Jason Garcia hosts the "Seeking Rents" podcast and writes the "Seeking Rents" Substack newsletter. Both investigate government corruption in Florida. Both are essential for Floridians interested in state government and politics. This episode was recorded at Tombolo Books in St. Pete in advance of our first co-hosted live event.
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.
