First Coast Connect: Week in Review

Each Friday, our media roundtable dives into the biggest stories of the week. Among our topics this week: Two major decisions, from the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida State Capitol, are reshaping minority political representation for years to come. Florida’s attorney general initiates yet another Jacksonville investigation — this time into JEA.  A memorial to the victims of the Dollar General mass shooting is destroyed by vandals. Guests: Sylvia Perry, editor of the Jacksonville Free Press Brenda Priestly Jackson, former Jacksonville City Council member, former Duval County School Board member John Daigle, political consultant, former City Hall reporter A.G. Gancarski, reporter at Florida Politics, columnist for Jacksonville Today This Week in Music History Public media is well known for providing context for news developments, but the work doesn’t end with the headlines. Context matters for music, too, as it shapes and is shaped by the culture, politics and society from which it emanates. Music guru and Electro Lounge host David Luckin turns his focus and editing skills to creating a sonic landscape that showcases iconic songs inside a temporal milieu. The project, This Week in Music History, is an hourlong spinoff of his popular daily segment, Today in Music History. It launches at 7 p.m. Sunday and airs weekly in that time slot going forward. We talk to Luckin about the inspiration for the project and why he wanted to explore, as he says, “history you can feel.” Guest: David Luckin, host, Electro Lounge, WJCT Public Media station managerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
