Excitement over a local women’s pro soccer team reached a fever pitch last week, as Sporting Club Jacksonville announced a deal to play its inaugural 2025/26 season at the University of North Florida’s Hodges Stadium. The Division 1 USL Super League will be Jacksonville’s first women’s pro soccer team and promises to change the North Florida landscape for women in sport.
Guests:
- Tony Allegretti, chief community officer, Sporting Club Jacksonville.
- Zara Siassi, United Soccer Coaches All-American, former defensive midfielder with the University of North Florida Ospreys.
Then, Jacksonville’s earliest “tiny homes” communities were known as Bungalow Courts. We talk with the author of Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage about the special place the three remaining Bungalow Courts hold in local history and how they are being slated for preservation.
Guest:
- Dr. Wayne Wood, author and architectural historian.
And, heat as art? We explore the Museum of Contemporary Art’s new atrium installation, which transforms thermodynamics into a visual tapestry. The exhibit rounds out MOCA's centennial year.
Guest:
- Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, creator of the Spectral Subjects exhibit at MOCA.
Plus, just what the Dickens is up in Fernandina Beach this holiday weekend? We’ll tell you what you can expect from Dickens on Centre, the 10th annual Victorian-inspired celebration in the historic heart of Amelia Island.
Guest:
- Madison Jozsa, Amelia Island Convention & Visitors Bureau.
