Episode description

Our episode begins with Craig's latest Florida Phoenix column on how state Republicans are trying to connect fighting climate change and transitioning to clean energy with the culture wars in order to delay action.

Our guest is Florida woman Deb Rogers, author of the book "Florida Woman." The novel uses the escaped monkeys of Central Florida as a plot device. Rogers researched the monkeys, how they got here, how they escaped, and what is being done to control them.

We welcome new sponsor Windstormproducts.com to the podcast. Windstorm Products is a Florida small business which has become the world's largest online retailer of hurricane hardware.

"Welcome to Florida," as always, is sponsored by Visit Sarasota which has a surprisingly robust mid-century modern architecture history. "Garden & Gun" magazine recently featured Sarasota as an architecture "hotspot" and Architecture Sarasota is a new group working to preserve, interpret and provide tours around that history.
