Welcome to “Casting Our Pods”, the perfect blend of funny and serious for people who love Florida, care about where the state is headed, and want to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed. If you believe you can care deeply about policy and still keep a sense of humor, this podcast is for you.
Two great friends, A and G, dive into headlines shaping the Sunshine State from Tallahassee power plays to issues and policies affecting local communities. We also connect the dots between what's happening in state policy proposals and decisions and bigger national conversations.
Sharp analysis in laid-back and funny conversations, we're here to parse serious issues like immigration, education, and environmental policy. Casting Our Pods keeps it smart, honest, and refreshingly real.
Florida politics is never boring or predictable and neither are we.
A&G remind listeners that the midterm elections are just a month away and the last day to register to vote in Oct. 5th. They dive right into Spotlight Jose Javier Rodriguez and highlight the incredible work he’s already done as a public servant and will continue to do if elected as Florida’s next Attorney General. The two friends talk about the dirty politics that abounds in the state and remind listeners the Hope Florida Scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. G roasts Pete Hegseth and his recent “State of the Folly” address. A&G round out the show talking about the State’s failure in public education. Listen to the end to catch G Spot!
