South Florida's dining landscape is the product of decades of immigration.

With years of on-the-ground reporting from the ventanitas of Little Havana to the pop-up scene in Wynwood, Ryan brings local fluency and a journalist's instinct to the table. You'll learn how decades of immigration shaped one of the most diverse dining cultures in the country, what dishes are truly native to this region, and how to build a realistic eating itinerary without burning away half your trip in traffic.

Welcome back to The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, where this week Clay and Amanda set sail for one of the strangest, most influential horror films of the 1930s: Island of Lost Souls, the classic adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau. Starring Charles Laughton as the delightfully unsettling Doctor Moreau, the film tells the story of a remote tropical outpost where science has gone horribly, horribly wrong. Human-animal hybrids roam the jungle, strange laws govern the land, and civilization is hanging by the thinnest of threads. Clay and Amanda dig into the film's legacy, its pre-Code weirdness, and why it remains one of the most fascinating monster movies ever made.Now, before we go any further, I need to address something that's been bothering me. Is it really an island?Everyone keeps calling it an island. The title says it's an island. The characters say it's an island. But has anyone actually checked? What if it's a peninsula? Has anyone gotten out there with proper surveying equipment? Because if there's even a narrow strip of land connecting it to a larger landmass, then the whole thing falls apart. We'd have to call it Peninsula of Lost Souls, and frankly, that doesn't have the same ring to it.Think about it. People arrive by boat. That proves nothing. Plenty of people arrive at peninsulas by boat. The Florida Keys get boats all the time. Nobody's calling Miami an island.Meanwhile, Clay and Amanda are discussing horrifying beast-men, forbidden science, and Charles Laughton chewing scenery like it owes him money, while I'm stuck wondering about coastal geography. Is there a map? Have we seen satellite imagery? I know satellites didn't exist in 1932, but surely someone has checked by now.Anyway, whether it's an island, a peninsula, or some third category of landform science hasn't discovered yet, Island of Lost Souls remains a horror classic. Join Clay and Amanda as they explore one of cinema's earliest and strangest nightmares.And if anyone has a topographical survey of Moreau's property, please send it immediately.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to check out this month's extra-special patreon episode recorded at the Stanley Hotel!

I get this question often. Where can we stay in the Keys on a beach. Well, if you mean natural white sand beach, pretty much nowhere. We do have some natural beaches, but nothing like the pan handle, Sanibel, Fort Lauderdale or Daytona. But what we DO have, is the Keys, a beautiful string of islands. Thanks for listening!

Nathaniel Linville joins us for Round 2 to share what he's been up to since his last appearance on the show. Two years ago, Nathaniel and his guide, Ian Slater, captured the prestigious Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament title. They followed that achievement by winning the 2026 March Merkin Permit Tournament, staging what many consider one of the greatest comebacks in fly-fishing tournament history with an incredible seven-fish final day. Nathaniel continues to accomplish remarkable feats in the fly-fishing world, driven by an unmatched work ethic, relentless determination, and exceptional talent. Angling excellence runs in the family—his wife, Kat, has built an impressive résumé of her own, winning the 2023 March Merkin alongside Doug Kilpatrick and the 2025 Del Brown Permit Tournament with Nick Labadie.

Featuring Alex Rose, Science Editor, Ocean Geographic Magazine & Co-Founder, Sea Americas Alex Rose has been part of the Ocean Science Radio family for nearly a decade — you may remember her reporting live from MACNA, the Marine Aquarium Conference of North America, back in 2016. Today she's back, this time in the guest chair, with something considerably bigger on the horizon. Alex is the Science Editor of Ocean Geographic Magazine, founder of ocean conservation company Blue Ring, an Explorers Club Fellow, a professional violinist, and now co-host and producer of Sea Americas — a cinematic expedition documentary series following the world's largest all-female dive team as they document the most threatened marine sanctuaries across the Americas. In this conversation, Andrew and Dr. Frances Farabaugh sit down with Alex to talk about what it means to dive with purpose in a moment of accelerating loss — from the functionally extinct reef-building corals of the Florida Keys, to the surprisingly intact reefs of Cuba, to the political headwinds threatening the protected waters these stories depend on. They also dig into the Sea Americas Seed & Spark crowdfunding campaign, the conservation model behind Blue Ring, and what it actually feels like to cry underwater while trying to document a dying reef. Hope, Alex reminds us, needs to be a verb. Let's actively hope.

