Send us your Florida questions!

This week, Cathy and Jon talk to Ben Montgomery about Axios Local, journalism, and why the City of Tampa should set aside one day a year where it's legal to camp in any of its parks. It's kind of a wild podcast, so buckle up and tune in.

Ben Montgomery is a journalist and author of four nonfiction books, and he writes a local newsletter for Axios. Twitter: @gangrey.
