In February, responders in Florida successfully rescued a 7-foot, 400-pound manatee that had wiggled his way up a concrete pipe and became trapped in a stormwater drain under the road. The unusual rescue made international headlines, but it was all in a day's work for Brandi Phillips, the animal technical rescue specialist who helped lead the effort to extract Melby the manatee. Phillips joins us on today's episode to chat about how the unique incident unfolded, the challenges of rescuing trapped animals, and what resources, including NFPA standards, are available to help guide agencies as they prepare for and respond to these sometimes tricky incidents.  LINKS Learn more about NFPA 2500, Standard for Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents and Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services.

Long form journalism and deep dive investigative reporting on local issues have historically been the domain of local newspapers. But as newsrooms have shrunk, gaps have been created — and a new model for local journalism has emerged in response: nonprofit newsrooms, mostly comprised of reporters who once worked for newspapers and other forms of commercial media. We meet the Executive Editor-in Chief of Suncoast Searchlight which focuses on Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto Counties to get a sense of their origin story and mission — and reflect on the state of local news that's led to the rise of these online, nonprofit news organizations.

Seeking Rents, the SubStack focused on state-level politics in Florida, which is mentioned in the show, can be found at https://jasongarcia.substack.com/.

A full on courtroom breaks out on the show when allegations surface that coworker Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle coached his kid's flag football team… as the Eagles… while wearing Kelly green. Sean serves as prosecutor and lays out the case for why a real Giants fan should refuse the Eagles assignment, rename the team, and never chant “Go Eagles” under any circumstances. Big Mac storms in to defend himself, arguing it was a league issued NFL Play 60 shirt, not real fandom, and that being a good dad matters more than jersey politics. The debate escalates into fantasy football hypocrisy, coaching fashion solutions, and Tiki delivering the final verdict: guilty. Evan agrees, says he would never wear the rival gear himself, and Big Mac leaves branded with the scarlet letter of a convicted sports fan manatee whenever he steps into their territory.

As 2025 winds down, Michael Rogers, director of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center (CREC), took time to recognize Chris Oswalt during the December All In For Citrus podcast. Oswalt is retiring from his post as a citrus Extension agent, which he's held for nearly 30 years. He served Polk and Hillsborough counties. “I quickly got connected with Chris when I first came to CREC in 2004,” Rogers said. “He was a big help to me, especially earlier in my career. He has helped get many new faculty pointed in the right direction when they come on board. He is down to earth and grounded in reality, and growers trust him because of that. We wish him well in retirement.” Rogers also took the occasion to remind growers to engage with the citrus agents in Florida because they can be a valuable resource. Find your citrus agent here. “If you've not had an agent out to your operation, invite them to come out,” Rogers said. “Get them involved and visiting you in the field. It will help the agents develop their programs and serve you better.” One of the citrus agents, Edwin Gutierrez, also joins the podcast to discuss ways to prepare groves for winter and potential freeze events. He covers DeSoto, Hardee and Manatee counties. Some of his key points include making sure trees are as healthy as possible going into winter because a healthy tree will withstand a freeze better. He also advises growers to check their irrigation systems regularly to ensure they are operating properly. Irrigation is the main line of defense to protect trees during a freeze. Muhammad Shahid, UF/IFAS assistant professor at the North Florida Research and Education Center, addresses winter preparations for the cold-hardy region. Freezes are far more regular occurrences in that area. Shahid discusses his research with silicon, which appears to boost citrus trees' resistance to freezes. He also tells how a new mandarin variety, nicknamed Greenie, may have found a home in the cold-hardy region.   The podcast is partnership between UF/IFAS and AgNet Media.

Featuring: Dave Kalin https://davidekalin.com/Show Description:In this explosive episode of Steel News, Ann Vandersteel interviews Dave Kalin, former Charlotte County GOP Chair and one-time candidate for Supervisor of Elections in Charlotte County, Florida. Kalin exposes what he calls a systematic purge of America First leadership across Florida, orchestrated by the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) itself.After transforming his local REC into a model of community engagement and election-transparency, Kalin was abruptly terminated by the state party — even after he attempted to resign honorably. His story mirrors what's happening in counties across Florida, from Manatee to Broward, where local constitutional conservatives are being removed, silenced, or replaced.With new clarity on his candidacy status — Kalin ran in the 2024 cycle and has not yet qualified for the 2026 cycle — the issue becomes: is the RPOF betraying its grassroots base and violating its own charter? Or is this part of a deeper effort to undermine election integrity and control Florida's political future from the top down?Ann and Dave cut through the noise to reveal who's behind these moves, whether they're legal, and what Floridians can do right now to reclaim their Republican Party and safeguard our elections.Follow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax: https://pickax.com/annvandersteel Presented in partnership with: American Made Foundation & American Made Actionhttps://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgFollow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comSPONSORS:GOLD & SILVER IRA'S – IT'S A “GOLDEN AGE” – President TrumpAUGUSTA PRECIOUS METALS call 1-888-782-9064If you have $50,000 or more saved for retirement, call 1-888-782-9064 and secure your free guide to gold IRAs from Augusta Precious Metals.https://learn.augustapreciousmetals.com/vandersteel/?apmtrkr_cid=1696&aff_id=4013&apmtrkr_cph=888-782-9064HEALTHY FOOD & BEAUTYSUPERFOODS https://VandersteelHealth.comReady to save big on your superfoods purchase?
