It’s a regular check-in about unforgettable women you may or may not have heard of, in the news, in books, in history, and in must-watch big and small screen moments.

Rui Farias is the Executive Director, St. Petersburg Museum of History and his podcast  Historically St. Pete  is a weekly conversation exploring the truths (possibly the myths) of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years, Rui's guest today is Our guest today is Domenico Pontoriero, president of the Roser Park Neighborhood Association! Radio St. Pete listeners know Dom from his Car-Free Conversations podcast, but he is the resident expert on Roser Park. St. Petersburg is blessed with a number of unique neighborhoods, some over 100 years old and some fairly new as far as history goes. But definitely none as unique as Roser Park. This historic gem is tucked away just outside the downtown corridor and unknown to many residents. Growing up on the edge of the Roser Park neighborhood, Rui loves guiding SPMOH trolley tours through Roser Park, known for its unique Halloween and Christmas celebrations as well. A shrewd businessman, Charles M. Roser purchased 12 acres of mostly orange groves outside the city limits for $12,000 – an unheard-of sum in that day and starts to build what he plans on being America’s most beautiful neighborhood, and people who live there or visit still agree. Roser had to be one of the City’s favorite developers. Donated the park to the city, donated the land to build Roser Park Elementary; build a dorm for nurses; moved the original hospital to 22nd Street to construct Mercy Hospital for the Black residents when the city was incredibly segregated. Roser’s investment in Florida wasn’t restricted to St. Petersburg. In 1911 he traveled by boat to a barren key named Anna Maria Island. Partnered in the Anna Maria Beach Company to develop the property by laying out streets and selling lots. Since the only access to the island then was by boat, Roser built a pier in 1911 at the end of Pine Avenue to accommodate the boats bringing the expected influx of visitors and potential residents. Roser had a real estate office within easy walking distance of the pier on the south side of Pine Avenue. In 1913 as a memorial to his mother, he built Roser Memorial Community Church, which was the first church on the island. It has been enlarged and still serves the people of Anna Maria Island. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years and we are happy to share those stories with you here on this podcast. https://spmoh.com/ Visit St. Petersburg Museum of History here. #history  #ruifarias  #stpetersburgmuseumofhistory #HISTORYicallystpete #sunshinecity #floridahistory #stpetersburghistory #roserpark #domenicopontoriero #tampabay #radio #stpete #radiostpete  #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

Downtown St. Pete's vibrant neighborhood is popular with visitors and locals, thanks to unique boutiques, shops and festivals, including the upcoming Halloween on Central. The EDGE District can be described as a walkable, dog-friendly place with a mix of funky drinking, dining and shopping establishments – but that doesn’t quite do it justice. That’s because the EDGE District is just so cool and ever-changing. Yes, there are the local landmarks, such as Tropicana Field, Ferg’s, Green Bench Brewing and Bodega. But this district is always evolving, and that means there's something new and interesting to experience every time you visit. https://edgedistrict.org/   #edge #edgedistrict #edgebusinessdistrict #rogercurlin #newsonthe edge #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

His first public art commission in Austin many years ago was a monumental game of horseshoes called Ringers. His newest piece - a giant strawberry - is taking shape in his studio for Wimauma. "We sometimes have 60 RFPS out for art installations," says Aeling, who credits his fabrication and design team plus years honing his skills in theater scenery construction and design as the backbone for work.  Internationally acclaimed artist, Mark Aeling, established MGA Sculpture Studio, LLC in 1996 in St. Louis, Missouri.

“Foolishness” - Several stories that follow a theme of foolishness… being foolish or feeling foolish.  We are all fools at one time or another. Digital Flotsam was originally created by RadioStPete volunteer P.W. Fenton. It appeared for several years nationally on Sirius Satellite Radio. We are proud to offer these great spoken word pieces again. #digitalflotsam #pwfenton #noplacelikehome #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

“I’m having the most fun I think I’ve had onstage in over a decade,” Jobsite Theater musical director Jeremy Douglass says on today’s edition of the Arts Alive! podcast. “No slight to the other shows that we’ve done, they’ve all been great. I loved them all like my children – but man, there’s something about this one.” This one is The Rocky Horror Show, onstage through Aug. 4 at the Jaeb Theatre, the larger of the two Straz Center venues where Jobsite typically lives. Rocky is in the Jaeb because it’s a big show, a bright, bold, bizarre, loud and lascivious musical comedy – the sort of thing the company excels at.  Douglass, a longtime professional musician (he is a jazz pianist of considerable renown) began transitioning into theater work eight years ago. He has scored myriad productions for Jobsite, composing and designing soundscapes for the shows that aren’t musicals, and arranging things for the live bands (which he always leads) for the shows that are. Like Rocky, for example. Douglass (right) with saxophonist Ronnie Dee, onstage in “The Rocky Horror Show.” Photo: James Zambon Productions. Musically, “Rocky Horror is sort of like the squared-off ‘50s and the more free-form ‘70s. And what happens when those things clash together.” His arrangements, he explains, harken back to the original Los Angeles run of the show in the early 1970s, as opposed to the famous film adaptation or more recent big-stage revivals. He’s thrilled that life has taken him in this new direction. “I’m no longer out trying to sell booze,” he says, referring to the grueling bar-to-bar schedule of a performing musician. “I’m actually part of a team that creates experiences.” Next April, Douglass will revive his big band the Florida Bjorkestra for another “Buffyfest” – songs from the sole musical episode (“Once More With Feeling”) of TV’s late and lamented Buffy the Vampire Slayer – at the Palladium Theater, the first such show by the estimable ensemble (26 people this time around, including strings and horns) since pandemic times. #stpetecatalyst #artsalive #stpetecatalyst #jobsite #billdeyoung #jeremydouglass #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

