This recording is not Florida Roundup, it must be a different program posted by mistake. I hope the episode will be available once this apparent error is corrected.
Well done
Glad to be able to get Florida NPR on a podcast.
Biased and Rude
The interviews I’ve listened to refuse to find middle grounds on facts and refuse to get to the heart of issues, they’re literally looking for an echo chamber to hear their own thoughts reflected. Got through 2 episodes and just can’t. They’re hurting Florida by being unable to not interject their own opinions in subjects.
