 ​“What's funny is, people are talking about these movies being woke, but it's literally just what superheroes are supposed to be about — kindness, empathy, and protecting people that can't be protected. ” “These are times where we are told that you can't afford to look out for more than yourself — And to stand amidst that — to care about somebody even if it doesn't have some immediate benefit to me? Yeah, that's punk rock.” In a world spinning faster than a speeding bullet — where doomscrolls rain like cosmic rays, truth is stretched, accountability is turning invisible, everything is on fire, and our foundation is becoming rocky — maybe what we need isn't just another (super)hero — but a reminder of what everyday, real heroism looks like. This week we're talking about SUPERMAN + THE FANTASTIC FOUR - not one, but two summer movies appropriate for the time we're living in. At first glance, it might feel like another studio cash grab — but these movies arrived right on time, reminding us of the power of hope, kindness, and the audacity to care in a world that tells us not to. “It's clobberin' time!” is more than just a tagline; it's a call to stand together and fight the good fight, together.  So we gathered a couple of our favorite superhero sons of Cincinnati — Stefan K. James and Karl Preissner — longtime friends, early podcast guests (#11 + #12). Karl Preissner a longtime friend, allyship expert, and person who dances like no one is watching. And Stefan James is arguably my favorite Jamaican- Chinese- midwestern- Floridian father and business dude to nerd out on all things fiction and non-fiction. Both are gents who i don't spend enough time talking to. They both joined to talk through their thoughts, feelings, and anxieties of the moment we're in, and reflect on how these films can show us a better way forward. After all punk rock, and rebellions, are built on hope.  MENTIONS EGOT:.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGOT COMIC: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (Ryan North, Erica Henderson) goodreads.com/book/show/23732096-the-unbeatable-squirrel-girl-vol-1 FILM: Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow):.imdb.com/title/tt1790885 FILM: A Hidden Life (Terence Malik) -.imdb.com/title/tt5827916 SHOW: Andor (Tony Gilroy, Disney+):.imdb.com/title/tt9253284 COMIC: Invincible (Robert Kirkman) -.goodreads.com/series/66423-invincible BOOK: The Ministry for the Future (Kim Stanley Robinson) -.goodreads.com/book/show/50998056-the-ministry-for-the-future KIDS BOOK: Why?

How tough is BMW's GS Trophy, the one-make, one-model competition that pits skilled amateur riders from across the globe against each other? We talk to team USA's Scott Acheson, who competed in Namibia in the most recent competition. Here's a spoiler: Namibian sand, Scott tells Neil Graham, is not like Floridian sand. Would Scott do it again? Absolutely. Would he prepare for it differently? Absolutely.

Many in the public eye have taken to speaking without saying much in this modern media age, but not Billy Horschel. The 38-year-old Floridian has gathered some wisdom and perspective on both life and the game in his 16-year professional career and he's not afraid to share what he's learnt. Forthright and thoughtful, Horschel gives his take on everything from the LIV Golf/PGA Tour divide, to why he thinks young American golfers should consider starting their careers in Europe. It's a compelling chat with John Huggan, which is as revealing as it is entertaining.

This week, Daniel welcomes special guest co-host Darwin (Rodan's husband) for a fresh take on the show's signature blend of candid conversation and quirky humor. Daniel opens by officially “retiring” the running segment, poking fun at its repetitiveness—though listeners still get a peek into the realities (and tedium) of marathon training. The two share tips for making long runs less boring, swapping podcast and audiobook recommendations and commiserating over the struggle to stay entertained on the trail.Their conversation quickly veers into geek territory: tech podcast habits, the pain of inconsistent keyboard layouts for programmers, and the search for the perfect “candy-colored” office setup. There's plenty of Floridian flavor as Daniel reminisces about growing up near Disney and his old lake house, while Darwin reveals he never even knew Disney parks existed until adulthood. The duo share warm family stories, local nostalgia, and the weird rules for adopting as a same-sex couple in Florida.Banter is in full force throughout, with recurring jokes about Darwin's “butch voice,” their preferences for home temperature, and the ongoing hunt for the ideal cannabis gummy (spoiler: lavender is NOT a fruit). As always, the episode is loaded with inside jokes, Pride 48 shout-outs, Disney trivia, and genuine friendship. It's The Gay Mix at its best: heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply relatable for anyone who loves a good queer chat.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice: 707-613-3284