RadioStPete.com News Director Nanette Wiser chatted with Bryan J. Hughes about The Crew's new CD,  Floridian Social Sundays, Sinatra at Floridian Social 8/2, The Palladium American Songbook 11/1 and upcoming performances at Suncoast Jazz Festival and Clearwater Jazz Holiday concerts.  The Crew is an all-star band that features Bryan Hughes, on vocals, James Suggs, trumpet, Alejandro Arenas, bass, John O’Leary, piano, and Jean Bolduc, drums.  http://bryanjhughes.com ABOUT BRYAN Trained in both traditional and contemporary jazz, American Jazz Vocalist Bryan J. Hughes mixes the seasoned sound of a classic jazz frontman with big band popular stylings and a contemporary R&B smoothness that breathes life into songs both old and new. In the early 1990’s, Bryan moved to New York City to pursue a career in music. His style evolved as he worked with experienced artists from varying backgrounds and musical genres.  He was fortunate to write with smooth jazz artists of the time such as George Jinda and Chieli Minucci of Special Effects. He also had the great fortune of working with Earnie Lake, Bobby Guy and Hex Hexter of Soul Solutions – three of the biggest remixers of the 2000’s. Bryan also befriended Christoph Spendel, with whom he enjoys a lifelong friendship and who gave Bryan his first writing credits on the smooth jazz CD Out of Town, released in 1995. These experiences helped refine Bryan’s arrangement and production skills.  Through years of playing, exposure to the music industry, and working relationships with expert musicians, Bryan cultivated his own artistic style, refined his lyric and music compositions, and progressed to working on his own music. Notably and simultaneously, he continued to play in numerous original bands with other musicians trying to make a mark in the NYC club scene. Like other committed musicians at the time, Bryan’s typical Friday or Saturday evening consisted of one-hour sets in three separate venues including popular clubs such as CBGB’s, the Bitter End, Cafe Wa, and the Bottom Line. This era marked a great time in Bryan’s life during which he enjoyed playing and preforming live while gaining valuable experiences and insights from and with a wide variety of musicians.  Wanting to return to his roots, Bryan moved back to Florida  to embark on a solo project, allowing him to apply acquired skills and to explore new ideas. Through a collaborative partnership with Scott Rogness who wrote “That Thing you Do”, which was featured in a movie of the same name, Bryan released his CD The Distance in the spring of 2008. Bryan and his writing partner Howard Kleinfeld were competitively selected to score the TV series Will to Live and, later, the 2013 made for television movie It Was Him or Me. Having developed a knack for writing and arranging songs and jingles, Bryan felt compelled to return to his love of singing. He formed a jazz trio in the Tampa Bay area. Focusing on the music that had influenced him from an early age, he dove into the American Song Book titles and began performing at local jazz clubs. As he gained recognition and his popularity grew, Bryan was soon recruited to front jazz orchestras including Helios, Summit, and the Sarasota Jazz Orchestra. These performances allowed him to further perfect his voice and carve out a niche for his talent.   In 2013, Bryan began singing with musician John Lamb, formally of Duke Ellington Band, as well as the Nate Najar Trio. In these musically based relationships, Bryan learned the power of singing from the Great American Songbook. From John Lamb, who was involved in the inception of the early songs, Bryan learned the importance of simplicity and the perfection in basics of chords and melodies. He, James Suggs and THE CREW now perform regularly at Floridian Social and around Tampa Bay.

“Caution Epiphany Ahead” - How my 26th year was so very different than my first 25. Digital Flotsam was originally created by RadioStPete volunteer P.W. Fenton. It appeared for several years nationally on Sirius Satellite Radio. We are proud to offer these great spoken word pieces again. #digitalflotsam #pwfenton #noplacelikehome #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

Our guest on today’s Arts Alive! podcast is Joe Bourdow, founder and station manager of Radio St. Pete, which streams local content – music, news, sports and more – 24 hours a day, commercial-free. Radio St. Pete is online, and also at 96.7 FM.  The former president of Valpak began the station, out of his home, as a retirement gift for himself (he’d been a DJ and a sports announcer at various times in his career).  Radio St. Pete officially signed on the internet July 4, 2013, and eight years later received its on-air license from the Federal Communications Commission. The FM station’s low-power signal only reaches part of the city, but Bourdow and his all-volunteer team treat it like it’s coast-to-coast, broadcasting exclusively St. Petersburg-made music, conversations and ideas. The online stations, and there are four of them (click here to see what they’re sending out), draw far more listeners, anyway. Bourdow discusses his vision of what a community radio station’s responsibility is, where RSP fits into the current climate … and where it’s going in the future.

