Welcome to Florida: The Weekly Podcast That Covers the Sunshine State from Every Angle

If you want to understand Florida beyond the headlines, best-selling author Craig Pittman and radio personality Chadd Scott break it down every week with equal parts history, humor, and heart.

Welcome to Florida is a weekly podcast that digs into the people, places, animals, environment, and general weirdness that make the Sunshine State unlike anywhere else. Pittman, the author of several Florida books including Oh, Florida!, brings a journalist’s eye and a deep love for the state to every episode. Together, the hosts cover everything from forgotten history to environmental issues to the kind of stories that could only happen here.

What sets it apart from other Florida podcasts is the range. One week it might be the story of a lost Civil War submarine, and the next it might be a conversation about manatee migration or a deep dive into a crumbling roadside attraction. The tone stays warm and curious without ducking the complicated stuff. Listeners regularly call it their favorite weekly reminder of why Florida is worth paying attention to.
