He had just one job, literally, and he’s done it exceptionally well for 40 years. On the eve of retirement for Florida Times-Union staff photographer Bob Self, he joins us to discuss the only full-time job he’s ever had, and how his work chronicled a key part of First Coast history.

Then, since its start in 2002, First Coast Crime Stoppers had only one executive director. Wyllie Hodges served Jacksonville for over 50 years before his death last August. Now, Chase Robinson continues Hodges’ legacy in a new Downtown Jacksonville office, carrying forward the group’s mission: to make the city a safer place for all.

And, the creation of constellations and the science behind how stars align. Eddie Whisler, planetarium director at the Museum of Science & History, joins us for his monthly update on all things celestial.