RadioStPeteINSIDER news director Nanette Wiser spoke with SHINE® Mural Festival (October 11-20) Director Jenee Priebe about the Festival's 10th Anniversary this year recognizing the transformative power of a decade of public ar CEO Terry Marks St. Petersburg Arts Alliance produces the event; she and Priebe have big plans for the kick-off party 10/11 at The Morean and the Big Finale at FloridaRAMA on 10/19 with 100 artists in a reunion show. https://stpeteartsalliance.org/shine-mural-festival By using the walls and streets as canvas, SHINE transforms our shared spaces into a world-class outdoor gallery featuring top contemporary local, national, and international artists.  There have been 125+ artists from 17 different countries and 168 new murals created since 2015 revitalizing neighborhoods, inspiring dialogue and uniting communities. To date, close to 60 murals have been lost due to development.   The SHINE® Mural Festival is the first in the world to have an accessible audio tour and the technology to instantly connect mural viewers to online content via PixelStix. This interactive technology is now being used by other mural organizations nationwide. You can walk or take a bike tour Saturdays from Florida Craft Art or a Star Trolley Tour and with a pixel stick, you can double the art experience.  Local, national and international artists have been selected over the years, some unknown who became famous. Priebe will be interviewing several local artists, such as The Vitale Brothers, on RadioStPete.com in advance of the October Festival.  #murals #SHINEmuralfestival #artsalliance #jeneepriebe #terrymarks #vitalebrothers #floridaRAMA #nanettewiser #art #moreanarts #startrolley #floridacrafts  #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete  #downtownstpete #dtsp

Use AI or be used by it? RadioStPete news director Nanette Wiser will be inviting locals to share with us how they are impacted by the AI Revolution in future Biz Brief episodes. Tech guru Brian Peret feels that AI is like an AKA weapon if not used properly. He uses it at work to help create outlines for presentations and projects.  Rich Odato, President of Odato Marketing,  and RSP news director Nanette Wiser talked about how AI is helpful for asking the right questions, streamlining research, summarizing SEO opportunities, media campaign demographics, data analysis and supporting digital strategies.  Both locally and nationally, there's no avoiding it. Meta search engine is AI. Your phone is like a drug dealer pushing AI prompts. Recently, St. Pete Catalyst introduced its first "AI" reporter. Right now the music industry is in a huge upheaveal: Last week three major record labels—Sony Music, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group—announced they were suing the AI music companies Suno and Udio over alleged copyright infringement. The music labels claim the companies made use of copyrighted music in their training data “at an almost unimaginable scale,” allowing the AI models to generate songs that “imitate the qualities of genuine human sound recordings. Rich refuses to harness AI in his musical side gig with wife/songwriter Cassie & The Fireflies.  Looking to understand AI and the kerfuffle of will it stay or will we go?

RadioStPete INSIDER news director Nanette Wiser asked journalists Holly Hargett and Ernest Hooper (Senior VP of Communications for United Way Suncoast, St. Pete Life Magazine columnist; seen here in this photo) what they learned at the PRSA Tampa Bay media roundtable 6/25 at the Poynter Institute.  Both Hooper and Hargett stressed the importance of building a story pitch based on fact and with a national hook made local, knowing what the publication/show might be looking for, providing story ideas and leads when possible to them (outside of your clients) to strengthen relationships and providing background, fact sheets, captioned photos, research, data and a strong story foundation that makes sense for both parties.  The event was an opportunity to  build relationships with local media and hear directly from key players on how to generate effective media coverage. The event also offers a great chance to network with dozens of PR colleagues from PRSA. The program kicked off with a lively panel discussion, followed by a “speed networking” session during which the individual media representatives spend about 5 minutes visiting each guest table. For some, like Hooper, it was a TBTimes reunion of former reporters! Emceed by NPR's Eric Deggans, the panel featured Michael Van Sickler, Tampa Bay Times; Mary Shedden, WUSF; Jillian Ramos, WFTS-Ch. 28; Kerry Sanders, former senior national news correspondent with NBC News; Kathryn Varn, Axios Tampa Bay; Camille Knox, CBS News; Mariángeles Munoz, Univision Tampa Bay and Saundra Amrhein, Sarasota Herald-Tribune. The next event is Professional Development Day at the Tampa Airport 8/24.

