The Florida Roundup live from the Tropic Theater in Key West on August 9, 2024.

The Florida Roundup: Live from Key West 

Key West is the last island of the chain, marking the end of Florida … and often the first place many of the effects of climate change are seen.

We visited the southernmost city for a special edition of The Florida Roundup to look at how what’s happening here can inform sustainability efforts across the state. We also spoke about the high cost of living with rising insurance premiums, vacation rentals and access to health care.

Guests:

  • Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, former U.S. representative, FL-26th. 
  • Jenny Staletovich, environment editor for WLRN. 
  • Julia Cooper, WLRN reporter covering the Florida Keys and South Dade.
