Real Talk Memphis-with Chip

Lee Harris, Josh Spickler, and Stephanie Yarbrough


Listen Later

Episode Notes My guests include the first appearance of Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris. He was one of the first public officials to speak out regarding the Memphis Safe Task Force in his opposition against it. Three weeks later, we have seen over 1000 arrests, thousands of tickets written, 200 ICE arrests and many unanswered questions. He joins me live to discuss his concerns. Another concern is the number arrests by 20 plus agencies and the THP as to where to put the individuals being charged. Josh Spickler, Executive Director of Just City is also wondering the same thing as the jail population goes above its limit. He returns to share his thoughts on the additional strain this will put on an already over burdened court system. Finally, In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I speak with Stephanie Yarbrough, a survivor with a story of support and encouragement to share in hopes of saving lives. That and more, on air and online Monday, 6 pm on 91.7 WYXR. Also, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. It’s time to talk!
