So much potential
I’m not a Memphis native but have fallen in love with learning about its rich history. I want this podcast to be good so badly, however the audio is pretty bad and the conversation trails off into tangents. I’d love it if it were a bit more scripted and even storyteller style. Reference Atlanta Archive podcast.
Eagerly Erases the Black Memphis Majority
This rambling podcast presents a version of Memphis history that erases the rich history of the people, contributions, and culture of the Black/African-American majority of the city.
Extremely Biased
Any podcast that defends the honor of Nathan Bedford Forest is NOT something I can ever recommend. With that being said, hopefully this gives you an insight into the type of ideology the speakers of this podcast has. It actually sickens me.
