| 6/26/26 | ![]() S2 Ep2164: ARTS ALIVE! St. Pete Catalyst's Bill DeYoung with John Huls | Actor, educator and longtime theater professional John Huls joins Bill De Young for this edition of Arts Alive! Huls has been the nucleus of the Dirty John’s sketch comedy troupe since its inception in 2019. He’d spent six years as American Stage’s education director; it was there he began teaching improv and standup comedy. He liked the idea of “anything goes, no holds barred” comedy, and several of his students – actors and upstart standup comedians – thought a lot of it, too. So they started a theater group. Dirty John’s combines sketch comedy, music and improv, with decidedly gay subject matter. Dirty John’s Drag Queen Summer Camp is onstage tonight and Saturday at The Studio@620 (tonight’s show is already sold out, but walk-ups are welcome and encouraged). Tickets are available at The Studio website.#billdeyoung #stpetecatalyst #artsalive! #johnhuls #Diretyjohn's #sketchcomedy #studio@620 #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete | 21m 46s | ||||||

| 6/25/26 | ![]() S2 Ep2150: Soundscapes with Domenico Pontoriero and David Eichenberger | In this episode of Soundscapes, host Domenico Pontoriero sits down with ambient guitarist and composer Dave Eichenberger for a conversation that explores the art of creating atmosphere through sound. Dave shares his musical journey, the artists and ideas that shaped his creative voice, and his fascination with ambient music as a genre that invites reflection rather than demands attention. The discussion also dives into his work with the Dali Museum, his innovative approach to sound design using looping, effects, and guitar synthesis, and the importance of supporting local musicians and live music communities. Together, they explore how music can create space for imagination, contemplation, and connection.About Dave EichenbergerDave Eichenberger is a guitarist, composer, educator, and sonic explorer who has spent more than four decades pushing the boundaries of what a guitar can sound like. Initially inspired by artists such as The Beatles and later influenced by ambient pioneer Brian Eno, Dave developed a unique musical voice built around looping, guitar synthesis, effects processing, and immersive soundscapes. His work blends technical mastery with the slow-building textures of ambient composition, creating music that is both meditative and emotionally evocative. Dave is also known for ambitious projects such as Collectives, a series of 50 one-of-a-kind recordings, and UBU: 32 Days of Balance, a collection of evolving ambient pieces designed to promote focus, reflection, and calm. In addition to his solo work, Dave has performed and recorded extensively with singer-songwriter Julie Black since 2006 and has spent more than 20 years teaching guitar, helping students develop both creativity and technical skill. Whether performing live, composing immersive soundscapes, or collaborating with cultural institutions like the Dali Museum, Dave continues to champion music as a vehicle for curiosity, creativity, and personal discovery.https://daveeichenberger.com/About Domenico PontorieroDomenico Pontoriero is a St. Petersburg–based artist, composer, and radio host working across instrumental music, film, and community arts. He releases music under the moniker Boy in the Rain, an instrumental project with two studio albums available on all major streaming platforms and at BoyintheRain.com.

