Real Talk Memphis

My guests this week include Memphis Crime Beat Executive Director Leslie Taylor. We all know that many of the individuals that have been arrested are not first time visitors or offenders. She tells me just how big a problem the issue of recidivism is in Memphis and you might be surprised at the numbers. Next, the Youth, Justice and Education Center has a new leader as custody of juveniles is now in under the control of Shelby County Government and the Corrections Center. Reese Walker was recently named as Interim Executive Director of the center, and tells me about how emphasizing and encouraging them thru support and training can make a positive difference. Finally, as we get closer to the holidays, emotions can often times get the best of us allowing deep depression to set in. Therapist and counselor Alicia Denton joins me to share tips on how to cope thru a difficult period for so many people. That and more both on air and on line Monday, 6 pm on 91.7 WYXR. Also, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts!
