Batdorf’s vision for St. Pete, the Bando’s hidden community, blues legacy in town
About this episode
Kevin Batdorf discusses his mayoral campaign in St. Petersburg, the community's response to hurricanes, and highlights a blues artist's legacy.
The 2024 hurricanes may be a distant memory for some. For St. Petersburg resident Kevin Batdorf, the floods that drenched his Shore Acres neighborhood prompted him to run for mayor. He talks about the issues and how he would steer the city if elected. Also, an abandoned resort near Disney World became a refuge of sorts for people who lost homes and jobs. And we meet a blues artist who’s performed with Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood and other British rock royalty.
