About this episode
In this episode, Brodie and Co discuss Suffolk's Pickle Palooza, a kayaking mishap, and the story of the Ghost Fleet.
Pickle pizza, abandoned ships, dangerous heat, and a very muddy kayaking lesson.

Brodie also shares how a misread tide left him stranded in the mud, before uncovering the story of Suffolk’s “Ghost Fleet,” a collection of at least 13 historic boats abandoned along the Nansemond River. Plus, we cover the delayed demolition of Norfolk’s MacArthur Center, new free pet microchip scanning stations, Virginia’s expanded Styrofoam food-container ban, the week’s extreme heat, and a few local places and events worth checking out.
