Memphis Mike and Friends

About Memphis Mike and Friends

Born from the suggestion of some clever friends looking to tame Mike's boundless energy, Memphis Mike and Friends isn't your average local podcast. Sure, you'll get your fill of Memphis Tigers news (we wouldn't want to disappoint Mike!), but that's just the tip of the iceberg. This show dives deep, exploring the stories of the people who make Memphis tick. Each episode, Mike, with his infectious enthusiasm, will be joined by a rotating cast of his, well, "friends." These friends aren't just random acquaintances; they're local heroes, hidden gems, and everyday folks with extraordinary stories.

   Discovering The Children's Museum of Memphis with Dr. Stewart Burgess

   I'm excited to welcome Dr. Stuart Burgess, President & CEO of the Children's Museum of Memphis (CMOM), to the latest episode of Memphis Mike and Friends! Before taking the helm at CMOM, Dr. Burgess spent many years serving in leadership at St. George's Independent School, where he helped shape the lives of countless students and families through his commitment to education, character development, and community engagement. His passion for helping young people learn and grow continues today through his leadership of one of Memphis' most beloved family destinations. Join us as we discuss his journey from education to museum leadership, the important role CMOM plays in inspiring curiosity and learning, and his vision for serving children and families across our community. It's a fascinating conversation with a leader dedicated to making a difference in the lives of Memphis children. #ChildrensMuseumOfMemphis #DrStewartBurgess #MemphisMikeAndFriends
