Send us your Florida questions!

Today we welcome Brad Bertelli, curator of the Keys History and Discovery Center in Islamorada, Florida. This Keys historian talks about piracy in the Florida Keys – or lack thereof, we touch on the only ghost island in the Keys, and tell you about a forthcoming book about the Skunk Ape (#Believe.)