Pete Gallagher's interview with Tonya Wiley Saturday was just one of his provocative ongoing commentary and interviews on environmental action in our community and Florida! This is the amazing tale of the life and death of a giant – critically endangered --Smalltooth sawfish that was found swimming, oddly, in the waters off Bay Pines recently – furthest north this species of fish has ever been seen!  The fish succumbed to a mysterious “circular swimming” disease that is affecting, not only the Smalltooth sawfish, but also tarpon, grouper and many other Florida Gulf fish – alarming fishermen, wildlife biologists and scientists across Florida. She joined singer/songwriters Zeta the Babe & "Betty," her sax, and Tom “Skid Row” Scudiero.  The Florida Folk Show airs Saturdays 10am live on 96.7 FM RadioStPete.  #floridafolkshow #sawfishreovery #tonyawiley  #environment #petegallagher #marinelife #ffseco Photo: Save Our Seas Magazine. 

Author Michelle Passoff Launches Podcast To Help Make Room For What Matters Michelle Passoff has long been on a mission to share the transformative power of decluttering. She has crisscrossed the USA and has travelled around the globe and back delivering classes, retreats, lectures, and private consultations with a message that continues to resonate with young and old, rich and poor, men and women: “Let go of too many papers, clothes, and other ‘stuff’ that you no longer want, need, use and love and watch what comes into the space you create — more, not less, of what you dream is possible,” says Passoff. She calls this ‘conventional clutter’ and promises miracles to those who align who they are with their environment. Now, Passoff’s message has matured and and her target   — Baby Boomers– has evolved! She is introducing the “Decluttering 55+ with Michelle Passoff” podcast, which drops every Monday wherever listeners get their podcasts and on YouTube. Passoff is chatting it up with authors, experts, geeks, and authorities on both ‘conventional’ and ‘next-level’ clutter cleaning subjects. ““Letting go of conventional clutter is the easy part. “Next-level” clutter cleaning addresses areas of life that many of us over the age 55+ prefer to sweep under the carpet and deal with it another day – or never, “ says Passoff. The areas of life Passoff encourages us to reassess or take action on include resetting eating and exercise regimens; telling our life story; healing and creating new relationships; making decisions about where to live and what to do next in life; getting our financial house and legal papers in order; digital decluttering, and even making funeral arrangements. “The podcast is a platform to bring these topics into the light of day, to get clear on what is baffling or confronting, learn new things, get in action and get things done!” says Passoff. “Next-level” clutter cleaning is a profound opportunity for seniors. It is an opportunity to invigorate one’s life and make room for what matters”, she says.

After establishing himself as a musician’s musician in his native Omaha, Nebraska, jazz saxophonist Jeremy Carter – weary of the freezing midwestern winters – relocated to the Tampa Bay area in 2001. It didn’t take long for the accomplished-in-multiple-styles player to make his name here in a similar fashion. Carter is today’s guest on the Arts Alive! podcast. He talks about what it takes to make a living as a professional musician. “I wear just about every hat in the bin, out of necessity,” he explains. When Covid-19 took live performances off the menu, “just to stay relevant, you start teaching, you start doing internet stuff, podcasting, collaborating with other people, recording … you get pretty versatile and creative.” Carter and his quartet have a gig Saturday night at the Side Door Cabaret, the intimate space inside St. Pete’s Palladium Theater. The program is called Pure Imagination. He’s played dozens of shows at this venue, each focusing on a different style, or a different jazz artist. But Carter takes jazz, so called, into all sorts of unique locales. This set’s title comes from the theme song for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. “Throughout the entire show – it’s more than just that one song – I’m using arrangements from friends of mine … it’s a pool, it’s really like a gumbo of creativity. It’s something people will want to go see.” #jeremycarter #billDeYoung #stpetecatalyst #sidedoor #palladium #tampanay #radio #radiostpete