On the chat we've got Tyler Mastello fresh off an incredible performance at the Keys 100! Tyler crossed the finish line with a time of 28:11:58, a massive jump forward from his 34:49:00 finish at the Tampa Bay 100 Mile. We dive into what it took to make that kind of breakthrough happen, the prep and training to the logistics that comes with running the Keys 100 Mile. Tyler also talks about balancing ultrarunning with life as a firefighter, what race day looked and felt like, the highs and lows he experienced out on the course, and how the miles went down from Key Largo to Key West.This episode is packed with stories from the Florida Keys, lessons learned through training and racing, behind-the-scenes moments from race day, and an honest look at the grind of ultra running.

*Special Guest Appearance by Colby!*In September 2004, Charlie Brandt and his wife Teri evacuated the Florida Keys ahead of a hurricane and went to stay with Teri's niece Michelle in Orlando.

In this episode, Alex opens with the escalating tensions surrounding Cuba, including the newly unsealed U.S. indictment charging former Cuban leader Raúl Castro with murder and conspiracy over the 1996 shoot down of Brothers to the Rescue planes that killed four people. The charges arrive amid growing speculation about instability inside Cuba, reports of drone strike warnings in the Florida Keys, and renewed discussion about whether the island is entering a rare window for possible regime change. Later, Alex is joined by Cole Costello for a wide-ranging conversation covering the surprisingly deep cultural divide between Lowe's and Home Depot, the uniquely miserable experience of cruise ships, and the eternal hope of praying for rain.

Ryan, Dana, and Nathalie Rodriguez discuss warnings tied to a report about possible Cuban drone attacks near Key West as the local sheriff assures the public there is no immediate threat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The farther north you live, the less of the universe you can see. Earth itself blocks the view of a large swath of the southern celestial hemisphere. That’s the half of the sky that’s south of the celestial equator – the projection of Earth’s equator. So those of us in the United States miss out on at least part of the southern sky. One of the treasures we miss is Crux, the southern cross. It’s the smallest of the 88 constellations. But it’s also one of the prettiest and most prominent. Four of its stars are fairly bright, and they do form a shape that looks like a cross. If you include one more star in the pattern – the faintest of the five – the pattern looks more like a kite. It points the way to the south celestial pole. Not surprisingly, that pattern has played a big role in the skylore of many southern-hemisphere cultures. Several saw the cross as the footprint of a big bird. Others saw it as a stingray, the anchor of a giant canoe, or some other prominent object or animal. Today, Crux is featured on the flags of Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil. It’s also on the flag of the European Southern Observatory – which has a great view of the southern cross. From the United States, Crux is barely visible from the Florida Keys, far-southern Texas, and Hawaii. At this time of year, it’s quite low above the southern horizon in early evening – pointing the way to the celestial pole. More about Crux tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

NSP:314 — KillShot, Deep Apnea & the Real Shark Shield Story | Ed Martin Ed Martin is one of those blokes who genuinely can't help himself — after years running a dive shop, guiding charters, and building timber spearguns under the KillShot brand in the Florida Keys, he bought carbon fibre fin company Deep Apnea, got involved in bringing Shark Shield back to market, and watched it all peak and crash at the same time. He's since closed the shop, sold the boat, moved 400 miles north to an 80-acre former turtle farm near Ocala, and is now running two manufacturing businesses out of separate buildings he's literally wiring himself. This episode covers the real Shark Shield story, hard-won business wisdom for anyone thinking about turning their spearfishing passion into a paycheck, and an in-depth breakdown of carbon fibre fin construction — including why "soft, medium, hard" is a terrible way to choose your fins, and what actually matters. If you're a spearo who thinks about gear and business, this one's worth a full listen.

What does it really take to be mentally strong right now?Not in theory. Not in a self-help quote kind of way. But in the real, messy, everyday moments… when your job feels uncertain, your finances feel stretched, and your life doesn't look the way you thought it would.My guest today, Amy Morin, has spent her career helping people answer exactly that question. She's a psychotherapist, mental strength trainer, and host of the Mentally Stronger podcast. You probably know her from her global bestselling series 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, which has sold more than a million copies and been translated into over 50 languages. Her TEDx talk on mental strength has been viewed more than 25 million times. And her newest book, The Mental Strength Playbook, is all about what to do in the moments when you need resilience most—at work, in your finances, and in your life. [Listen to Amy's first visit to So Money]And yes… she's joining us from a sailboat in the Florida Keys.In this conversation, we start there—how she ended up living a life that most people would call unconventional—and what it actually takes, mentally, to make a leap like that. Because as Amy says, you don't have to feel ready. You just have to be willing to act and trust you'll figure it out as you go.From there, we get into the real work:Why so many of us feel burned out right now—and what's actually driving thatHow to do a “life audit” that aligns your time and money with your valuesThe small, practical steps that can help you get unstuck, even when change feels impossibleAnd the mental tools you can use immediately—whether you're facing anxiety at work, a financial setback, or just that constant background worry that won't quitLearn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand.

