What happens when two award-winning television veterans trade breaking news for breathtaking discoveries beneath the surface?Former NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders and Destination Dive creator, executive producer and underwater cinematographer Mike Zimmer join me for a fascinating conversation about the new season of Destination Dive on Discovery Channel.Kerry spent more than three decades with NBC News and TODAY, covering some of the biggest stories around the world. Mike's 40-plus-year television career has taken him from NBC photojournalist and producer to President of the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee, environmental advocate and now the creative force behind Destination Dive. Together, they're taking viewers beneath the waters of the Florida Keys… not simply to see what's there, but to discover the stories behind it.This season takes us from coral restoration and 600-million-year-old sponges to invasive lionfish, mangroves, AI-powered fish counts as well as shipwrecks and islands lost to history. Mike also shares the story behind 100 Yards of Hope, born from the environmental legacy work surrounding Super Bowl LIV, and why the corals planted off Key Biscayne continue to grow today.But at its heart, Destination Dive is about something both Kerry and Mike spent their journalism careers searching for: great stories.

Ryan and Nathalie Rodriguez break down the mistrial in the Florida Keys parasailing death case after jurors were unable to reach a verdict against the boat captain charged in the 2022 fatal accident.

In this raw, unpolished conversation, Mark brings back best‑selling author, ultra‑runner, and "billion‑dollar strategist" Dan Waldschmidt for a deep dive into what he calls the "not yet zone" – the liminal hallway between who you were and who you're becoming. They go way past highlight reels and talk honestly about divorce, losing a parent, sleepless nights, and the heavy responsibility of leading people when you feel completely lost yourself. Dan shares what it's really like to step off the stage, go dark on social, buy a near‑bankrupt company, run it for years as CEO, and then hand the keys to someone else so he can face the question, "What's after Edgy?" He unpacks Misogi – choosing a seemingly impossible challenge on purpose and walks through his brutal 100‑mile race in the Florida Keys, where heat, dehydration, and a 7‑mile bridge turned finishing into a full-on spiritual battle. Together, Mark and Dan build a practical playbook for surviving the "in‑between": why you can't trust your 2 a.m. emotions, how movement changes your brain chemistry, where post‑traumatic growth comes from, the power of reaching out instead of isolating, and why small acts of generosity and sharing your story might be the very things that pull you through the forge. If you feel like you're stuck in a long hallway with no doors, this episode will remind you you're not crazy, you're not alone, and you're not done. https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielwaldschmidt/ Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: Mark, Dan & 10+ Years of Friendship Who Dan is, "Edgy Conversations" selling ~700k copies, billion‑dollar strategy work, and why he disappeared from the spotlight to build his own company. 07:10 – The Liminal "Not Yet" Zone & The Long Hallway Defining liminality, the "not yet zone," foggy seasons, and why most of life is spent between what was and what will be. 14:55 – Misogi & Ultra‑Running: Choosing Hard Things on Purpose Dan's 38,000 miles, 200‑mile races, 3,100‑mile goals, Misogi explained, and how his son's first half‑marathon changed his identity. 24:20 – Grief, Fog, and Not Trusting 2 A.M.