He currently hosts Soundscapes, airing Monday nights at 10 PM, a weekly program dedicated to immersive, locally made instrumental music. Soundscapes highlights regional composers, nurtures creative community, and supports the performing arts scene throughout the St. Petersburg area.The show is accompanied by the Soundscapes podcast, where Domenico interviews guest co-hosts featured on the program, offering listeners a deeper look into their creative processes, influences, and artistic journeys.#Soundscapes #AmbientGuitar #StPeteArts #IndependentMusician #radiostpete #localmusic #instrumentalmusic #domenicopontoriero #boyintherain | 22m 19s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() S2 Ep2161: MUSIC SCENE Chase Porter Tour of Pinellas County Music History | In this episode of MUSIC SCENE, Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser talks to Chase Porter, music historian who does a deep dive into the history of music and music studios in Pinellas County, including Waring Music Company, celebrating 100 years on July 16. (Book + Bottle is in the spot where Waring used to be.) Stay tuned for his show on RadioStPete Sunshine 96.7 FM with music and talk in July! Enjoy his show here: https://youtube.com/@cporter?si=sicRKRbXyJJWnMuWWaring Music Company (1926-1927) Fred Waring was one of the top bandleaders of the era with his family run band 'Waring's Pennsylvanians" from Penn State. Popular over radio & stage internationally playing jazz, recorded for Victor. Victor had top of the line records, artist roster, phonographs, and technology by 1926. St. Petersburg's music scene was growing in the 20s, many firsts were being made here. Waring and Victor decided on making a store in St. Pete. Waring Music Company, also called the "Victor Building". Became a community hub for music. Presentations/lectures, singers & musicians doing shows inside, stars doing autographs, etc. Petroushka (peh-TROOSH-kuh) Restaurant in Victor Building too, with its own quartet entertaining. New records played over the airwaves weekly by local station WJBB. plenty of famous musicians visited all the time. Waring Music Co. went bankrupt in the fall of 1927, and closed in December. Bankrupted Fred Waring too. Plenty of Victor Records and phonographs from the store are potentially still out there. Especially in Tampa Bay. (Bananas Records is a great spot to look) Plenty of pictures of the inside and outside of the Waring Music Company during this time. Beautiful newspaper ads too. Pinellas County Music History (~1900-1950) I got into this music as a teen in the mid 2010s. Started a YouTube channel dedicated to archiving & talking about all this old music "C Porter". 78RPM records are the best way to listen to and learn to appreciate the older genres and ways of the old world societally (in my opinion). No one ever talks about Florida's musical history outside of country, Rock & Roll, and later jazz artists of the 50s, 60s, etc. ditto Tampa Bay. Some stuff happened here and there in Tampa Bay in the 1890s-1910s, but everything really took off in the 1920s with the land & tourism booms. The Coliseum, Playhouse Theatre, movie theaters, The Gankplank, Lake Butler Estates, Maritime Service Training Station, etc. where everyone played. Radio stations and networks helped let the world hear Tampa Bay's music scene. Bay also a favorite spot for musicians to stop on their way to Miami. Bandleaders, singers, individual musicians, songwriters, record label producers, and all other types of people came from here in the St Pete area too. Here's Chase Porter's story: "I'm Chase Porter, and I'm a born & raised 2nd generation St. Petersburg citizen, with a 5 generations of Florida history on my mother's side. I've grown up with a progressively increasing love and fascination with history, older genres of music, radio, and old technology since a young age. Growing up with the internet exposed me to plenty of history, older tech, but most effectively with music. At the end of Middle School in 2014, I fell in love with Jazz, Blues, Swing, and early Rock & Roll of the 1930s - 1950s from exposure to it all via a video game known as Fallout 3. Becoming enraptured with it all, it wasn't long before I fell in love with some artists such as The Ink Spots, Fletcher Henderson, The Mills Brothers, etc. By 2017 I had learned and listened to hundreds of artists and was mostly in love with the 50s. That year being introduced to vinyl and shellac records. Sending me deeper into a rabbithole of collecting and learning about music, the record industry, etc of the period. By the end of high school, after focusing on the 50s for forever, (and the 20s being just around the corner) I started sticking to the 20s-40s, which is where I've been at ever since. With YouTube, started making documentaries focusing on the music of that time period since then, and deeply researching it all with plenty of top of the line resources that professional discographers and musicologists use on the daily, to learn more about it. Through this, I've been able to bring several completely forgotten musicians of the era back into public light again such as bandleader Will Osborne, and a handful of forgotten local St. Pete area bands and singers such as the Royal Scotch Highlanders, Frank Wilson, Bobbie Brollier, Earl Gresh, etc. This is how Sunshine 96.7 found me eventually, back in 2025 when the 100th anniversary of St. Pete's first record label, Sunshine Records, was founded in 1925 came about. They asked me if I could play a documentary I did on the subject over the air, and I asked them if I could remake it over again, but for Radio audiences. Since then I've been doing radio specials every few months. My new radio show Danceband Days I started for Sunshine 96.7 has been described as being "like Ken Burns of radio" by professors and former radio DJs who have listened. One specific anniversary program I did for them back in the spring, President & CFE Joe Bourdow said of it personally to me, that it was "one of the coolest things we have ever had on the air." All of this leads me to now. Danceband Days episode 3 is in the works, and so is Episode 4, and right now so is the Waring Music Company special too.