ON ADVENTURE PODCAST  |  EPISODE 69 Episode 69: No One Was Waiting at the Finish Line with Madison Blagden           Episode Description What would it take to walk 10,000 miles in a single calendar year? Not across a lifetime. Not spread over a decade. One year. Madison Blagden is a long-distance hiker and content creator from Massachusetts who went from a pre-med student with zero backpacking experience to one of the most prolific endurance hikers in the country. After completing the full PCT (2022), the Eastern Continental Trail from Key West to Newfoundland (2023), and the Continental Divide Trail (2024), she did all three Triple Crown trails back to back in 2025, border to border, logging over 10,000 miles in a single calendar year. She documented every step herself through daily YouTube videos, Instagram shorts, and blog posts, all edited on the road. Starting in the Florida Keys in January, she pushed through Hurricane Helene damage on the AT, Sierra snowpack, desert heat, a debilitating hip injury in the White Mountains, and a flash flood that hit her tent in the middle of the night in the desert. The miles are extraordinary. But this conversation goes deeper than the miles. We talk about what happens between the ears when the body wants to quit, the difference between healthy internal ambition and ego-driven achievement, how the most meaningful finish lines are the ones where nobody is waiting for you, what a flash flood teaches you about calm under pressure, the spiritual dimension of pushing past absolute exhaustion, and why you will never be 100 percent ready, and that is not a reason to wait.   Episode Highlights •       00:00  Introduction: Walking 10,000 miles in one calendar year •       02:00  Madison's background: pre-med to PCT with no backpacking experience •       04:00  Van life, COVID, and two years of traveling in a 19-foot RV •       09:00  Comparing the AT, PCT, and CDT: terrain, culture, and difficulty •       14:00  Hurricane Helene's impact on the Appalachian Trail and trail recovery •       19:00  Planning a 10,000-mile year: budget, timing, and keeping it flexible •       24:00  How a 5,600-mile year sparked the idea to go even further •       31:00  Funding the hike through daily content creation on the road •       34:00  Healthy ambition vs. ego-driven achievement •       39:00  Internal motivation: the David Goggins voice and the gentle encouragement •       42:00  37 miles a day for nine weeks: the math behind finishing the CDT before snow •       48:00  Hip injury in the White Mountains and the lesson in letting go •       51:00  Flash flood survival and what it reveals about fight-or-flight •       57:00  Nervous system training and calm under pressure •       01:02:00  Surrendering control: giving it up to the trail and the universe •       01:05:00  Spiritual experiences that emerge only at the edge of physical exhaustion •       01:10:00  Coming off trail softer: how big accomplishments quiet the ego •       01:15:00  Closing encouragement: you will never be 100 percent ready, so go •       01:20:00  The expanding ceiling of human limits and what comes next for Madison   Connect with Madison Blagden Instagram & YouTube: @madisonblagden Website: madisonblagden.com Substack: substack.com/@madisonblagden The Trek: thetrek.co/author/madison-blagden   Connect with the On Adventure Podcast Hosted by Josh Self, financial advisor and everyday explorer. •       Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms •       Follow on Instagram for short-form clips and behind-the-scenes content •       Connect on Facebook: On Adventure Podcast with Josh Self •       Connect on LinkedIn: Josh Self •       If this episode resonated with you, leave a review and share it with someone who needs to hear it

Four stories from the golden age of science fiction — and none of them end where you think they will. A morgue ship drifting through the wreckage of a space war pulls in something extraordinary. A telethink researcher in the Florida Keys gets a warning from the stars — too late. A beer truck driver spends a sleepless weekend with something he accidentally created in his kitchen sink. And on a planet designed to be paradise, a man locked in a back room finishes building something with his hands. Four writers. Four worlds. Four moments when science fiction and horror become the same thing.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: A crashed alien lifeboat brings a deadly predator to a remote Florida key, where a stubborn hermit and a stranded scientist face a creature that even the galaxy's most advanced civilizations fear. It's “Rough Beast” by Roger Dee. *** Winston Marks brings us the story “The Water Eater”. When a weekend cleaning experiment goes strangely right, a curious beer truck driver discovers he's made something that might not want to stay in the soap bucket. *** Colonists achieve their dream of a perfect world without work or worry, - but is it truly the paradise they had hoped for? James McKimmey brings us the tale “Planet of Dreams.” *** A classic from Ray Bradbury entitled “Lazarus Come Forth” where a morgue ship operator searching for his son's body among the war dead discovers a perfectly preserved scientist from three centuries ago — and the terrible secret he carries. *** It's an anthology of science fiction tonight – all stories I narrated for the Auditory Anthology podcast where you can hear them fully produced with music and sound effects if you want the full experience.

