Beauty, Bites & Local Life

From cutting-edge cosmetic trends to the stories shaping our local community, this episode brings a little bit of everything to the table. A board-certified plastic surgeon joins us to break down a popular new facelift procedure that has celebrities lining up—explaining why it’s in such high demand and what you should know before considering it. Then, reporter Mike Modrick takes us on a journey through Florida’s rich agricultural roots as he introduces us to the “last orange man” on the Suncoast, who is working to keep the citrus tradition alive in a rapidly changing world. Plus, we step inside a hidden gem on the north end of Longboat Key—Driftwood Beach Home and Garden. Take a unique, local gift shop, add more than 50 local artists, give them a space to share their work, and open the doors for all of us to enjoy—and you have something truly special. By supporting these artists, we continue to uplift our creative community while giving you the chance to walk away with a one-of-a-kind gift for yourself or someone special. Joining us to share more is Patti Meedor, Driftwood’s “right-hand gal.” We’ll also highlight a meaningful opportunity for kids to get involved in the game of golf with [Instructor’s Name], a representative from First Tee, who shares how their free youth lesson program is helping build confidence, character, and skills both on and off the course. And finally, we head into the Rice’s Appliance Kitchen with Executive Chef Drew Adams from CW Prime at The St. Regis Longboat Key, serving up culinary inspiration and a dish you’ll definitely want to try at home. It’s a vibrant mix of lifestyle, community, and conversation—all in one episode.
