The Florida History Podcast

Fifth generation Florida native here, family’s from Bartow and Wauchula . Content is great. The guys have good radio voices and you’ll notice they actually sort of apologize when they raise an absurdly unpopular notion like gender curriculum in kindergarten. I think they are more like the old Democrats who (don’t stone me!) really weren’t that bad. My grandmama was one. It’s the Jimmy Carter type democrat. I think they are as annoyed with all the CRT and climate “mania” as everyone else but they have to toe the line for the liberal police from Tally and S Fla. these guys are good, give ‘em a chance!

The content is incredible because it is difficult to find the detailed Florida history anywhere else. It is clear that Kartik spends a lot of time on research. However, often in his episodes I can hear him typing and doing other things while the guest speaker is talking. I am appalled that he would do this while someone is speaking because it appears by him working on something else, he is not listening. Additionally, he should not be publishing the episode if other background sounds are heard. Please Kartik--- listen to the noises you are making BEFORE publishing. It would make your podcast far more professional. Thank you for all of your hard work on the content and just bought your book on the American Revolution.

Too much political bias to be useful. I prefer the Old Florida Now podcast since it’s straight history.

I really enjoy some of the content but it is hard (despite what other reviewers say because they sit on the same side of the fence) to trust that a fair representation is being given because it becomes obvious that everyone leans to one side of the political spectrum on the show. It’s really hard to take seriously when silly media terms like “climate denier” are used to brand people with different viewpoints. Wish I had better things to say, how about no political bias, at least give both sides of an argument, and don’t use dumb labels for people that are meant to divide.
