Today on the Palm and Pine Podcast, we sit down with Cedar Key’s one and only “Clambassador,” Michael Presley Bobbitt—and this episode delivers everything from literary insight to straight-up Florida absurdity.

We talk about the latest installment of his Cedar Key Trilogy, diving into the inspiration behind the series, the quirky coastal characters, and the real-life flavor of Old Florida that fuels his storytelling.

But fair warning… things take a turn.

Michael shares a lineup of hilarious Cedar Key stories—including one unforgettable (and surprisingly educational) colonoscopy tale that might be the wildest story we’ve ever had on the show.

We also get into his latest project: “Naked and Afraid: Cedar Key Edition”, now streaming on his YouTube channel—where the line between survival, satire, and Florida chaos gets blurry fast.

This week on the Palm and Pine Podcast, it’s a full-blown tour of wild, weird, and wonderfully Florida stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

We kick things off with an unbelievable headline—a Florida inmate pulls off a porta-potty “romantic rendezvous” that sounds too outrageous to be real… but is. From there, we separate fact from fiction on Florida’s so-called “severe drought”, breaking down what’s really happening on the ground versus what the headlines want you to believe.

Then it’s story time—an authentic Old Florida hunting tale that brings you deep into the palmettos, where tradition, survival, and a little bit of legend all collide.

We also dive into the future of the Sunshine State with major data center projects popping up across Florida—what they mean for growth, land use, and your community.

And of course, we wrap with our Bird of the Week: the Eastern Bluebird—one of America’s most iconic and beloved backyard birds, with a comeback story you’ll want to hear.

🌴 Whether you’re into Florida news, outdoors culture, conservation, or just love a good story, this episode delivers.
