This Special Edition of the "Everything Auburn" podcast comes to you 387 miles from the Plains in Memphis, Tennessee! In celebration of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Induction Ceremony Week, we’re honored to be broadcasting from the Sam Phillips Recording Studio as we discuss the legacy of Sam Phillips, the Father of Rock 'n' Roll, and his unique connection to Auburn University. It all started with a Radio Fundamentals class back in 1943 at what was then Alabama Polytechnic Institute. In this episode, we have with us two very special guests to talk about it all: Jerry Phillips, the son of Sam Phillips, and Halley Phillips, the granddaughter of one of the most important figures in the history of Rock 'n' Roll on what would be his 100th birthday!
