Customer Reviews
Great local program
If you want to know what is happening in Central Florida, stayed tuned to this show. Fantastic information about politics, news and culture presented by a well-informed, captivating host.
Best show on our local NPR station
I'm a big fan of this show -- during the recent elections local pols were invited on, which frankly helped me pick my candidates.
The host is good as well. A recent episode with the author of a book critical of distorted media images of modern Cuba showed a willingness to brook a bit of controversy. Lord knows WMFE needs more of that spirit in its local coverage.
I do wish the show were a full hour long, though.
