Amazing host who does a fantastic job with the interviews.
I enjoy the episodes but would listen to it a lot more if the volume was raised. I typically can only listen to this podcast with headphones in and my volume turned all the way up. In the car it’s almost impossible to hear the speakers clearly. Other than that, good content pertaining to FL politics.
Ok source of news and info particular to Florida. Unexceptional. I get why other reviewers comment on the podcast being behind the news, though I don’t think it is that bad. The podcast does get into the larger issues which are not really time sensitive.
either the podcaster is 2-3 days behind the news or the podcaster is 2-3 days slow on posting the podcast to the public?
It says it’s about Florida in general but the content is very Tampa region heavy.
