My guests include Shelby County Commissioner Britney Thornton. She is winding up her first term and shares her experiences both good and challenging. I also ask her what she learned and what might come next. Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner has been in law enforcement for over 40 years and as his time as sheriff winds down, we discuss his career highs and lows and if retirement and grandchildren are his new priority or ??. Finally, speaking of law enforcement, my next guest is a retired MPD Colonel with 30 years experience of patrolling the streets of Memphis. Darren Goods knows about crime and is responsible for solving the Lorenzen Wright murder case while with the gang unit. Now, he is the author of a new book, Memphis Crime: A Trilogy of Fear. He talks about that and what he sees on the streets today. That and more on air and online Monday, 6pm on 91.7 FM WYXR. Also the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
It’s time to talk!
