Show Notes

This week's episode begins with Craig Pittman putting Ron DeSantis in the crosshairs over the governor's big talk and small action on protecting the state's water. If you'd like to learn more about the state's water quality problems, what causes them, what can be done to fix them, a previous episode all about the Floridan Aquifer does so in depth.

This week's guest is artist Kelvin Hair. Kelvin is the son of Alfred Hair, one of the original, legendary, Florida Highwaymen painters. The Florida Highwaymen are the subject of an exhibition on now at the Tampa Museum of Art through March 28. Chadd Scott reviewed the show previously when it was in Orlando.

During the interview, Kelvin mentions a book titled, "The Highwaymen Murals: Al Black's Concrete Dreams." You can find that online here.

As always, this week's episode is brought to you by Hipcamp which is looking for landowners across Florida to welcome its members for experiences in natural Florida. Do you own property on or near a natural or scenic place around the state? If so, Hipcamp wants to hear from you. A flat piece of property large enough to pitch a tent or park an RV is all you need to start earning side income by welcoming Hipcamp members to your property, and Hipcamp takes care of all the details.
