Episode 262
The governor wants to put a concentration camp for immigrants in the Everglades, following in the footsteps of "Florida's Worst Idea."
Previous “Welcome to Florida” podcast episode about "Florida's Worst Idea," the Everglades Jetport, which gave rise to conservation legend Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Our guest on that episode was Michael Grunwald, author of "The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise," and he joins us again for this episode to discuss his new book about how the global agriculture system is destroying the planet. "We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate" prominently features a Florida man and a "super tree" that could replace failing Florida citrus.
