The literary journal Saw Palm was created in 2006 by John Henry Fleming, Phd and the MFA students of the Creative Writing Program at the University of South Florida. Saw Palm's mission is to go beyond the tourist brochures and capture the unique experience of Florida lives, landscapes, and tropes. The episode features a discussion about the making of Issue 19 with Dr. Fleming and student editors Elizabeth Pottinger and Andrea Figueroa-Irizarry, moderated by fellow editor Daniel Dykiel. We read a story from the issue: "Alligator Soup" by Brittany Hague. https://www.sawpalm.org/