In this interview, RadioStPete.comINSIDER news director Nanette Wiser introduces Roy Peter Clark's podcast. In addition to hosting talks at Tombolo Books and teaching at The Poynter Institute, Clark's new book club at Book + Bottle starts June 25@6pm with Murder Your Darlings, his book that looks at writing advice from Aristotle to Zinsser. https://roypeterclark.com/books/ By some accounts, Roy Peter Clark is America’s writing coach, devoted to creating a nation of writers. A PhD in medieval literature, he is widely considered the most influential writing teacher in the rough-and-tumble world of newspaper journalism. With a deep background in traditional media, Clark has illuminated the discussion of writing on the internet. He has gained fame by teaching writing to children and has nurtured Pulitzer Prize-winning authors such as Thomas French and Diana K. Sugg. He is a teacher who writes and a writer who teaches.   For more than three decades, Clark has taught writing at the Poynter Institute, a school for journalists in St. Petersburg, Florida, considered among the most prominent such teaching institutions in the world. He graduated from Providence College with a degree in English and earned his PhD from Stony Brook University. In 2017 he received an honorary degree from PC and delivered the commencement address to cap the school’s centennial celebration. In 1977 Clark was hired by the St. Petersburg Times (now the Tampa Bay Times) as one of America’s first writing coaches and with the American Society of Newspaper Editors to improve newspaper writing nationwide. He has taught writer at news organizations, schools, businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies in more than forty states and on five continents. Among his clients at Poynter: The New York Times, the Washington Post, national Public Radio, USA Today, CNN, Gannett, Microsoft, IBM, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Disney, AAA, the World Bank, and countless colleges and universities. He has appeared on Today and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Clark has authored or edited twenty books about writing, reading, language, and journalism. Humorist Dave Barry has said of him: “Roy Peter Clark knows more about writing than anybody I know who is not currently dead.” He plays keyboard in a rock band. He lives with his family in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he has become famously fond of pelicans. TELL IT LIKE IT IS By Roy Peter Clark: America’s favorite writing coach returns with a guide to writing clearly and honestly in a world full of lies, propaganda, and misinformation. The darker and more dystopian the future appears, the more influential public writers become. But with so much content vying for our attention, and so much misinformation and propaganda polluting public discourse, how can writers break through the noise to inform an increasingly busy, stressed, and overwhelmed audience? In Tell It Like It Is, bestselling author, writing coach, and teacher Roy Peter Clark offers a succinct and practical guide to writing with clarity, honesty, and conviction. By analyzing stellar writing samples from a diverse collection of public writers, Clark highlights and explains the tools journalists, scientists, economists, fact-checkers, even storytellers use to engage, inform, and hook readers, and how best to deploy them in a variety of contexts. In doing so, he provides answers to some of the most pressing questions facing writers today: How do I make hard facts—about pandemics, wars, natural disasters, social justice—easy reading?How do I get readers to pay attention to what they need to know? How do I help contribute to a culture of writing that combats misinformation and propaganda? How do I instill hope into the hearts and minds of readers? With Clark’s trademark wit, insight, and compassion, Tell It Like It Is offers a uniquely practical and engaging guide to public writing in unprecedented times—and an urgently needed remedy for a dangerously confused world. #roypeterclark #nanettewiser #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #writing #book+bottle #poynter #author #murderyourdarlings #tellitlikeitis

It’s the changing of the guard. Today’s Arts Alive! podcast pairs Bob Devin Jones and Erica Sutherlin of The Studio @620. Los Angelino Jones founded St. Petersburg’s independent arts and performance incubator/space 20 years ago and has been an integral part of the city’s arts scene the entire time. Next week, he’s retiring as artistic director and handing the keys to Sutherlin, his chosen successor. She is a writer, actor, director and producer with a lengthy resume of theater, TV and film work. Sutherlin taught at the Pinellas County Center for the Arts, earned an MFA in Film and Television Production from the University of Southern California, then came back to St. Pete. Most recently, Sutherlin directed American Stage’s Ragtime and the freeFall production of Nollywood Dreams. In this conversation, the two of them lay out the details of their mutual admiration society. Jones, for his part, says that when Sutherlin offered to “throw her hat into the ring” once he stepped down, he told her “There is no ring. You’re it.” Sutherlin also talks about her plans for The Studio’s future, walking in Bob Devin Jones’ footsteps, and maintaining his legacy. #bobdevinjones #ericasutherlin #studio@620 #americanstage #freefalltheatre #billdeyoung #stpetecatalyst #artsalive #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

There are just three days left to see the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown at St. Petersburg’s freeFall Theatre. It’s a co-production with ThinkTank Theatre, from Tampa. On today’s edition of the Arts Alive! podcast, we speak with Cameron Kubly, a longtime bay area musical theater performer, who’s playing Charlie Brown in the circa-1967 show based on Charles M. Schulz’ beloved Peanuts characters. Charlie Brown sings and philosophizes – as only Peanuts characters can – alongside Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder and even Snoopy. Others from the Peanuts universe complete the ensemble. Also in the studio is Georgia Mallory Guy, founder of ThinkTank and the director of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. She discusses the show, the collaboration, and her company’s mission – which includes nurturing and encouraging young theater performers in hopes they’ll fall in love with it and choose it as a career. As she, Kubly and others in the Charlie Brown cast and crew did. #stpetecatalyst #artsalive #billdeyoung #goodmancharliebrown #tampabay #radio #georgiamallory #cameronkubly #radiostpete

