine, Austin “Coyote” Wiley and Andrew “Big Andrew” Usher. The purpose of the podcast, as I understand it, is to tell the stories of real people in Downtown Memphis.

They come from diverse backgrounds. Coyote is a bartender/server/barback at one of Downtown’s favorite watering holes. Big Andrew comes from corporate IT. Both of them frequent the same Downtown spots I do.

Very excited to hear what they create. I’ll let you know when the first episode drops.
