Florida Folk Show Saturday 10-noon

The Florida Folk Show (FFS) melds folk music, musician interviews and eco interviews on Saturdays, led by Peter Gallagher and Tim Valle w/ Stefanie Hinton and other guest hosts at Craftsman House Gallery, Thrive DTSP RSP studio (when it's cold or rainy) and festivals such as The Florida Folk Show 1/11 @ The Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee for the White Pelican Festival. January guests included the legendary Roy Book Binder, June Bunch, Rick Mastry, Jane Fallon, Grant Peeples and other local performers. L. A. Moore, who hosts the Saturday noon-1pm Songwriters Hour also visited the show (3/15, 4/19, 5/17 for his next shows). World famous poet Larry Jaffe read a poem before hosting a poet's jam session at Jack Kerouac's house in St. Petersburg. Follow FFS on on social media here.

FLORIDA SPORTS STREAM


New episodes weekly! Catch On The Tee and Bump That Media live from Ferg's with Mike Rickord & posse. From high school sports to Florida teams, RSP is the place to be.


On 2/8, Rickord was live covering local soccer, saying "Great event and host with the least amount of soccer knowledge in the room of 50. Soccer for Dummies is my Bible during soccer segments and events. Plenty of Florida High School soccer Hall of Famers to bail me out! Have a Championship Week!"

February Songwriter's Hour host L.A. Moore with guests Pamela Jo Hatley, Joe Milligan had an inspired show.


Local music host of The Revue Rebecca Pearl recently appeared in the first show of Season 2 ENCOUNTER with workship, soul and southern gospel.