RadioStPeteINSIDER news director Nanette Wiser chatted with Linsey Grove, CEO HypatiaCollaborative.co about their work with non-profits, grants and an upcoming cohort of ten local non-profits (soon to be named) who will be mentored by their talented team, supporting the city's health equity initiative. Managing, planning, strategy and how to find and manager grants were just a few of the topics we touched on. "We believe in creating nonprofit operational and administrative capacity to address community inequities," says Grove.  Here's what's going on:  The new Shared Services Organization (SSO) program will be a three-year pilot and will provide eligible nonprofit organizations in St. Pete with key administrative services and support that will help them build capacity and scale their work in the community. The Hypatia Collaborative plans to use these funds to connect its nonprofit clients with local consultants to help scale and support their organization and mission. Nonprofit organizations that serve residents in St. Pete will be eligible to apply for these free capacity-building and support services, including: Grant writing Accounting Marketing Legal support Strategic planning Program evaluation The Shared Services Organization will launch on May 15, 2024, at an informational kick-off event, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Thrive DTSP (136 4th St. N. Suite 201). Attendees can park in the City Hall parking lot on 2nd Ave. N. or in adjacent street parking. The event will also be live-streamed on Hypatia's YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@HypatiaCollab). "I'm excited to see that the SSO model offers a creative and collaborative approach to address the hurdles encountered by small nonprofits. By enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and impact, it contributes to the overall advancement of the nonprofit sector," said Hypatia CEO, Dr. Linsey Grove. “Our goal is to build real capacity in BIPOC-led and serving nonprofits in St. Petersburg to increase equity in the philanthropic sector and address community needs with community assets.” The SSO is part of the overall ARPA Coordinated Social Services/HUBs project umbrella that allocated over $8 million in funding using a two-prong approach: Establish a series of Community Support Hubs in the city Provide administrative backbone and capacity-building services through an SSO to support the nonprofits serving residents through the Hubs, as well as other community nonprofits doing impactful work in the community. More information about the SSO project and the Hypatia Collaborative can be found at hypatiacollaborative.co. About ARPA As of May 2021, $45 million in ARPA State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds has been budgeted to continue the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to help drive an equitable recovery for residents most impacted by COVID-19. More information about ARPA funding in St. Pete can be found at stpete.org/ARPA.  MORE BACKGROUND According to the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg’s 2018 Nonprofit Assessment Report, approximately 82% of Pinellas nonprofits have assets of less than $10,000. Of the approximately 6,200 nonprofits in Pinellas County, only 1,004 have assets of more than $10,000. According to the report, these numbers demonstrate a financial capacity smaller than the national average. Almost 40% of nonprofit respondents stated that their annual operating budget was less than $250,000. For many of these nonprofits, their main source of funding is government sources; administrative capacity is critical to these sources of funding as they require extensive effort in applying, administering, monitoring, and reporting. These efforts are typically funded by administrative fees, indirect expenses, and overhead built into grants; limits on overhead and indirect expenses are common for these contracts if allowed at all. However, many government contracts often do not pay the true value of the services nonprofits provide.  Almost 35% of nonprofits reported that less than 15% of their revenue is unrestricted. Over 70% of respondents stated that they would like to see an increase in unrestricted funding as the top way to increase the capacity of their nonprofit. Additionally, 42% of nonprofits reported that over the last three years, they did not meet their fundraising goals. Almost three-quarters of respondents stated that the majority of their gifts in the past 24 months were less than $5,000 and over half were unable to recruit donors at $5,000 and above on an annual basis.  Respondents overwhelmingly ranked fundraising and grant writing as their greatest need with marketing and communications, and technology and infrastructure following. Without these unrestricted funds, many nonprofits struggle with meeting their administrative needs (like grant writing) as well as planning and implementing new, innovative programming. #grants #hypatiacollaborative.co #linseygrove #smallbusiness #nonprofits #stpetersburg #healthequity #grants  #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete  #nanettewiser

Ill-Behaved Women is a newsletter, community space, and podcast celebrating women who have made and who are making history. Because history is already littered with the untold stories of women. L.L. Kirchner is a podcast host, a voracious reader, unabashed feminist, fangirl, novelist, and author of a lot of stories about women (including my own in the form of two memoirs). Her most recent book, Florida Girls, is a romp back in time with a troupe of swimsuit models on a war bond tour who take on the Florida mafia. "Between you and me, it’s a vehicle for exploring the issues that have faced women for years," says Kirchner. But what is ill-behaved? Because this is my space, I get to define it. I sure as hell don’t want other people to defining it for me. It’s a regular check-in about unforgettable women you may or may not have heard of, in the news, in books, in history, and in must-watch big and small screen moments.  In Episode 2 she takes on SCOTUS who upheld access to mail order mifepristone. Before you marvel at the fact that Brett Kavanaugh had to write that opinion— what I wouldn’t have given to watch him do that— the ruling was based on a technicality, whereby it was deemed that the doctors who brought the suit weren’t impacted in any way by its outcome. She also has a few things to say about Martha Alito, Marjorie Green and a host of other deplorable or fabulous women in this month's hall of fame/shame.

