Bakeman also discussed the recent announcement of 22 families of Parkland victims to proceed with lawsuits against the Broward School Board and other parties.

Local record store, Sweat Records announced earlier this week it's moving from its current location in Little Haiti after over a decade in the community. The store's co-founder Lauren Reskin joined Sundial to talk about the new move and the future of the store.

Record stores across South Florida will be celebrating Record Store Day this Saturday. The retail holiday started more than a decade ago and it has become a day for musicians to release new albums on vinyl. Sweat Records’ co- founder, Lolo Reskin and Shawn Kayes manager of Radio-Active Records in Fort Lauderdale joined Sundial to talk about the vinyl music industry in South Florida.
