Finding Florida Podcast Has Adventures from Country to Coast (Florida Podcast Network)

Jaime and Glenn head to Jaime's old stomping ground of Fort Lauderdale to get their fancy on! People still often think of Fort Lauderdale as one thing: a party town for spring breakers; but, Jaime and Glenn are here to show you the fancy side. They'll get spa treatments (yes, even Glenn), take a riverboat to a private island, visit historic properties, taste fabulous food from award winning chefs, and be entertained by mermaids! Fort Lauderdale has been undergoing a major revitalization, and this episode gives you an inside look at the fancy fun you can have in one of south Florida's most famous beach towns. Listen in...

Florida is just FULL of festivals, fairs, and art shows all year 'round. And, in this adventure, we visit three festivals that REALLY couldn't be much more different, and we split up our attack. In Part 1, Glenn flies solo at one of Florida's biggest events--the Sun 'n' Fun International Fly-in in the lovely town of Lakeland. It's the 2nd largest airshow in the world! Then, Glenn drove down to Delray Beach and joined Jaime for the Hatsume Japanese Fair at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, which is the largest Japanese festival in Florida. We were surprised by an old friend from a previous episode, and Glenn got an education in Anime and the sub-culture that goes along with it. Listen in...

Then, in Part 2 (Episode 18c), Jaime hits up all the crawfish and beer at the Cajun Crawfish & Music Festival in Palm Beach Gardens on April 20th. Details are in the show notes, if you want to join her!

As a special bonus episode, we decided to explore how travelers turn their business trips into vacations, or "workations." We were privileged to be the opening Key Note Speakers at Podfest Multimedia Expo in Orlando--mecca for both conventions AND vacations. So, while we were there, we decided to ask some of our fellow podcasters about how they were turning THEIR Podfest business trips into a workation--visiting Disney and other surrounding attractions with family and friends along. And, we turned Podfest into a workation of our very own by grabbing a few listeners and checking out the view from 400ft in the air on the ICON Orlando--the tallest observation wheel on the United States east coast!

We pay homage to the impact the Ringling Bros Circus and family had on developing Sarasota by bringing you an entire episode all about the circus! We spent half a day at The Ringling (the State Art Museum of Florida), and were treated to tours from several of their curators. Our friend, Izzy Jay from the Reporting Live Podcast joined us with her family for the tour. Together, we learned why John and Mable Ringling made Sarasota their home. And, we visited the Circus Museum, their mansion called the Ca’ d’Zan, and one of the largest art collections in Florida. Jump in your clown car, head for the big top, and take this journey through time with us at the Greatest Show on Earth. Listen in...