Author and podcaster Michael Vadney joins us for a yarn about his debut novel, Crownfall.   Michael Vadney is an American fantasy author and podcaster. Born in the Florida Keys and raised in the woods of Pennsylvania, Michael's love for storytelling began at an early age. His passion for fantasy literature was ignited by classics like "The Hobbit" and "Redwall," inspiring him to create his own worlds filled with complex characters and fantastic magic. In his early-thirties, he rekindled his childhood dream of becoming an author. Balancing a full-time career in software, he dedicated nights, weekends, and many dawns to writing, learning the craft through trial and error, online videos, and the writing community. Through his debut novel Crownfall and the Author Adjacent podcast, Michael explores themes of power, justice, and survival while sharing the challenges and victories of the writing life. His approach to storytelling emphasises complex characters facing impossible choices, intricate world-building that serves the narrative, and themes that resonate with real human experiences, even in fantastical settings.   Michael's website: Michaelvadney.com   Contact the show: thetrueandthefictional@gmail.com Support the show: Buymeacoffee.com/sttatf Buy Merch: Jabryden.printify.me   Follow us on the socials: FB: Facebook.com/storiesthetrueandthefictional IG: @stories_podcast X: @stories_ttatf Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzIXhRcUvPPAzpCL-_a9N4w   Sponsor 1: Rebecca Cassells Buy her books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/.../e/B08WCH6RHG/ X: RACassells_auth IG: Rebecca.cassells.92 FB: Facebook.com/Rebeccacassellsbooks   Sponsor 2: Martin Kearns:  https://www.readkearns.com   IG: @readkearns   Sponsor 3: J.A.

But in Vietnam, they are dealing with one that likes to start fires. (Pyromaniac Poltergeist) *** In 1885 a madman stalked the streets of Austin, Texas, slaughtering women where they slept.

Author Jacob Shelton doesn't think so – and gives us an in-depth essay behind his reasoning.

