On this month's I Love Memphis Podcast, my cohost Kevin Cerrito and I do something a little different. We invited Greg Akers, managing editor of the Memphis Business Journal, to join us as a panelist to go over the highlights of 2014 rather than our usual segments and interview. Scroll down just a smidge to listen right here.

Listen to find out what Kevin, Greg, and I will remember most about 2014. What did we forget? Tweet @ilovememphis or @cerrito, tag #ILMPodcast, comment on this post, or email me here.
