The tragedy of the 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside created a cascade of its own condo calamities, from skyrocketing HOA costs to a reluctance by some lenders to offer mortgages to entire condo communities. We talk to a local expert in condo and real estate law about what legislative changes are being wrought in Tallahassee and what remedies are available to willing sellers and buyers.
Guest:
- Barry Ansbacher,* board certified real estate lawyer and condo expert.
(*Ansbacher Law is an underwriter of WJCT Public Media.)
Then, a local artists’ collaborative celebrates 20 years of supporting First Coast artists, both professionally and practically. We talk with a founder and a member of The Art Center Cooperative about the significance of the anniversary and how the community can join the celebration.
Guests:

- Annelies Dykgraaf, founding member and president of The Art Center Cooperative Inc.
And, thinking outside the galaxy is the focus of the upcoming MOSH presentation Storm of Stars. From a time when scientists believed our galaxy was the universe to understanding our small place in a vast expanse, the exploration is the latest installment of the museum’s Silver Space Series (for those 55+). We also preview a command encore screening of Electro Lounge Night Out at the Planetarium on May 30.
Guest:
- Eddie Whisler, planetarium director at the Museum of Science & History.
