Ray Jay or Rays? Teens talk 'takeovers.' Prison staffing crisis. Singer jazzes up new album
Shaded seats at Raymond James Stadium sound great, but how much public money should be spent on renovating the 28-year-old facility? And, how can Tampa and Hillsborough afford that project while helping build the Rays’ “Forever Home.” That's a show! But there's more. We hear how the kids feel about the “teen takeovers” that have been creating public disturbances – and in one case, involved a shooting. Also, critics of the state’s corrections system argue staffing and oversight issues impact inmate healthcare – and accountability when deaths occur. We close with a nifty sit-down with Destin Conrad, who is making his own kind of music on his second album, “wHIMSY.” Website: https://www.wusf.org Sign up for our daily newsletter: https://www.wusf.org/wakeupcall-newsletter Follow us on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSF Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3

Through the eyes of a dog, coming fuel circle, VA under strain, grill rides, tagging rays and sharks
We were recently visited by Dave, a furry friend, but he wasn’t here to play. He was there to work and give us a personal demonstration on guide dogs. Dave even provided a personal demonstration on how he helps people gain independence. Plus, we’ve seen gas prices skyrocket, then come down, only to go up again. Is the latest cycle making a difference to your weekly budget? Also, a conversation over the burnout and how staffing shortages are driving healthcare workers away from the Veterans Affairs system.
