Ryan sat down for a conversation with St. Petersburg City Council Member Richie Floyd, just as polls were closing in Tampa local elections.

We talked Tallahassee and Tampa Bay, what it's like serving as a progressive local councilman under Ron DeSantis' "Free State of Florida" regime, and why there ain't no power like the power of people.

Happy Memorial Day, and thanks for listening.

A bonus crossover episode for you guys, with Ryan appearing on Miami/New York-based Why Are We Like This? Emphasis on based.

Many thanks to the WAWLT boys, David Quiñones, Gerald Doherty, and former way-back OG Tropical Depression guest Thomas Kennedy.

Sorry for the delay, in a very Florida turn of events, and unexpected tornado touched down in rural North Florida, between our dedicated editing and mixing staff and our intrepid reporter Ryan.

Produced by Daniel Moran

Teaser for our next episode, an interview with Lauren Brenzel - Statewide Director of Organizing, Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates Inc.

Florida Times-Union Metro columnist Nate Monroe talks State Capitol craziness, Gov. DeSantis' I-10 connections, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity in Jacksonville: a real choice for Mayor.

We also break down "the Syndicate" — the Downtown donor class at the scene of every crime against the public interest in Duuuval.

Big thanks to Nate for coming on, and thank you for listening.
