Matt Ladner! Three designers get together and shockingly they talk design! Memphis design people, the changing scene and life of Memphis, water in video games, running in Memphis, Matt's time at Lockheed Martin, 'Millenials' turning around and producing the culture, and about just how different GEN NET(!) is.

Matt Ladner is Literally a Taco Salad

Marco Pavé comes onto the podcast for in depth conversations about Memphis issues involving poverty, change, racism, social preservation, Gil Scott, and Churches+Beer. Born and raised in North Memphis where his life was affected by the culture and city around him Marco is responding in his own way towards the standards of Memphis today. Chasing his dreams and practicing for years on end have lead him to the current precipice where he's working hard to make something for himself in the city he loves.

Marco Pavé - leading the new wave in Memphis Hip Hop.

"There is a rebirth brewing on the Memphis Hip Hop scene and Marco Pavé, is poised to lead the revival. This born and bred Memphis native is an amazing lyricist with a distinct style and charisma that appeals to the triple crown of rap enthusiasts: the purists, the radio lovers and the eclectic hipster. With a laid back demeanor that contradicts his energetic music and performance style."

Josh Campbell, Storyteller of Spillit Memphis talks about his history and growth towards storytelling, Memphis cultural growth, Memphis history, and the unnecessary divide between East Memphis and Midtown. You'll also get to hear about his controversial view on This American Life *gasp*.

• Spillit is true, unscripted stories told in front of a live audience in Memphis, Tennessee.
• Spillit events are held quarterly and each event has a theme.
• Stories last ten minutes and must have a beginning, a middle, an end, and some sort of moral to tie it together.
• Some are hilarious, others contemplative, heartbreaking, suspenseful, and some reflective.
• Anyone can tell a story! Themes are announced months in advance.

Holly Whitfield came on to the show to talk Memphis, blogging, her creative history, and as an added bonus this also happened to be the inaugural launch day of Creative Memphis Podcast so we talk podcast shop a bit as well. I Love Memphis Blog [operated by Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau: http://www.memphistravel.com/] has done so much for our city by becoming a space where Memphians and Memphis visitors can go check out what's ahead for the weekend, restaurant buzz, social media photos from locals, contests that benefit various local non-profits, interviews with prominent Memphians, and of course where to get brunch in Memphis on a lazy Sunday. They also have their own podcast too! So to entertain you on your Memorial Day weekend while bouncing from fun event to fun event, won't you please tune in to hear a couple of podcasters talk Memphis and then digress, a lot.

Blog posting tips

• Take out the -ing & -ly / passive voice
• Turn being verbs (was, is, be) find a way to turn it into an action verb. | Ex: "I was eating" -> "He ate"
• Vary sentence length. A mix of short and long sentences. | Ex: "This morning i woke up and I wasn't really sure I was gonna have eggs, milk, or coffee. I thought about making some yougurt, but I was out of granola. I went with the coffee." - have contrast
• Let your personal voice show, don't be stale. Don't write like you think you're supposed to sound.
• Stand up and read your story outloud to analyze quality.

*Mark Twain Critique of Writing:*
“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief
sentences. That is the way to write English – it is the modern way and the
best way. Stick to it; don’t let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in.
When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don’t mean utterly, but kill
most of them – then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are
close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective
habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is
as hard to get rid of as any other vice.”

Joey Miller came on the podcast and we talked photography, don't do free work, famous photographers, Malcom Gladwell, beards, bacon, & Memphis. Tune in and learn about freelance photography, how to keep progressing in your work, and how equipment does not and does affect photographic skill.
