Real Talk Memphis-with Chip

S1E149 - Paul Young, Toni Williams, and Evan Wu


Listen Later

Episode Notes My guests include the honorable Mayor Paul Young who after only being in office barely a month already has a full plate. A major snow storm that brought things to a grinding halt and a new City Council that put the brakes on the reappointment of Police Chief Davis. He talks about that and the rest of his agenda. Toni Williams is the Interim Superintendent of MSCS. She has a busy agenda as well trying to navigate the academic needs of the students while keeping standards high. She recently announced the district was joining others for a collective stance against community violence saying 22 children have died as a result in this school year. She tells me how infrastructure changes and other measures can help to change the focus. Next, science was never my strong suit, but for Evan Wu it helped him to get a major award. The MUS senior was recently named as a scholar in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. He joins me to talk about it and the $2000 award that comes with it. This and more Monday, 6pm on WYXR 91.7 FM, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. It’s time to talk!
