First Coast Connect

On Wednesday’s show: Al Letson shares 'More to the Story'

The host of the award-winning Reveal podcast discusses his new project — a deep dive interview show featuring candid and sometimes difficult conversations with journalists, prosecutors, even a former Christian Nationalist. The four-time Peabody award-winning Pulitzer finalist and former First Coast Connect host returns to WJCT’s Studio 2 — this time on the other side of the mic.

Guest:

  • Al Letson, host of Reveal and the new podcast, More to the Story with Al Letson.

Then, ‘tis the most anticipated snack season of the year — Girl Scout cookie time! We sit down with the head of the local Girl Scouts about the program’s impact, from its humble beginnings in 1917, when members baked cookies at home, to the flourishing Thin Mint factory it has become.

Guest:

And, we preview the upcoming JME Soundstage Series, from the indie-pop of Rahill to the garage punk of Shannon & The Clams to the experimental freak pop of Austin trio Being Dead. WJCT’s arts and culture editor shares insights on the series, which aims to foster music discovery and showcases artists from around the world — including talented local bands — while keeping ticket prices affordable.

Guest:

  • Matthew Shaw, arts & culture editor at WJCT.