Through word-of-mouth, social media, and a commitment to inclusivity, Sunrise Crew has grown into a thriving group where people of all fitness levels, ages, and backgrounds come together to exercise, connect, and support one another.Bobby and Jesse emphasized that Sunrise Crew is about much more than fitness. Members have formed lasting friendships, found life partners, started families, and built valuable personal and professional connections. The group’s culture encourages everyone—from first-timers to seasoned athletes—to participate at their own pace while enjoying the camaraderie and accountability that comes from showing up consistently.A unique part of the Sunrise Crew experience is gathering at local coffee shops after each workout, helping support small businesses throughout St. Pete while giving members additional opportunities to socialize and strengthen community ties.The conversation also highlighted the positive impact fitness has had on both Bobby and Jesse personally, improving not only their physical health but also their confidence, mindset, and overall quality of life. They shared stories of members transforming their health, achieving personal goals, and finding a sense of belonging through the group.The episode concludes with an open invitation for anyone interested to join a workout. Sunrise Crew remains completely free and welcomes newcomers every Monday and Friday morning at Alva Rose Park near North Shore Park.About The Sunrise CrewSunrise Crew is a free community fitness group founded in February 2023 with a mission to bring people together through movement, accountability, and genuine connection. What began as four almost strangers meeting before sunrise has grown through word of mouth into a thriving community that gathers every Monday and Friday at 6:30 a.m. at Elva Rouse Park.Built on the belief that fitness should be accessible to everyone, Sunrise Crew has never charged for a workout and never will. Since its first workout, the group has not missed a single Monday or Friday exercise: rain, sleet, or hurricane! It has created a culture centered around consistency, positivity, and showing up for one another.Beyond the workouts, Sunrise Crew hosts community events, social gatherings, and challenges throughout the year while maintaining an active group chat that helps members stay connected, support one another, and build lasting friendships.

New Smithsonian Exhibition Opens Featuring American Alligator Skull From FloridaA Remarkable exhibition celebrating America’s 250th anniversary features more than 600 never-before-seen historic and cultural treasuresWASHINGTON, D.C. — Opening this Thursday, June 18th, at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, “From These Lands: Sharing Our Natural and Cultural Heritage” is a groundbreaking new exhibition commemorating America’s 250th anniversary through more than 600 rare objects and specimens representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories. Drawn from the museum’s collection of more than 148 million artifacts and specimens, the 5,000-square-foot exhibition explores the people, landscapes, discoveries, traditions, and defining moments that have shaped the United States across millions of years of natural and cultural history. Many of the objects on display have rarely or never before been exhibited publicly.Representing Florida in the exhibition is an American alligator skull, one of 23 objects from the state featured in the From These Lands exhibition. Each state, district and territory has selected organisms and minerals that represent its character. These state symbols can be found throughout the museum’s collections. Florida’s state reptile, the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), is an iconic species found throughout the region’s wetlands. This juvenile skull offers a glimpse of an animal that can grow much larger as an adult. Appearing in the fossil record over 13 million years ago, American alligators now live in freshwater habitats throughout North America. As nocturnal carnivores, these reptiles glide through dark waters feeding on fish and other animals. The exhibition highlights the unique natural, cultural, scientific, and historical contributions connected to Florida and is expected to be viewed by millions of visitors from around the world during its multi-year engagement in Washington, D.C.“This exhibition brings the entire country into one gallery,” said Kirk Johnson, Sant Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. “As the country marks its 250th anniversary, ‘From These Lands’ presents an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of our landscapes, the depth of our history and the connections that link people and the natural world across borders.”EXHIBITION DETAILS:“From These Lands: Sharing Our Natural and Cultural Heritage”Smithsonian National Museum of Natural HistoryOpening: Thursday, June 18, 2026Washington, D.C.Free Admission | 4m 49s | ||||||