Every week we get closer and closer to buying the Nerd Talk+ blimp - obviously Gravy isn't allowed on it. Like a dirigible without a rudder, we once again try to keep the show going without Branden. One of us went full Florida driver and it's not the Floridian, we imagine the fragrance of the most expensive cheese, and ask the question: is the beard the male BBL? Well then. Thank you for all your fun banter via all our channels that you can find at nerdtalkplus.com

In this episode, Brett Cyphers sits down with Temperince Morgan, a fourth-generation Floridian who brings both personal roots and professional expertise to Florida's most pressing environmental issues. Temperince shares her story, beginning with her upbringing alongside a father with deep roots in ranching. Raised in Jacksonville and spending time with family in Lake Okeechobee, her love for nature was shaped by family trips around Florida. Her childhood was deeply connected to water and land—where cattle ranches, the St. Johns River, and Florida's state parks sparked a lasting bond with the landscape and laid the foundation for a career dedicated to its restoration and protection. She walks Brett through her time as a biology major at Florida State University and how that led to a career in environmental science. The conversation explores her roles at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District, where she helped lead early efforts in Everglades restoration. Now, as Executive Director of The Nature Conservancy's Southern U.S. Division, she oversees large-scale environmental strategy across 10 states. They also dive into projects close to her, like the Pensacola East Bay Oyster Project. Rich in personal insight and professional depth, this episode offers an intimate look at one of Florida's most respected environmental leaders—and what it takes to protect the state's natural future.

This week on Toilet Radio: We're launching a new series in which we discuss one subgenre in heavy metal at a time. This series is about taking a single genre and discussing all the things we like about it. It's a wildly different approach for us. We're talking about the history and highlights of DEATH METAL in this very first edition. Where did it come from? Where did it go? Where did it come from, Death Metal, Joe? We're talking about thrash origins to a Floridian bloom, UK proliferation, and Swedish perfection in this compact lil primer on the genre you all know and love. We pick out a handful of songs that we think best illustrate the dimensions of death metal and discuss what these bands all did to inspire a legion of other bands and sub-sub genres in their wake. Folks, it's a good one. Just a heads up, this episode is TOO HOT for standard platforms. You can listen to a stripped-down version here or on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts BUT if you want to listen to the full, uncut version you'll need to check out the Toilet ov Hell Patreon page.

In Chambers v. Florida and the Criminal Justice Revolution, historian and former ABA Journal reporter Richard Brust lifts the veil on a case that laid the groundwork for some much more famous civil rights victories. On May 13, 1933, shopkeeper Robert Darsey was robbed and murdered in Pompano, Florida. Four Black migrant farm workers—Izell Chambers, Walter Woodard, Jack Williamson and Charlie Davis—were seized and pressured by the local sheriff into confessing to the murder under threat of lynching. Their appeals eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court through the efforts of some dedicated African American attorneys, and succeeded in 1940. In Justice Hugo Black's written opinion for the majority, the justice drew parallels between the Jim Crow regime in the American South and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism in Europe. Chambers v. Florida forbade the use of psychological coercion—such as threatening to turn prisoners over to lynch mobs—as well as physical abuse to extract confessions. The court's ruling declared that the protections of the Bill of Rights extended into states' criminal cases, and began to change the kinds of cases that made it onto the Supreme Court docket.Brust sees it as part of a trio of cases, which includes Moore v. Dempsey (1923) and Brown v. Mississippi (1936), that led to a “criminal procedure revolution,” he tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles. In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Brust discusses the lawyers who worked on the case, most prominently Simuel D. McGill, a Black attorney in Jacksonville. He delves into the generational differences between the Floridian defense lawyers and the attorneys of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund who would go on to win key civil rights battles. He explains why Justice Black would have been considered an unlikely author for this opinion. And he shares what he could discover about the fates of Chambers, Woodard, Williamson and Davis after the trial.

