Memphis Morning News With Ditch & TimJUDGE EXPOSED | Commissioner Wright Exposes Judge Corbin-JohnsonHeard on Memphis Morning News with Ditch & Tim Van Horn, Shelby County Commissioner Mick Wright shared some stunning facts he has discovered regarding a case to remove Clerk Wanda Halbert. Judge Felicia Corban-Johnson asked Halbert's attorney to write the order to dismiss the case and then filed it on January 9th. The judge then sat on the order for a month and filed another order using the exact language written by the defendant's attorney and added some misspelled words and commentary. Is it typical to ask defendants attorney's to write judges orders? Should this level of mediocracy be accepted in...

Out of the Comfort ZoneThe Power of Twos and Threes with Brad BorkanSend us a textWhen it comes to achieving extra-ordinary results, we have a few myths that don’t match reality. For one, we tend to focus on “the one” person who single handedly accomplished a goal. Or, two, we tend to focus on the larger team involved in delivering a goal. What if neither are correct? What if it’s a small team or two or three that work closely together while others float in and out at different times. Looking at historical accomplishments, e.g., Wright Brothers, Gilbert and Sullivan, Apollo 13, we see exactly this pattern. Furtherm...

TapeHeads: 80's Music and Beyond39: Michael Penn, "No Myth" | A Fish Called WandaMichael Penn is one of our collective favorites. The musician, that is, not the YouTube mathematician. You may not think you know him, but you certainly know his family; brothers Sean and Chris, TV director father Leo, actor mother Eileen, sister-in-law Robin Wright (Inconceivable!), and singer/actor wife Aimee Mann. Lots of connections. He has a handful of critically acclaimed albums and has done numerous movie soundtracks, including Boogie Nights. We go through his albums and focus on his 1989 single, "No Myth." Stunningly interesting story, we think you'll agree.

The Green FlameTlingit Elder Wanda Culp and Joshua Wright - The Biggest Threat to the Alaskan Rainforest This CenturyThe Tongass Rainforest in Southeast Alaska is the last great expanse of temperate old growth forest left in the United States, and it has been partially protected since the "Roadless Rule" halted most logging there in 2001. Now, the "biggest threat to the west coast rainforest this century" is here: Bill S.1889/H.R. 4748, which would permanently privatize 115,200 acres (including 60,000 acres of old-growth) of Tongass National Forest into the hands of Sealaska Corporation — which has already logged massive swathes of the region.
