Swamps & Ballots

Join Emmy-winning journalist Rita Cosby for a wild, action-packed primary election night in Florida as she breaks down the big GOP wins, progressive upsets, and the high-stakes battle over the 'Florida dream'. From Byron Donalds handily clinching the Republican nomination for Governor to high-profile primary defeats for "off their rocker" Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates, Rita and her passionate callers dissect the results and debate backroom political conspiracies involving shadow empires and Hollywood-scripted hearings. In between the political mudslinging, this episode pays tribute to the legendary ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard and honors a heroic New York State trooper's daring life-saving rescue.