Road grit meets breast cancer courage in this wild ride from Daytona to Homer that turns one biker into a full‑on breast health champion for his fiance Kathy and uninsured women at The Rose. - Why one long‑distance biker took on the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge to honor his fiancée Kathy and support uninsured women with breast cancer at The Rose. - The brutal, beautiful 11,000‑mile route from Florida through Hurricane Debby, the Keys, the red rocks, Canada, and into Homer, Alaska—and what those miles revealed about people’s kindness. - How a “subset of the biker community nobody hears about” quietly raises over a quarter‑million dollars for charity and reminds us that health, dignity, and access to breast cancer care matter more than anything we own. Please consider sharing this episode, or making a donation at therose.org so more women receive breast cancer screening and care. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered What is the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, and why do riders call it a spiritual challenge instead of just an endurance ride? How did Mike’s 11,000‑mile ride from Daytona to Homer work, and what did it take to earn “elite rider” status in 14 days? What was it like to ride the Florida Keys in the middle of Hurricane Debby on a loaded bike? How did small‑town strangers—like “Swamp Rat” in Georgia and Gayleen in Taos—step in to help exhausted riders and restore Mike’s faith in people? How did turn‑by‑turn paper directions, back roads, bad signage, and constant detours change the way Mike experienced the country and its communities? What kind of preparation, bike choice, and vetting does it take to even get a spot in Hoka Hey, and why is the field limited to about 100 new riders? How did Kathy’s metastatic breast cancer diagnosis push Mike to turn his love of riding into fundraising for The Rose? In what ways did this ride shift Mike’s beliefs about what matters more: money and stuff, or people, health, and community? How did the ride help Mike process anger about healthcare priorities and inspire him to speak out for women facing breast cancer? Why does Mike say it’s “not about the miles, it’s about what’s in those miles,” and how does that connect to living with and caring through breast cancer? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Mike and the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge; Mike explains the event’s purpose, its origin with Jim Red Cloud, and the charity focus for indigenous communities and riders’ chosen causes. 04:45 Earning “elite rider” status, riding 11,017 miles in 14 days, and what it felt like to hit the Homer finish at midnight with his best friend. 07:40 Florida and the Keys in Hurricane Debby: sideways rain, flooded roads, soaked gear, and pushing through when you can’t even use a kickstand. 09:48 Sleeping by the bike, “Swamp Rat” opening the fire station, a Jamaican officer letting him ride on after a red light, and Gayleen in Taos handing out treats and directions. 13:30 Logistics, road confusion, unlabeled highways, extra detours, and the constant puzzle of staying on route while exhausted and chasing time. 17:32 Why Mike rode for Kathy and The Rose: their breast cancer story, her metastatic diagnosis, and turning frustration and helplessness into a fundraiser that reached 27,000 dollars. 21:43 What the journey taught him about people, poverty, food insecurity, generosity, and how stepping away from news and politics reframed what really matters. 23:05 The rules of the ride: American‑made bikes only, relentless back roads, long days in the saddle, sleeping in wet clothes, and learning to read paper directions while riding. 28:30 Dorothy frames Mike’s story as a story of America and of charity: the goodness of strangers, the power of bikers riding for breast cancer care, and why these miles matter for women they’ll never meet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Capt. Nick LaBadie is a Florida native through and through. Raised on the Gulf Coast just minutes from Boca Grande, he grew up fishing one of the most renowned tarpon fisheries in the world. From the time he could hold a rod, he was hooked—spending his childhood on the water and developing a deep-rooted passion for life on the water. After moving to the Florida Keys, Nick quickly became captivated by the technical challenges and endless opportunities of the flats. He poured himself into the art of sight fishing in shallow water, targeting a variety of species with both fly and spinning gear. The precision, patience, and strategy required to consistently succeed on the flats soon became his specialty. Deep down, though, Nick is a permit junkie—and a highly accomplished one at that. His passion for chasing these notoriously challenging fish has translated into tournament success, including winning the IGFA Permit Tournament in 2020 alongside guide Brandon Cyr, the March Merkin in 2024 with angler Rob Dougherty, and the Del Brown Permit Tournament in 2025 with angler Kat Vallilee. These victories reflect not only his dedication to the species, but also his ability to perform at the highest level under pressure. Since 2012, Nick has guided anglers throughout the flats and backcountry waters of Key West and the Lower Keys. From Big Pine Key to the Marquesas Keys, he has spent countless hours exploring and refining techniques that consistently put clients in position for success.

Florida February ends the only way it can: with a party that goes completely off the rails. In this finale episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover a Florida police chase in Seminole County involving Jennifer Kaufman, Jamie Young, and Erin Thomas, who allegedly stole a car while searching for a party — only for one suspect to end up cornered in a pasture by cows. Trevin shares a listener story from A-Line about a chaotic 22nd birthday featuring a party mom, too much alcohol, a bottle of Grey Goose, and a chair-wielding fight with a pseudo-uncle that escalates fast. Before the crimes, Trevin tackles unexpected “man work” with a furnace repair while Amanda visits the University of Kansas (KU) campus for a college basketball game — where a Westboro Baptist Church protest turns into awkward karaoke. The crew also plays Florida trivia, covering the 3,500-year-old bald cypress known as The Senator in Longwood and the history of the Conch Republic, the Florida Keys region that briefly seceded from the United States, declared war, and immediately requested foreign aid. From drug-fueled bad decisions to birthday party brawls, this Florida February Finale proves that if you party in Florida long enough… the cows will come home.

In this episode, my guest is Brian Slusser [32:13], an Orvis endorsed guide based in Truckee, California, who tells us about the nuances of winter streamer fishing. With over 29 years of guiding experience, Brian shares his insights on effective techniques for fishing during the colder months, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the unique conditions of winter. He discusses the significance of dressing appropriately for the cold, the best times to fish, and the types of setups and flies that work best in winter conditions. Brian also highlights the advantages of using streamers over traditional nymphs during this season, providing listeners with practical tips to enhance their winter fishing experience. In the Fly Box this week, we have the following questions form listeners: What time of year should I go to the Florida Keys for tarpon? Do I need to get a warm-water fly line for tarpon? When fighting a tarpon, do I need to point my rod at them when they jump? What do you think of treble hooks for Atlantic salmon in Quebec? What are the crown jewels of your fly rod collection? Which two-handed outfit should I get for swinging flies for smallmouth bass? What is a good but relatively inexpensive reel for my 9-foot 5-weight trout rod? What should I do if I get stuck in deep muck when wading? I saw hundreds of trout in Alaska jumping into the air to catch tiny white flies and I could not catch them. What should I have done? I have a whole bunch of flies but I am relatively new and never know what size I am pulling out of my box. What can I do?
