‘Demented celebrity death match’

A conversation with Nate Monroe, the statewide columnist for USA Today's Florida newspapers and one of the best journalists in the Sunshine State.

In this episode: Longtime Florida journalist Nate Monroe, the statewide columnist for USA Today’s Florida newspapers, joins the show to talk about the bursting of the Ron DeSantis bubble — an implosion that plenty of people in Jacksonville always said was inevitable. We also chat about why TV execs are trying to keep abortion banned in Florida and who to root for as some of the biggest bullies in state politics turn on each other.