“Not everybody needs therapy. I'm a therapist and I'll tell you first.” — Amy Morin Is an epidemic of mental weakness sweeping America? Readers of the Wall Street Journal certainly might think so, given a couple of recent articles. In one, it reports on burnt-out singles who are using spreadsheets to evaluate their dates. In the other, young adults are taking their phones to social events and letting AI do their talking. Sad. So I invited Ms Mental Strength herself, Amy Morin — host of the Mentally Stronger podcast and author of The Mental Strength Playbook — to ask what's happened to American self-confidence in our AI age. Morin sees it daily in her own therapy office with patients relying on ChatGPT to set boundaries with their mothers-in-law. In a world of information overload, she argues, we've come to believe there must be a medical solution to all our complexities — forgetting that relationships are an art, not a science, and that conflict and awkward silences are features of human life rather than bugs. So the dinner-party guests who sneak off with their pocket supercomputers to the bathroom to ask ChatGPT for five “interesting” questions come back with canned questions that make them sound even less interesting. In contrast, Morin argues, real social confidence is built by taking risks. And it's no longer a risk, she suggests, to go to a therapist. It's become the equivalent of slinking into the bathroom with your phone to prompt conversation. Yes, this therapist worries we live in an overly therapeutic culture. Anxiety is normal, Morin says. But ADHD diagnoses and even autism have become a kind of moral passport in America. It's almost as if people should be anxious if they're not anxious. Her prescription is free. Not even the cost of a therapy session. Ask yourself, at the end of every day, what did I do today to grow mentally stronger? It's like going to the gym. Build up your mental strength. Become self-reliant. The standard American fix. That will kick your therapy habit. That will end the epidemic of mental weakness now engulfing the United States. Five Takeaways •       AI Is Doing Our Talking. The Wall Street Journal reports singles running spreadsheets on their dates and young adults letting AI script their conversations in person — and Morin sees the same thing in her therapy office, where clients ask ChatGPT how to set boundaries with their in-laws. The root, she argues, is information overload: because we can look up how to fix a sink, we assume there's a scientific way to reject a suitor or confront a friend. But relationships are an art, not a science. There is supposed to be tension; conflict isn't horrible; real human conversations — with questions, uncertainty, and lulls — are essential. What could be more important than managing your own relationships yourself?•       Avoidance Never Builds Confidence. The dinner-party guest who hides in the bathroom asking ChatGPT for five interesting questions comes out asking canned questions and listening to no one — panicking about what was next on the list. Relying on technology for what makes us insecure, Morin argues, is avoidance dressed as help: skills we don't practice diminish, so the app makes us worse, not better. Nor is the polished online persona sustainable — like fake photos on a dating profile, the eloquence collapses at the second coffee. Connection comes from vulnerability, not perfection: “I really struggle with X” bonds people; the perfect question does not.•       Thirteen Things, Fifty Million Readers. Morin's authority is autobiographical. Her mother died when she was 23; on the third anniversary of that death, her 26-year-old husband died of a heart attack; later her father-in-law received a terminal cancer diagnosis. On one of the worst days of her life she wrote herself a letter — 13 things mentally strong people don't do — and read it over and over. Published online for what she assumed would be five readers, it reached fifty million and became seven books in more than 45 languages. Mental strength, she learned, isn't resilience-as-bracing: it's getting the most out of life on the emotional roller coaster — good times included.•       Not Everybody Needs Therapy. Asked whether we live in an overly therapeutic culture, this therapist says yes. Anxiety is a normal emotion — without it you wouldn't look both ways — but pandemic-era applause for disclosure watered down the difference between sadness and clinical depression, awkwardness and social anxiety disorder. TikTok quizzes hand out ADHD; “burnout” now means tired; autism risks becoming a passport; and self-diagnosis becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. Meanwhile 96 percent of college students say they arrived academically prepared — and most say they arrived emotionally unprepared. As editor-in-chief of Verywell Mind, Morin went undercover on the online-therapy platforms: some therapists were excellent; others gave canned advice that frightened her. And the worried well, she warns, clog the six-month waiting lists the seriously ill cannot afford.•       Your Body Believes What Your Brain Tells It. The Guardian's Emma Beddington recently asked whether Morin's “power phrases” could turn a self-described spineless worm into a go-getter. Answer: yes — walk into a room thinking nobody likes me and your body language obliges; walk in resolved to do your best and it obliges again. Nobody changes their life by sitting on the couch thinking positive — action is required — but thought is the first step. Her daily practice: ask, what did I do today to grow mentally stronger? And the anger all around us? How we treat others reflects how we feel about ourselves — the troll's cruelty is a quick boost for a self he can't stand. Technology, finally, cuts both ways: never has expert advice been this free. Feed your mind well or feed it junk. Up to you. About the Guest Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, mental strength trainer, and internationally bestselling author whose books — including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do — have sold more than a million copies in over 45 languages.

