“Drowned in History” is a podcast that broadcasts the hidden histories embedded in the cityscape of Memphis. Uncover the stories that give voice to the people and places who have defined – and continue to define – the city.
The modern architectural preservationist movement is nearly 60 years old. Many of the buildings that were erected in defiance of the initial preservationists are now themselves eligible for National Register status. For a society still rapidly changing, how is preservation changing with it? For a city like Memphis, a contradictory place of demand and decline, how does a tool like preservation help inform what our city becomes? To help answer these questions and more, join the conversation with Leah Fox-Greenberg, chief executive of Memphis Heritage.
