Episode 172: Reporter Roundtable from the Rotunda
<p>Four years ago, Deeper Dive with Dara Kam started as a way to slow down the news cycle just enough for frank conversations about what's happening inside the Florida Capitol and around the Sunshine State. This week's episode does that one more time — and then some. For the final Deeper Dive from the News Service, I sat with a group of reporters for a roundtable recorded right in the Rotunda — the place where so many of our stories began, evolved, and sometimes exploded. We talk shop, swap observations, and reflect on what it's been like to cover Florida politics during one of the most eventful stretches in recent memory. While this is my last episode here, I'm not putting down the mic, so please stay tuned. Many, many thanks to the guests who've shared their insights and the listeners who've joined me on this journey. Much, much gratitude for the team at The News Service of Florida for their unwavering support and for helping this podcast thrive. And of course, special thanks to this week's guests: Capitol Reporter Forrest Saunders, EW Scripps; Capitol Reporter Jason Delgado, Spectrum News; Photojournalist Phil Willette, Bay News 9 Tampa; and State Government Reporter Douglas Soule, WUSF's Your Florida team.</p>

Episode 171: Chicken and Rice with Senate President Ben Albritton
<p>With the 2026 legislative session underway, Dara joined Senate President Ben Albritton in the Capitol for a peek into what lawmakers might deliver over the next 60 days. President Albritton gave Dara an update on plans to slash property taxes, close financial gaps in the state's universal voucher system and address Floridians' affordability concerns. Tune in to hear the latest on the relationships between the state's three most powerful politicos — President Albritton, House Speaker Daniel Perez and Gov. Ron DeSantis — as the men head into the final stretch of their leadership posts. As always, Deeper Dive stirs in a little fun, this time involving a pressure cooker (the kind you cook with, not the political variety). Plus, hidden gems, your weekly haiku, and more!</p>

Episode 170: Reporter Roundtable with Jason Delgado and Forrest Saunders
<p>Happy New Year, Divas! Capitol reporters Forrest Saunders (EW Scripps) and Jason Delgado (Spectrum News) are back with Dara in the Speakeasy to prep you for the 2026 legislative session. Dara and the guys spill the tea on pre-session chaos and power plays already in motion, and dive into a looming showdown over property taxes. Will the friction between Gov. Ron DeSantis and House Speaker Daniel Perez dissipate over the next 60 days and beyond? The sharpest reporters in Tally also dig into the governor's call for a special session on redistricting in April. Forrest dishes up some "talker" bills and Dara goes free-range chickening in Midtown. For Divas headed to the Capital City, the trio deliver the deets on where to dine, where to imbibe and where to slow down!</p>
