    Episode 42: Power Grab w/ Kartik Krishnaiyer

    Friend of the show and Florida historian Kartik Krishnaiyer makes his return to the show to talk about Florida Republicans' gerrymandering power grab. We already knew the GOP were rigging districts to benefit their own party, but Kartik breaks it down further and shows how Republicans from rural areas are attacking the very concept of having urban voters represented in government. Kartik and Ryan explore how gerrymandering combined with urban planning can influence not just the state's political landscape, but its community life. You can keep in touch with Kartik at the Florida History Podcast and the Florida Squeeze.

    Episode 41: Double Trouble w/ Alexandra Glorioso and Lawrence Mower

    Spring has sprung, and love is in the air. This week, we welcomed the iconic duo of Lawrence Mower with the Tampa Bay Times and Alexandra Glorioso of the Miami Herald to the show. They were gracious enough to take our call live from their car, and on their anniversary no less! As the saying goes, the couple that reports together stays together. The all-star duo has been at the forefront of the ongoing Hope Florida scandal. Millions of Medicaid dollars were allegedly misused for a taxpayer-funded propaganda campaign against popular citizen-led amendments in 2024 to legalize marijuana and limit government interference with abortion. On top of that, we talk about Florida's new anti-free speech law that gives the governor the power to designate groups as "domestic terrorists." No way that could ever be abused!

    Episode 40: Public Futilities w/ Bryan Eastman

    On today's episode, Gainesville City Commissioner Bryan Eastman makes his Trop Dep debut! You already know Ryan's itching to talk to the Commish about the state hijacking the city's public utilities -- but did you know Republicans are also trying to carve out a district in ocean blue G-Ville for themselves? Along the way, we talk about what makes Gainesville a truly unique city in Florida, and how the nationalization of local politics has made everyone worse off.

    Episode 37: Bamboleo w/ Windy March

    Veteran journalist William 'Windy' March joins the show and gives a short history of the year that Tampa's annual pirate-themed Gasparilla was canceled rather than admit Black members into its fold. While the ill-fated Bamboleo ended up being a one-hit wonder, its memory lives on. Windy and Ryan also talk about the rise of nonprofit journalism, as well as Florida Republicans' half-baked idea to abolish property taxes and starve local governments of funding. You can check out some of Windy's work at the Florida Trident. Follow Tropical Depression on all social platforms at @TropDepPod!  Fan of the show? ⁠⁠Support Tropical Depression on Patreon!