| 6/22/26 | ![]() S2 Ep2150: LET'S GO Clearwater Marine Aquarium News, Events & Exhibits Summer 2026 | Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser caught up with Clearwater Marine Aquarium's Marsha Strickhouser about news (a movie being filmed there), exhibits and events this summer! We talked about their rescue, rehabilitation and conservation efforts as well as experiences. Learn more here. 👉Something big, whiskered and wonderful is about to make a splash at Clearwater Marine Aquarium! In July Pinniped Pier will open, a brand-new sea lion and seal habitat, and welcoming California sea lions to CMA for the very first time. More than just a new habitat, Pinniped Pier expands our ability to inspire conservation, support marine animal rescue efforts from coast to coast, and connect guests with the incredible stories of these charismatic pinnipeds. From learning about the challenges sea lions face in the wild to seeing them up close, guests will have a whole new way to experience CMA's mission in action.👉Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is spreading its wings in an exciting new way with the debut of Wings & Wildlife, a brand-new habitat introducing guests to several varieties of tropical birds and tortoises, as well as an Animal Connections Village with two sugar gliders, a chinchilla and the addition of Benjamin the Virginia opossum. The vibrant new habitat welcomes four charismatic tropical birds who recently arrived at CMA after the closure of Miami Seaquarium, where animal care teams worked to find safe, permanent homes for the animals. Their arrival marks an exciting milestone for CMA, expanding its resident family beyond marine life and introducing guests to an entirely new species group at the aquarium. The Wings & Wildlife habitat is sponsored by Universal Parking, CMA’s parking partner. Several tortoises were also welcomed from Miami Seaquarium, as well as others that were rescued here in Clearwater. 👉The new Animal Connections Village will feature two new sugar gliders, a chinchilla and Benji the opossum. The new habitat is built to look like a Key West village of colorful pastel houses, highlighted by gingerbread trim. The new habitat will be sponsored by CMA’s catering partner, Puff ‘n Stuff Catering. 👉Wings & Wildlife offers guests an up-close look at some of nature’s most colorful and intelligent animals, complete with custom-built perches, interactive enrichment spaces and specially designed habitats that allow each animal’s unique personality to shine. “These animals needed a new home, and we are proud to provide them with exceptional care and a safe, enriching environment,” said Joe Handy, CEO of CMA. “The opening of Wings & Wildlife and the Animal Connections Village represent an exciting evolution for Clearwater Marine Aquarium as we continue expanding the ways we connect guests to wildlife, conservation and animal rescue. These two new habitats reflect CMA’s continued commitment to animal rescue, rehabilitation, conservation and providing lifelong care for animals in need.”👉The habitat officially introduces four tropical bird species to CMA for the first time: a green-winged macaw, Sulphur-crested cockatoo, umbrella cockatoo and red-lored Amazon parrot. Additional species are expected to join the habitat in the coming months. Guests can now meet the new feathered residents:Big Bird – A striking Green-winged Macaw and the second-largest species of macaw in the world, Big Bird is known for his bright red feathers and booming squawks that can be heard from up to three miles away. Approximately 30 years old, he loves peanuts, dancing to pop music from Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter, and greeting guests with enthusiastic “Hello!” and “Hiiiiii!” vocalizations. Although he never learned to fly, his playful personality and joyful spirit make him larger than life.Powder – This affectionate sulphur-crested cockatoo is famous for his cuddly nature and soft white feathers. His name comes from the powder-like substance cockatoos naturally produce to help protect their feathers from rain and moisture. Around 25 years old, Powder enjoys pistachios, bananas and sunflower seeds and can live well into his 90s.Skipper – A critically endangered umbrella cockatoo, Skipper may be shy at first, but he quickly steals hearts when he fans out his signature umbrella-shaped crest feathers. Approximately 20 to 25 years old, Skipper enjoys almonds and apples and has formed a close friendship with fellow bird resident Mr. Thumbs.Mr. Thumbs – The smallest — and arguably loudest — member of the flock, Mr. Thumbs is a red-lored Amazon parrot with a big personality. Known for whistling, making kissing sounds and even purring like a cat, he delights guests with his vocal talents and playful antics. He loves sunflower seeds, fruit and spending time alongside Skipper.👉The movie "Christmas in Clearwater" is being filmed on location at CMA for a holiday romance set at the aquarium, focusing not only on a love story, but CMA's mission of Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release. This coastal Christmas romance stars Katrina Norman (Christmas in Homestead) and Ignacyo Matynia (My Nightmare Landlord) and is directed by Lindsay Hartley (The Recipe Files). Shooting on location in Florida’s Gulf Coast, the film features the Clearwater Marine Aquarium as both a primary setting and a central element of the story. Christmas in Clearwater is targeting a Christmas 2026 release.About Clearwater Marine Aquarium: Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is a 501(c)(3) non profit working marine rescue center dedicated to inspiring the human spirit through leadership in education, research, rescue, rehabilitation and release.
