The new Major League Soccer team Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami -- referred to as Inter Miami CF -- led by David Beckham won't be starting out in Miami. Their games will take place for at least two years at a new facility being built at the Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Sundial talked to Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis about what this means for the city.Listen to today's full show.

Food halls have become a food trend in South Florida, but what exactly are they? Sundial gathered a panel of food experts to discuss. The Citadel owner Nick Hamman, Miami New Times food writer Zach Fagenson, and Grandview Public Market owner Chris Vila talked to host Luis Hernandez about the growing popularity of food halls and how it is changing neighborhoods like Little Haiti.  

The Tropicana cabaret, the Prado Boulevard, and the Havana Cathedral are all iconic Cuban landmarks. Along with other experiences, they will be recreated at an event this weekend, called"Cuba Nostalgia." The Executive Producer of Cuba Nostalgia Peter Regalado joined Sundial to talk about the event and what it means to teach South Florida's younger Cuban population about Cuba's history.
