    Meet a snake charmer, breaking down the Surfside report, game over for PlayStation, dog beach

    It’s time for the Florida Python Challenge, when novices and pros traipse the Everglades to hunt for the invasive species in the name of conservation. We’ve got last year’s winner to talk about what goes on during the event. Plus, a new report is out on the Surfside condo building collapse. Hear more from someone who inspected the building before it fell. We also have news about the future of video games and a look at a floating food truck — or is it a food boat?

    Flood-fix rainchecks, targeting spiked drinks, red-faced over a red card, teen game-changers

    Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed $810 million from the state budget. A large portion of that involved water infrastructure and flood mitigation projects. How will that decision affect Florida residents? Then, what if you could detect a rape-date drug in your drink using jewelry? A USF graduate student is joining forces with a former beach volleyball teammate to make it happen. Also, the U.S. team was eliminated, but there are still aftershocks about President Trump’s connection to FIFA’s suspension of a red card suspension before the team’s final game. To close, a pretty cool project by teens to keep peers away from “teen takeovers.” Website: https://www.wusf.orgSign up for our daily newsletter: https://www.wusf.org/wakeupcall-newsletterFollow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3

    PTSA bridges a gap, a ‘woods to table’ chef, TPS ruling aftermath, tapping into dance

    Public transportation is a big problem in the area. Inconsistent funding among the counties, no light rail and reduced services have made it source of contention, but the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority is trying to make it a little easier across Tampa Bay. Then, a local chef talks about his time on a deserted island for a spinoff of the Food Network’s “Chopped” series. Also, a member of the local Haitian community discusses the end of Temporary Protected Status. Finally, we’ll take a spin around the Tampa Bay Tap Festival. Hint: It’s not about craft beer.

    Inflation and foster care, earthquake update, new angle on property taxes, NIL hope and water

    As prices rise, the math of living just isn’t adding up for many Florida families. Now comes word of a connection between housing costs and foster children being kept from their parents. Also on the show: how the November vote on property taxes cuts could affect renters, an update from a local woman in Venezuela during last month’s earthquakes, and a USF football player talks about his project to help Nigerian villages.

    America at 250: Reflecting on fractured unity, having a blast (safely), speaking in tongs

    Happy semi-quincentennial. If your plans include lighting 250 candles — or fireworks just as bright — we have some safety tips. But first, a roundtable reflection on all that has happened to get America to this point. Things could be worse, but there’s no question we live in a fractured period politically and culturally. Hence, not everyone is celebrating this weekend. Is America at a turning point? Where does Florida fit in? What’s in the future? Finally, we get up in your grill.

    Feeling the heat over ICE, Fluori-da a year later, it’s like a sauna out here, hail to the chef

    Florida has embraced the Trump administration’s aggressive stance on immigration enforcement. But what happens when residents push back and ask local elected leaders to take a stand against it? A reporter who’s been covering the issue will discuss how some officials are caught in the middle of the 287(g) pledges by police departments. Also, it’s been a year since the state stopped adding fluoride to drinking water. Is the change affecting our dental hygiene? Plus, an update on the heat dome scorching much of the country, and a taste of Tampa at the James Beard Awards.

    The Supreme Court's say on birthright citizenship; TPS and morality; DeSantis' budget vetoes

    President Donald Trump had issued an executive order that said children born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed. In a momentous decision, the justices relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War in 1868. In other Tuesday rulings, the court upheld laws in roughly half the states that prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on their public school and college sport teams and struck down limits on party spending in federal elections. A panel of legal experts joins the show to help explain what the decisions mean for Florida. Also, more on the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling last week that allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for more than 250,000 Haitians and Syrians in the country. Plus, what did the Tampa Bay area gain or lose in Gov. DeSantis’ final budget — and line vetoes?

Well, more than a few. There are 140. Also, Gov. Ron DeSantis was in Tampa to sign the state budget for the coming fiscal year. Keep your calculator nearby.