Hour 2 begins with Dave Hyde sharing stories from his lobster-diving trip in the Florida Keys, including a memorable encounter with someone trying to steal his catch. The conversation shifts to Dolphins training camp, where Joe and Dave discuss Jeff Hafley's preference for 11-on-11 work over 7-on-7 drills, early standouts like rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, and why the team remains optimistic about Austin Jackson's health. The guys also react to the Panthers opening as Stanley Cup favorites before turning to the NBA, breaking down LeBron James' fit in Philadelphia, how the 76ers will balance so many ball-dominant scorers, and why they're one of the league's most intriguing teams. The hour wraps with a discussion on the Dolphins' long-term vision, debating whether Miami's recent struggles are more about poor drafting or poor player development, why so many jobs are up for grabs, and why the guys believe Mike McDaniel's leadership style ultimately fell short.

"I always thought she would walk through the door."In late December 1976, a camper was spending time down in the Florida Keys. He was camping in an area known as the rock pit alongside US Route 1 on Grassy Key, a limestone quarry site used by campers and party-goers alike. While there, though, he was approached by a man he later described as a "hippie-type," who offered to show him a decomposing human body for a quarter. The camper declined and called the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.On December 30th, Detective Richard Roth was dispatched to investigate. Following the camper's directions, he makes his way into the heavily wooded area near the rock pit. There, he found bones...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at:Phone: +13052892410 or (305) 289-2410Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

When Benjamin Franklin's Ghost Designed a Machine and the strange story of The Underwater Orchestra. What happens when people become convinced they can build a messiah out of magnets, copper, and electricity? In this episode of *The Box of Oddities, Kat and JG dive into one of the strangest forgotten chapters in American history: the bizarre true story of John Murray Spear's "New Motive Power," an electrical machine that followers believed would be born* rather than switched on. Guided by séances, messages from the spirits of Benjamin Franklin and other historical figures, and a ceremony that mimicked childbirth, Spear attempted to create a living mechanical redeemer decades before robots, computers, or artificial intelligence existed. It's an astonishing tale of Spiritualism, Victorian science, religious belief, and humanity's enduring obsession with creating life. Then the conversation heads beneath the waves to one of the world's most unusual festivals. Every year, divers descend on *Looe Key Reef in the Florida Keys for the Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival*, where ocean-themed music is broadcast underwater while mermaids, pirates, and "fish musicians" celebrate one of North America's most important coral reefs. Beneath the quirky spectacle lies an inspiring story about coral conservation, marine biology, and the creative ways people are fighting to protect one of Earth's most fragile ecosystems. From electrical messiahs and nineteenth-century spiritualists to underwater concerts and living coral cities, this episode explores two extraordinary stories that prove reality is often stranger than fiction.

The subsea technology company DEEP recently reached a significant milestone by installing Vanguard, a sophisticated underwater habitat, on the seafloor of the Florida Keys. This installation represents the first project of its kind in the United States in four decades, signaling a new era of sustained human presence beneath the waves. Positioned at a depth of 56 feet, the vessel acts as a specialized laboratory for marine science, climate research, and ecological restoration efforts. The facility is designed to house a crew of four aquanauts for extended missions, allowing researchers to study coral reef health with unprecedented continuity. Beyond its immediate scientific goals, this pilot project serves as the foundational ocean infrastructure for future large-scale modular habitats. By successfully transitioning from engineering to operation, the mission aims to fundamentally expand human access to the underwater environment.http://atlantisseacolony.com/#DEEP #VanguardHabitat #UnderwaterHabitat #FloridaKeys #Aquanauts #MarineScience #CoralReef #ClimateResearch #EcologicalRestoration #OceanInfrastructure #ModularHabitats #Seafloor #OceanExploration #SustainedPresence #UnderwaterFuture #HumanAccess #OceanColonization

This week, we hear from Jameson and Mary Reeder, authors of Rescue at the Reef. They share the miraculous story of their ten-year-old son, Jameson Jr., who narrowly survived a devastating bull shark attack in the Florida Keys. Despite a life-altering injury, Jameson Jr.’s faith remained unshaken, and just four days later, he asked to return to the reef. Later in the episode, we hear from Greta Eskridge, author and homeschool mom of four, who shares her story of healing after her husband Aaron confessed to an affair and a years-long pornography addiction. While working to heal the damage to their marriage, Greta became convinced that parents must break the silence around this issue and initiate difficult conversations with their kids about pornography.

