By Rob Lorei

Today on radioactivity we listen to the latest  Florida this week, a news and public affairs show moderated by Rob Lorei that airs every Friday night at 8:30 on local PBS station WEDU. This week’s panel offers political insights on the biggest political issues in Florida: Gov. Rick Scott call for a billion dollar tax break for businesses, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against Florida’s death penalty, St.Pete finally allows the Tampa Bay Rays to look for a new stadium site, and a former Republican leader calls out Donald Trump on his morality.

Then we look at some key moments from Sunday’s Democratic debate in Charleston, South Carolina. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley tackled the issues of healthcare reform, campaign financing, and gun control.

It really fills a void in what is today’s music. The variety of genres, rhythms, arrangements, tempos, and vocal stylings keep the listener rapt with attention and tells you that you are entering very special, privileged territory. In addition, the lyrics are great, and so it becomes a sort of a battle to choose between focusing on the words, the music, or the downright stunning vocal performances.”– tunedloud.com CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS! 🚨 Special Show Alert! 🚨 Tune in this Friday at 10am for a Special interview with Andrew Warren!

The amount of soul in this vocal is absolutely phenomenal. The overall production feels like it could have been recorded in Stax in the last 60s. The vibe feels legit and is something we are proud to support. This one came along at just the right time… not too soon or too late. If you miss the “good old days” when people made “real music” then you need to spin this track” (Too Soon, Too Late)” – Ear To The Ground #thw24 #Livemusic #wmnfevents CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS!
