  • Random Florida Fact: Hooters
    Aug 9 2024

Tradition says the name Montverde means “Green Mountain,” which might seem like a strange name for a town in flat Florida, unless you’re familiar with the long sandy ridge (known as the Lake Wales Ridge) that forms a spine in the center of the state. This ridge is what gives Montverde some beautiful rolling hills. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Aug 6 2024
    Hey, listeners! I'm away for the rest of this work week. I'll be back with more daily episodes (and some special ones soon!) **** Let’s talk about your junk drawer. Is it a kitchen drawer with sauce packets and spare batteries or a shelf in a closet where you keep the box your iPhone came in? Either way, most of us are collecting and accumulating items with sentimental or historical value — including the government of Florida. Preserving the history of an entire state is no simple feat. It first became someone’s job in 1845 when Florida formed an institution called the State Library and Archives. So, let’s explore Florida’s extremely organized, climate-controlled, professionally curated junk drawer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
