Florida Stories Vol. 1, with Bill Leonard and Kristy Lowman

Elmore Leonard has been referred to as the "Dickens of Detroit" but his books are set all over the world. Some of our favorite books of Elmore's, like Split Images, Cat Chaser, La Brava, Maximum Bob, or Rum Punch are set in the great State of Florida.  This podcast features conversations with two people with very unique connections to Florida and Elmore. In the first half of the podast, we speak with Kristy Lowman an actual Weeki Wachee mermaid, just like the ones featured in Maximum Bob. We also get to speak with one of Elmore's five children, Bill Leonard, who shares some great stories about the family vacations that first brought Elmore to Florida.  https://weekiwachee.com Hosted By: Judd Rubin and Alex Leonard Music by: Greg Ahee Produced and Edited by: Judd Rubin Executive Producer: Peter Leonard Let's talk: www.elmoreleonardofficial.com https://x.com/elmorepodcast [email protected]
