"It is odd that sports is a place where people are willing to listen when we talk about other things. The cliché is people always tell you to stick to sports, but people really do like engaging when we talk about deeper topics."

Today we have special guest Geoff Calkins in the studio to show how sports unifies cities, has the power to change city narratives, and why his biggest hope for Memphis might be different than you'd think. 

Geoff is a seasoned journalist, the sports columnist for The Daily Memphian, host of The Geoff Calkins Show on 92.9 ESPN, and is the author of the 2016 book of his columns titled "After the Jump." His columns are about so much more than sports, and as such, he has become a trusted voice in the local and national arenas representing Memphis topics.