[My son] hears me scream, “No,” and the first words out of his mouth are, “Daddy, it’s okay. Jesus is going to save me.” - Jameson Reeder “When you face your fear, the fear doesn’t go away, but what you focus on is what rises. Do you focus on the fear or do you focus on your heavenly Father who’s with you in those fearful moments? He’s not abandoned you. He’s with you. And when you focus on your Father over the fear, then freedom rises.” - Jameson Reeder “Cultivating connection isn’t about these singular once-a-year, twice-a-year big moments. It’s everyday intentional time spent with one another.” - Greta Eskridge “We need to have conversations about pornography and the disconnection that it causes.” - Greta Eskridge “Out of that brokenness [of betrayal] has come a desire for both of us to not only cultivate meaningful, intentional, lasting connection as a couple, but also with our children, with friends, because not only have we experienced the disconnection ourselves, but we have recognized that our world is becoming increasingly more disconnected.” - Greta Eskridge “As much as [my husband] wanted to escape addiction, the nature of addiction is that it is very hard to do that on your own, and he needed support.” - Greta Eskridge “Beginning to understand what [my husband] was dealing with was impactful for me to have compassion and understanding for him..Being willing to do that and pursue my own healing as a betrayed spouse at the same time, those two things were transformative, and really, honestly, what changed everything for both of us.” - Greta Eskridge “When we allow ourselves to have that conversation [about pornography] with our kids or with one another, it takes away the power of the thing, and it reduces the shame. Shame tells us this is the end. But when we bring it into the light, it loses its power.” - Greta Eskridge “It’s incredible how much can change just by simply opening the door to honest, heartfelt conversation.” - Greta Eskridge ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

First: Skift's The Big Squeeze Part 2, which spotlights a family in Iowa who let their Wyndham franchise expire, renovated their Super Eight, and beat their old revenue numbers — no flag required. With 1,200+ economy agreements hitting end-of-term by 2030, the off-ramp is more viable than ever. Then: Bass Pro Shops quietly acquiring Cheeca Lodge in the Florida Keys for a reported $300M — a masterclass in brand ecosystem building that's staying firmly in its lane. Finally: Brian Chesky's reported shadow AI lab, what it says about the limits of building inside a public company, and why the chat interface might be the wrong bet entirely. Spice of the week: Edwin on why budget season is the moment to rethink your AI staffing strategy, Scott on hospitality's leadership crisis (not labor crisis), and Zach on why the World Cup turned out to be anything but a non-event.

Dave jokes about wanting to start singing down in the Florida Keys now that he's not at the Sun Sentinel, leading to a lighthearted South Florida food and culture discussion with Joe Rose and Dave Hyde. The guys get into Key Lime Pie and are shocked to learn Jamie has never tried it, sparking some playful ribbing. They also touch on the influence of Cuban food in Miami and why it's such a staple of the city's identity. The segment closes with LeBron James talk, as the guys continue to argue that Miami represents his best chance to win another championship.

As concerns grow over the northward movement of the New World screwworm, one of the most important lessons comes from an outbreak that occurred nearly a decade ago in the Florida Keys. In 2016, the flesh-eating parasite struck the endangered Key deer, threatening one of America's most unique wildlife populations. What followed was a remarkable response involving wildlife biologists, veterinarians, entomologists, and conservation agencies working together to stop the outbreak before it spread further. The outbreak ultimately killed roughly 15% of the Key deer population, but it was successfully contained and eradicated through an intensive, coordinated effort. In this episode of Dark Outdoors, host Chester Moore talks with Dr. Roel Lopez, Director of the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute and one of the scientists who worked on the Key deer screwworm response. Dr. Lopez shares what happened on the ground during the crisis, how researchers monitored the endangered deer herd, what was learned from the outbreak, and why those lessons remain relevant as wildlife and livestock managers prepare for today's screwworm challenges. This is the story of an endangered deer, a devastating parasite, and a conservation effort that offers valuable insight into one of the most important wildlife health issues facing North America today.

