Welcome back to the podcast!
Things are changing around here... We are giving ourselves permission to talk about things that come up in the Elvis community. Don't worry, we'll still be bringing you episodes that are thoroughly researched, backed up with sources and more historical content, BUT we are going to allow ourselves to have some chatty episodes too!
Today we're talking about the first installment of Riley Keough's short film In Process (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mctBm0EsKiM&t=61s)
We discuss our thoughts and feelings about people walking around Graceland (and it not being us!) and whether or not we think that they will ever open the upstairs to visitors.
We also have some exciting events on the horizon: along with several other Elvis fans we will be facilitating a meetup during Elvis Week (tentative 10am on 8/14 in the Guesthouse Lobby) where we will also be raising money for St. Jude.

Fresh off the release of her much-anticipated memoir, completed by her daughter Riley Keough, we explored Lisa's childhood, her relationship with Elvis, her at-times tumultuous romantic life, her immense love for her children, her music and her lyrics.
When possible, we used Lisa's own words, or those of her daughter Riley, taken from the book From Here To The Great Unknown (2024).
