    Show notes
    Historic preservation architect and Coliseum Coalition vice president Chooch Pickard led an interdisciplinary team of experts to produce a physical assessment of the shuttered Mid-South Coliseum in 2016. That assessment found the building to be in excellent shape, and those findings were later corroborated by the City of Memphis’ own due diligence. Chooch brings to bear decades of experience restoring other landmark buildings in Memphis as he and his colleagues work with the City to reopen the Coliseum.

    Episode 9: Mark Fleischer Apr 22, 2020
    Show notes
    Mark Fleischer did something that seemed counterintuitive in our digital age, he started a print newspaper in 2018 called Storyboard Memphis. Since then, he’s published neighborhood-level news that was missing from the local media landscape before that, and he’s given digital-only outlets a way to get news out in print. Arts coverage and coverage of historic preservation have also found a home. Mark is a business entrepreneur, but also a champion of the causes he lifts up in his newspaper and on his Storyboard 30 radio show and podcast.

    Show notes
    Kyle Wagenschutz was a critical figure in growing and sustaining Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop in Memphis, alongside founder Anthony Siracusa. Together, the two shared a love for bikes and punk rock, and they found that each subculture played a role in helping them build community around bikes. Kyle advocated for bike lanes in Memphis, first from his perch at Revolutions, but then as the City of Memphis’ first bicycle/pedestrian coordinator. Anthony and Kyle’s effective “inside-outside” game showed what can happen when government and grassroots work together. The two friends’ partnership helped move Memphis from a “worst city for biking” to “most improved” and on to being a national leader in just six years. Now the Director of Local Innovation at PeopleForBikes in Boulder, CO, what Kyle learned through trial and error in Memphis is benefiting people in other cities.

    From his perch as a public defender, Josh Spickler saw the limitations of the public defender's office… the enormous case load limiting how much time could be spent on each client and how bail practices and expungement costs were a disproportionate burden for the poor. His curiosity about how to address these issues led him to found Just City, which for five years has advocated for change and has racked up several significant wins.
