Ric takes you on a tour of historic Elmwood Cemetery. This place has 90,000 permanent residents. In this episode, Ric tells the story of one of these residents, Thomas D. Byrd. Probably no one you have ever heard of. By the end of this show, you will know about Mr. Byrd and the rather remarkable story behind his life. A fun little romp through history and a wholly out of place joke happens in this episode. For associated pictures Ric took while recording this episode, go here.

Ric gets into his car and goes for a drive. After finding a nice quiet spot, Ric talks about the nature of greed in today's society and the whole entitlement generation that seems to exist all around us. Is there hope for the future? Surprisingly, there might be some hope for all us. Then there are a whole, large group of people who are forced into a life they never bargained for, just to stay alive.

Ric & Jeff sit down with Dean Zachary. Dean is an illustrator for DC comics and other comic book companies. These three guys completely geek out over the world of comic books and the movies they inspire. If you are a science fiction nerd, then, this show is for you. Kick back and relax and come to the dark side for a bit. The dark side of nerdom and all the cool things happening in that world.

Ric spends some time in the park on a nice, sunny afternoon among kids playing soccer, a girl reading a book, a guy painting a picture on an easel and man flying a drone. He spills the beans on a project he is working on and discovers, to his dismay, the batteries are dying fast. Completely unprepared (as usual), he covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. All for your listening pleasure.

Forced out of the studio, Ric gets into a car and decides to go on a beer and liquor run and takes you along for the ride. Although this episode is rather short, it took Ric a long time to record this episode and you'll understand why when you listen to this show. Also in this episode, Ric begs for money, sort of.

In this episode, Ric talks about keeping your work honest. Plagiarism is rampant in show business and it can be difficult when your work shows up in other places under the guise of someone else. Or worse, when the thief takes full on credit for your work. Show notes for this episode can be found here.

It would have been pointless to use some goofy title like, The Doc Is In or What's Up, Doc? Frankly, it would not have done this episode any justice. Not to mention the simple fact we would have earned a proper ass beating for using such hackneyed lines. The truth of the matter is this, Doc Studard is a very interesting person. Funny, educated and quick to cut to the bone. All the traits needed to be the morning man at Radio Memphis. That, and a highly amusing conversation.

The 35th Blues Music Awards happened. Ric & Jeff were in attendance along with about 2,000 people. Ric took the mini recorder and wound up talking to several artists outside the event. As it turned out, being in the lobby, the balcony and down on the street was the place to be. Along the way they encountered the great Super Chikan, J.L. Fulks, Preston McEwen, John D'Amato, Matt Isbell & his rather pregnant wife Lisa. Careful, you are gonna learn something here.

The first remote production of this podcast occurs here. Ric and Jeff went down to Beale street to check out their friends Eric Hughes and John D'Amato. Along the way, they encounter a couple of real life Beale street drunks. Then Ric and Jeff join their ranks and get in on the fun. So much so, that Ric thought he was recording his interview with Eric Hughes. Not so much. Our apologies. However, you will hear Eric play a Robert Johnson song. You'll also hear John D'Amato and his band in this show. It's a virtual trip to one of the most iconic streets in America.