ACT was created to serve under-served, at-risk students and communities. While that is still at the root of what we do, and will always be a focus, we have now grown and extended our reach to serving various communities and students, including our intent to be inclusive and provide equitable access to high level arts education for all students. Building self-esteem, confidence, and connections with peers and mentors are all pivotal in building strengths of our youth and also the future of our communities. Founded in 2012, with headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, ACT offers world-class training and performance opportunities in Music, Theater, Dance, Film, Art, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship. ACT is dedicated to serving under-served and at-risk communities, using the arts as a catalyst to prepare students for high school graduation, higher education, and the workforce. 84% of our scholarships are awarded to underprivileged students.  Many of our students have cultivated their gifts and talents in the performing arts and have gone on to the likes of Berklee College of Music and Otterbein University and have established careers in television, film, the music entertainment industry, and Broadway.  In 2012, two creative thought leaders, Alex Harris and Herbert Murphy, founded the Arts Conservatory for Teens. Harris and Murphy together have more than 40 years of experience in the arts, youth development, and philanthropy. Seeing a need in the local community for teens (use of opiates, crime, school dropout, lack of adequate access to opportunities to excel), the two men developed a curriculum that has a strong appeal with teenagers providing programming that is fun, educational, empowering, and culturally enriching. The model developed by Harris and Murphy is not your typical after school program — it is unique, innovative, and life changing. Since its inception, Arts Conservatory for Teens has helped to change over 5000 middle and high school students’ and families’ lives. #stpetecatalyst #catalyst #ACT #artsconservatoryforteens #Tanyaruble-richter #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

Our guest on today’s Arts Alive! podcast is Katherine Pill, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg. The conversation covers the MFA’s place in our “city of the arts” – constructed on Beach Drive in 1965, it was St. Pete’s very first art museum, and has continued to innovate, and keep pace with all those that have come after. Pill, who joined the Museum of Fine Arts staff in 2013, also goes into details about the current exhibition, Never the Same Song. Lizzi Bougatsos (from New York) and Lonnie Holley (Georgia), artists who present found materials in unique, interpretive ways, collaborated on the one-of-a-kind exhibit. Of Holley, who was present at the opening and will return (with and without Bougatsos) for additional events, Pill remarks: “He creates narratives with these objects. He has an entire visual lexicon, and everything is so symbolically important.” "BillDeyoung #stpetecatalyst #artsalive #katherinepill #MFA #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

In this interview segment Karen Carmichael chats with Susana Darwin about the success of her short film Flag Act.  After many years working in politics, the law, and publishing, Susana Darwin joyfully returned to her early passion for film when she put her narrative short Hatboxes into production. That award-winning film appeared in 15 film festivals and conferences worldwide. In 2016, Susana produced For the World: The Montessori School of Englewood, a documentary short about a school on Chicago’s South Side. Susana moved with her wife in 2018 to St. Petersburg, Florida, an exceptionally film-supportive city. Joining a writer/actor group made Susana part of a network of talented people who have contributed directly to the launch of her award-winning short film Longer in 2019. In 2023, Susana released Flag Act, which she wrote and directed. “With anti-democratic impulses on the rise,” she says, “the majority of us who believe in democracy need a boost of courage, and a hearty laugh never hurts. People gasp aloud at how timely Flag Act is.” Susana is also currently at work on several short and feature-length screenplays and a novel, in addition to creations in other forms of visual art. Her other passions include aloha shirts, fat novels, political organizing, and outdoor music festivals.

RadioStPeteINSIDER news director Nanette Wiser spoke with the distinguished and gracious St. Petersburg Chief of Police, Anthony Holloway about police mentoring and local youth programs funded and supported by the City and his department. He told us that youth programs are more than fun and games, they are a way to support positive behaviors, give young people the opportunity to pursue their passions (sports, but also arts, and STEM) that might not be available to them, and foster positive relationships between the police and young people of all ages. This is not just a summer mission, it’s a year-round commitment. https://police.stpete.org/ YOUTH PROGRAMS - BACKGROUND SPPD has received the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant three times and has funded programs to provide positive activities for youth with a foundation of education by removing economic barriers for participation while diverting them from potential criminal activity. Their projects involve collaboration and serve youth in a proactive rather than a reactive manner, while reinforcing positive ongoing relationships among youth, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations. Creating community-based positive opportunities for youth reduces juvenile crime and victimization while enhancing community safety, and quality-of-life issues.  Our prior project was featured in the “Spotlight” of the COPS Office publication for funded partners and received national recognition. SPPD’s prior projects have included educational stipends for graduating high school seniors who were selected by their principals for their excellent character, hard-working nature (extracurricular activities and outside employment) and need for a little extra support due to various challenges.  These students enjoyed a day of engagement with SPPD (forensics, training, K-9s) and then got to meet the Chief.  The grant also supported partnerships with six grassroot anti-violence organizations and religious organizations focusing on youth. In the following year, the project included support for twenty non-profit youth sports leagues and additional assistance to defray field costs in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Department.  Additional youth sports events were held in partnership with the Tampa Bay Rays to increase access and participation in softball geared for at-risk girls.  The grant also supported a summer and school-term tutoring project for youth participating in the St. Petersburg Police Athletic League. 2023-2024 In the current grant (ending 9/30/24) , SPPD was funded the full $175,000 to increase exposure to the arts, while providing educational mentorship.  We are partnering with The Shirley Proctor Puller Foundation to assist transitioning middle school students to excel in high school and provide clarity about career paths with an innovative curriculum.  To ensure youth have a variety  of opportunities to participate, we are supporting (1) art education fields trips through the Bill Edwards Foundation, (2) educational materials for after-school programs for Title 1 children at Great Explorations, (3) scholarships for students to attend art camp at the Morean Arts Center, and (4) staff support to increase youth participation in performance arts and liaison support with the schools through Arts Conservatory for Teens.  We will also provide funding to the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum, Inc for youth related education. Chief Holloway told us they are in the process of applying for a fourth year of funding with a project focused on STEM and workforce readiness for St. Petersburg youth. BUT THERE’S MORE In addition, through their partnership with Gulf Coast JFCS and the CALL program – nonviolent and noncriminal youth related calls are diverted to trained social workers and a specialized Youth Engagement Specialist who responds and follows up with families to link with services. SPPD also regularly receives funding from organizations like AAA to support bike safety rodeos and safety equipment giveaways (helmets, locks, lights). #stpetersburgpolice #cityofstpetersburg #anthonyholloway #chiefanthonyhollaway #youthprograms #fundingyouthprograms #gooddeeds #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #splja2024 

