  • Fascinating histories told in Monotone

    As a longtime listener of this podcast I can say I’ve learned an enormous amount from it and even plan travel to visit places featured in the podcast. With the exception of some fun musical transitions it is, however, a dry, largely emotionless listen. It’s not read by an annoying AI voice but much of the copy is read with a similar flat tone. Perhaps more conversations would liven it up as I think some of the wonderful research here is lost in the listless reading of essays.

  • An essential podcast for every true Floridian.

    As a lifelong Floridian and a history major, the Florida Frontiers podcast introduces the listener to fascinating tales into the stats’s history. While some of the topics could be considered general knowledge, the majority of the show features little-known episodes unique to Florida’s past, and both are presented with unique perspectives that entertain and educate the novice and historian alike. I look forward to each episode and the knowledge it promotes. Additionally, through this podcast, I h... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Florida Frontiers Radio Program #637
Q: Connie, Tampa had a history of shipbuilding before World War II. How did that figure into the war efforts of the 1940s?
Tampa's early shipbuilding legacy laid a foundation for rapid wartime expansion, with TASCO and allied firms scaling up production and integrating skilled and semi-skilled labor to meet demand, while also reshaping local demographics and gender roles.
Florida Frontiers Radio Program #635
Q: What does the Orlando monument story tell us about Civil War memory in Florida?
The Johnny Reb statue illustrates how monuments were used to promote a Lost Cause narrative and how public memory can shift when broader social movements push for racial justice, leading to relocation and recontextualization.
Florida Frontiers Radio Program #623
Q: What is the significance of the archaeological findings at the Governor Martin site?
The findings confirm the presence of the DeSoto expedition and shed light on interactions between Spanish explorers and Native Americans.
Florida Frontiers Radio Program #615
Q: Connie, in 2013, as Florida commemorated the 500th anniversary of the landing of Juan Ponce De Leon on the peninsula, many historians and celebratory event planners struggled with the question of how to present the explorer?
Historians debated the portrayal of Ponce De Leon due to his overshadowing by other explorers and the tendency of textbooks to provide minimal coverage of his importance in the narratives of American history.
Florida Frontiers Radio Program #616
Q: What happened to the Revolutionary Republicans who were well-organized and ready to carry out a successful invasion?
They faced several challenges, including a lack of funds and naval support, which ultimately led to the collapse of the invasion plan.