A skate career doesn't always look like a sponsor check. Sometimes it looks like sleeping on floors, writing your first press release, herding a van full of strong personalities, and still showing up because you believe the scene matters. Ryan King is one of the behind the scenes builders who helped make Jacksonville skateboarding feel alive, starting with his jump from Pensacola to UNF and straight into the Flatline years. We talk about how a simple internship turns into real responsibility, what it took to pull off a sold out video premiere, and why local brands and local shops shape skaters more than any algorithm ever will. Then the conversation turns personal. Ryan opens up about his son Sturgil's juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), a rare autoimmune disease that can hit out of nowhere and steal a kid's ability to walk. We get into the fear of early misreads, the fight to find the right specialists, the reality of treatment, and what it means to ride the roller coaster of remission and flare ups. It's heavy, but it's also hopeful, especially when you hear how the skateboard community rallies and how skating becomes a source of strength for their whole family. We also get into the stories that define an era: the legendary first Go Skateboarding Day in Jacksonville that went from positive news coverage to helicopters and chaos, plus tour life memories from New York to the Florida Keys. Finally, Ryan breaks down his move into action sports marketing at Red Bull as a field marketing manager and the process of pitching original events, including creating Red Bull Mind The Gap, a contest concept that's still running years after he stepped away. If you care about skateboarding culture, community building, and doing creative work without losing the fun, this one's for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who grew up skating, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of skateboarding has helped you most outside of skating itself?

South Florida's dining landscape is the product of decades of immigration. Cuban, Haitian, Colombian, Venezuelan, and dozens of other communities have each added a layer to a food culture that is continuously evolving—and few people are better equipped to make sense of it than someone who grew up eating his way through it. In this episode, host Angie Orth sits down with Fort Lauderdale native Ryan Pfeffer, Senior Editor at The Infatuation, where he oversees restaurant coverage across South Florida. 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!

Jameson Reeder is a shark attack survivor who was bitten while snorkeling in waist-deep water at a sandbar in the Florida Keys. After five years of living in the Florida Keys with his wife, a perfect day on the water turned into a life-threatening emergency when a shark grabbed his leg. In this powerful episode, Jameson reveals the immediate moments of the attack, the extensive emergency medical treatment and multiple surgeries that followed, and the long road to physical and mental recovery. What's most remarkable is his perspective: despite the trauma, he maintains deep respect for sharks and has become an advocate for ocean safety awareness and marine conservation.

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. She also holds the 4-pound, 6-pound, and 8-pound permit world records, further cementing her place among the sport's elite anglers. In this episode, Nathaniel dives into misconceptions about casting, shares valuable advice for both new anglers and aspiring guides, discusses the current state of the fishery, and answers listener questions. He also reveals details about his upcoming online casting school, the Linville Casting Academy (LCA), which is scheduled to launch later this fall. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Send us Fan MailThe Florida Keys Overseas Highway is a living corridor of reefs, bridges, history, and local tradition. We sit down with journalist and photographer Andy Newman, who spent 44 years with the Florida Keys Tourism Council, to build a true start-to-finish Florida Keys road trip.We talk logistics: how long the drive takes, why the mile markers function like addresses, and when you can get away without hotel reservations. From there, we trace the story behind the islands themselves: Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad, the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, and how the modern highway opened the Keys to a different kind of traveler.Then we start the itinerary. Key Largo brings John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Christ of the Deep, plus smart reminders about the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and boating responsibly around shallow, sensitive habitat. Islamorada delivers sport fishing culture, the History of Diving Museum, and the simple joy of hand-feeding tarpon. Marathon adds the Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium Encounters, the Turtle Hospital, and a walk into history on Pigeon Key.

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. Two of them never left. What investigators found in that house — and what they would learn about Charlie's past — would unravel a secret the Brandt family had kept for more than thirty years, and reopen cold cases across South Florida that had been waiting for an answer.

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

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.
