PTSA bridges a gap, a ‘woods to table’ chef, TPS ruling aftermath, tapping into dance
About this episode
The episode discusses public transportation challenges, a chef's experience on a deserted island, the end of Temporary Protected Status, and the Tampa Bay Tap Festival.
Public transportation is a big problem in the area. Inconsistent funding among the counties, no light rail and reduced services have made it source of contention, but the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority is trying to make it a little easier across Tampa Bay. Then, a local chef talks about his time on a deserted island for a spinoff of the Food Network’s “Chopped” series. Also, a member of the local Haitian community discusses the end of Temporary Protected Status. Finally, we’ll take a spin around the Tampa Bay Tap Festival. Hint: It’s not about craft beer.
