Florida's changing politics
The Economist magazine is out this month with a new special report titled “The Sunshine State also Rises," exploring and explaining the evolution of Florida ahead of key U.S. elections. And it offers insight into the driving forces behind Florida’s changing political complexion.
Guest: Alexandra Suich Bass, senior correspondent for politics, technology and society at The Economist.
Entertainment growth
Downtown Jacksonville has come a long way over the last few years, especially when it comes to the growth of our entertainment industry.
For 2022, Jacksonville is listed as the 26th market in the nation, higher than St. Louis, Portland, San Diego, New Orleans and Austin in Pollstar’s Concert Market Rankings.
Why is that such a big deal?
Guest: Numa Saisselin, president of the Florida Theater.
Local sports
Next week will be a big one for the Jags. Plus: Playoff hockey is back for the Icemen.