Send us a textThe Award-Winning Story of Illegal Drugs and Famous Baseball Stars On DVD and Digital Platforms on June 4, 2019"Another masterpiece of wild and woolly Floridiana from Florida's documentarian laureate." - Vincent Mancini, FILMDRUNKSome of the biggest U.S. sports stars come under harsh scrutiny in the eye-opening - and queasily funny -  SCREWBALL , which reveals the real story behind baseball's notorious drug scandal. The film, by award-winning documentarian Billy Corben, will be released on Greenwich Entertainment DVD and digital platforms on June 4, 2019.Recounting the high-profile doping scandal that rocked Major League Baseball, director Billy Corben (Cocaine Cowboys, Magic City Hustle) takes us into the surreal Miami underworld that provided performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and other star players.They say South Florida is a sunny place for shady people and this is certainly true of steroid peddler Anthony Bosch and his most notorious client, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. While Bosch's medical credentials may be lacking, his storytelling skills are first-rate as he hilariously details the rise and fall of his "health clinic," including mob connections, financial chicanery, his cocaine habit and Rodriguez's eccentric behavior.The documentary plays like a madcap Floridian crime comedy in the vein of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen and the Coen Brothers while it raises serious questions about the ethics of professional sports. Powerful interests would be happy to let this story slip from memory, but SCREWBALL makes it unforgettable.(From 6-4-19)

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys welcomed Justin from Jacksonville to talk about his first trip to Edmonton, the Oilers' wins in Games 2 & 3, what the boys need to do in Game 4, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by welcoming Justin from Jacksonville to the podcast and discussing how a guy from Florida became an Oilers fan despite two teams being in his backyard. Starting in the 2018-19 season, Justin wanted to commit to an NHL team but didn't want to jump on a bandwagon, so he landed on the Oilers after working through some internal metrics that made sense.Diving into his first trip to Edmonton, Justin talked about how he ended up in the city earlier than expected because Jay promised him a ticket for Game 3 if he could get in on time. After changing his flights to get in a night early, Justin soaked up as much of Edmonton as he could with only a handful of hours before his first experience at Rogers Place. Getting into the game itself, Justin talked about how incredible the experience was to be at Rogers Place during the playoffs after watching it on TV for so many years.Looking at the game itself, the boys discussed the Oilers' unbelievable Game 3 result and how it was actually the Stars' best game of the series despite losing by five goals. Starting with Stuart Skinner's brilliance between the pipes, the goalie gave the Oilers a chance to win despite being shelled through most of the second period. From a Stars perspective, how can they not be gripping the stick right now with the way they're being stonewalled at every turn.Finally, Justin wrapped up his time on the podcast by giving the boys some gifts that he carried with him all the way from Jacksonville. From a collection of Floridian beers to some spirits from a local distillery to a corduroy hat that Jay has been wanting, the generosity was overwhelming and certainly appreciated.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comFeb. 22, 1998 Gene "Chip" Tatum was a Vietnam Special Forces Air Combat Controller, Defense Intelligence Asset, and US Army special operations pilot flying classified missions during the US invasion of Grenada, Tatum was also involved in the Nixon Administrations relations with China, NASA's Apollo Program, the Iran Contra Affair, and several other classified intelligence operations dating through 1992 . Tatum was a member of the ultra-secret, international G7 run Pegasus "Hit Team" working directly for the sitting President. From sensitive and highly secret - and hitherto largely unknown - Special Forces covert operations in Cambodia, to wandering CIA asset, through to "black ops" activities in Grenada and Oliver North's Iran-Contra "Enterprise," and on to membership in an international "hit team," Gene "Chip" Tatum has seen it all, done it all and is now telling it all. Tatum knows where the skeletons are buried. Above all he is aware that his testimony implicates serving and former US Presidents, plus a whole list of high government officials, and others, in a welter of nefarious activities - including assassination, blackmail, coercion, gun-running, money-laundering and Cocaine trafficking. Tatum, a lanky Floridian, turned whistle-blower following his arrest on a treason charge in 1995. The charge was both astonishing and patently ludicrous and resulted in a flurry of press interest with an article appearing in the Tampa Tribune on 4 May 1996. Incredibly, the charge was later dropped to be replaced by a fraud charge - a drastic step-down. Found guilty after his government appointed attorney refused to call any defense witnesses, he was sentenced to serve a 15-month sentence. www.chiptatum.com Theodore L.

