And we’re back with a very special release because today you’ll be hearing the very first podcast episode from the wonderful ladies over at Memphis Type History, Caitlin Horton and Rebecca Phillips. You may remember them from our previous conversation on Episode 41. Well the paintings, blog, and book are expanding into a weekly podcast where they’ll explore, in bite-sized chunks, the history behind many of Memphis’ iconic landmarks.

With Melissa we discuss food and restaurateur ideas, Matt cues into some more amazing Black Lodge stories, plus the crazy way he meet his fiance’, and Ryan continues to express the interesting and uncommon sides of this year’s Indie Memphis.
