This week on the Behind the Headlines Radio Roundtable, a discussion about what is next for Beale Street.

Host Eric Barnes, publisher of the Memphis Daily News, is joined by Memphis City Councilman Lee Harris, Memphis Daily News reporter Bill Dries, and Memphis developer John Elkington. They discuss what changes might lay ahead for Beale Street, as the City of Memphis takes control after years of legal disputes between the City of Memphis and the Beale Street Development Corporation.

For the complete conversation, check the Behind the Headlines video page, or tune-in Fridays at 7 on WKNO-TV 10.

My mother introduced me to WKNO-FM and public radio long before I can remember. I suppose the first thing I really recall about WKNO-FM is that every afternoon, when my mother picked me up from school, the radio was tuned-in to The World, then All Things Considered, probably beginning around age 8. The way these reporters and hosts took you from the comfort of your mom's van to wherever in the world they were reporting from absolutely fascinated me. From then on, I was officially hooked.
