We begin with a follow-up to last week's episode in which we talked to legendary Florida conservationist Jack Rudloe; our guest this episode is author and historian Robert Bucellatto, whose book "Rum Runners and Moonshiners of Old Florida" recalls the Prohibition era in Florida.

Craig Pittman is the award-winning author of Oh, Florida!: How America’s Weirdest State Influences the Rest of the Country, The Scent of Scandal, Cat Tale, Manatee Insanity and The State You’re In, and co-author of Paving Paradise. Born in Pensacola, he graduated from Troy State University in Alabama, where his muckraking work for the student paper prompted an agitated dean to label him “the most destructive force on campus.” Since then he has covered a variety of newspaper beats and quite a few natural disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires and the Florida Legislature.