Seth Carswell has a passion for custom design, craftsmanship, and legacy. As Florida's only custom boot maker, Seth's artistry, traditional technique, and commitment to detail are evident in every stitch of his boots. As a 3rd generation Floridian, his family background lies in timber production and he spent much of his younger years involved in that business or on the water, before turning to his passion for blending form, function, and legacy in leather goods.  Nothing demonstrates this concept more than his alligator boots.  Managing alligator populations through hunting programs on both public and private lands is an integral part of conservation here in the Sunshine State and Seth indirectly plays a small role in all this by crafting the tanned gator skins into beautiful boots that reflect his love of Florida. Join us in this conversation as we learn more about Seth's family the origins and future plans for Florida Boot Company.

Jake Holehouse, CEO of HH Insurance Group, joins host Owen LaFave for a deep dive into a topic relevant to every Floridian: the cost of insurance in our wonderful but weather-prone state. Yes, Florida has experienced insurance challenges in recent years–especially when it comes to property, auto, flood, and marine insurance–but as Jake says, “It doesn't have to be expensive in Florida.” This informative discussion starts with the impact of 2022 legislative reforms on stabilizing insurance rates, and why consumers may not see immediate reductions due to rising construction costs–even though the market is in a better position and continues to improve. In the meantime, Jake shares practical strategies home and business owners can use to reduce their premiums and mitigate expenses. He also explains the limitations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the unique vulnerabilities experienced by businesses in flood-prone areas. Finally, Jake and Owen look to the future with the rise of Insurtech–the use of AI and other technology–and consider reasons to feel optimistic about the state of insurance in Florida.   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

Republicans and their cheering fans in Con Inc. media are a bunch of listless vessels with no ideological direction on most issues. The one shining exception is the gun rights movement. We're joined today by Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, for a presentation on where things stand with gun rights both federally and in the states. Valdes celebrates numerous policy and legal successes of GOA, but also warns that there is more to be done. The gaping hole in gun rights is the gun-free zones. As a Floridian, he discusses the lessons of the FSU campus shooter and how RINOs in Florida support gun control without campaigning on it. Also, as a former police officer, Valdes is passionate about the need to treat civilians and police equally. He confronts some of the arguments from police organizations in support of various gun control laws. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The gals are back with another episode of PMF, and this week, we're serving up giggles, unsolicited opinions, and having at least one existential crisis. We kick things off by dissecting iPad kids—are they the future, or overstimulated monsters raised by YouTube autoplay?

But wait, there's more! Are all NYC influencers truly the same person in a different font? We break it all down, from the algorithm's eerie mind control to the dystopian content pipeline we can't stop consuming.So grab your snacks, settle in, and join the spiral. It's gonna be a ride.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas was always referred to as a journalist, an author, and an environmentalist… but she was also a Floridian

Florida property taxes could drop to 0%. As the state struggles with some of the lowest affordability in the country, with home insurance almost doubling in five years and home prices increasing by more than 50% compared to pre-pandemic pricing, Floridian homeowners have seen their housing costs explode. So, what if they could save thousands of dollars a year by ditching property taxes? If Florida makes it work, this could open up the floodgates for many other states to pass similar bills. But WILL it work? A significant amount of Florida's tax revenue comes from property taxes, so will they be efficient enough to work with a tighter budget, or will infrastructure break down due to the massive loss in government funding? And, if property taxes are eliminated, boosting affordability, could buyer demand surge as well? We ran the numbers, and the potential savings on housing costs are substantial. If Florida proves a successful 0% property tax test case, other states (including yours) could be next. In This Episode We Cover Florida's new legislative push to abolish or reduce property taxes for homeowners How much homeowners would save every month if their property taxes were eliminated Can Florida afford to ban property taxes, and which services would be compromised if they did? States that are most likely to eliminate property taxes if Florida succeeds Serious side effects of eliminating property taxes and who pays the price And So Much More!
