  • Enlightening Podcast

    Though these first podcasts are long, it’s well worth the time to listen to learn about the history of Bradenton and its current events. This is especially true for those who are new to Bradenton or for those with busy schedules who don’t have the time to follow what’s happening in Bradenton. I found Dennis Maley extremely helpful in the way he presents issues with facts and historical background.
