S1E169 - Chandell Ryan, Van Turner, and Dr. Nick Watkins

Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

On the next and all new Real Talk Memphis my guests include; Chandell Ryan, President/CEO of the Downtown Memphis Commission. She makes her first visit to the show to talk about her new position and how if anything she did as the former COO for the City of Memphis helped her. Also, now that we are in the midst of a busy tourist season how she is positioning her group moving forward. Van Turner is a familiar face to many in our city and these days he is still helping others. The Town of Mason is preparing to welcome Blue Oval City, but they also want to be an inclusive partner. Van explains how a community coalition wants a Community Benefits Agreement with Ford that will benefit everyone. Lastly, the number of juvenile shooting victims continues to grow and is putting a great strain on the area hospitals. Dr. Nick Watkins is an ER specialist at Le Bonheur. He tells me what it's like to be on the front lines of an overwhelmed emergency room. That and more on air and online Monday from 6-7 pm on WYXR 91.7 FM. Also, WYXR.org, TuneIn, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