In September 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall, as a Category 4, at Sanibel Island on Florida’s southwestern coast. Between the 120 miles-per-hour winds and the 12-foot storm surge, the tiny barrier island didn’t stand a chance. Homes and businesses were either destroyed or severely damaged, numerous people drowned, and a section of the causeway linking Sanibel to the mainland was literally blown away, making it difficult for first responders and law enforcement to assess and assist. New York Times bestselling novelist Randy Wayne White, a resident of Sanibel, “rode out” the storm. On today’s Arts Alive! podcast, White says he did it, for the most part, to observe and take notes. He wanted to find out what it felt like in the middle of a tropical cyclone, a natural occurrence that he says only becomes a disaster when man is involved. He also confesses he probably shouldn’t have done it. Nearly two years later, the Sanibel home he shares with his wife isn’t completely rebuilt yet. They’ve been living a nomadic life, in various parts of the state, until they get the green light. Should be soon, he explains. White has just published One Deadly Eye, the 27th book in his series about brilliant marine biologist (and global bad guy-buster) Marion “Doc” Ford. This time, it’s personal. The hurricane that pulverizes Dinkin’s Bay, Doc Ford’s longtime home base, is never given a name in One Deadly Eye. It simply exists, and it’s the book’s major character, even though Ford is, as always, the protagonist. He, too, rides out the storm – and then must contend with a ruthless band of Russian mercenaries, whose plan is to descend on the island in the immediate wake of the storm, before any police can get out there safely. Once ensconced, they’ll rob the area’s more expensive homes, where there’s valuable artwork and other prizes for the plucking. And if some innocents get hurt, well that’s just too bad. On the podcast, White discusses Ian, Florida, the insurance business, hurricanes past … and how he skillfully crafted fiction from fact for One Deadly Eye. He’ll sign books in St. Pete this weekend: Sunday (June 2), 12-3 p.m. at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, Jungle Terrace; Monday (June 3) 12-3 p.m. at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, St. Pete Pier; 7 p.m. Monday at Coastal Creative/Tombolo Books (info here). #randywaynewhite #artsalive #billdeyoung #stpetecatalyst #docford #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

HISTORYically St. Pete with Rui Farias is a weekly conversation where the St. Petersburg Museum of History executive director explores the truths, and myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years and we are happy to share those stories with you here on this podcast. The late “Godfather of Soul” James Brown, who played the Manhattan Casino back in the day, sang in 1966 that “It’s a man's, man's, world”. But maybe not so much here in the Sunshine City. Today we’re going to look at the roles women played in the history of growth of St. Petersburg.  Today’s guest is Jessy Breckenridge, the Archives & Collections Manager for the Museum of History, and curated one of the museum’s most popular exhibits, Meddling – The Women Who Built St. Pete. Somewhere between preserving and protecting our city’s rich history and helping hundreds of residents and researchers discover treasures in our archives, Jessy found the time to curate Meddling, and while doing so, uncovered quite a bit of untold St. Pete history about the pioneering women (business owners, doctors, lawyers and wives/mothers) who helped grow the city and were ahead of their time.  They talk about how individual women accomplished amazing feats here in St. Pete but more importantly, how their collaboration and connections steered the path of the city at the early women’s clubs, were much more than just afternoon tea. The history of women’s suffrage, the marches and the protests, is explored and Jessy talks about the struggle for the women’s right to vote in St. Pete.  Stop by the Museum of History and to see Medding – The Women Who Built St. Pete, and five other galleries of St. Pete history. The Museum is located on the St. Pete Pier and is open seven days a week. https://spmoh.com/ #history #ruifarias #stpetersburgmuseumofhistory #HISTORYicallystpete #sunshinecity #floridahistory #stpetersburghistory #womensrights #stpetewomen #womenwhobuiltstpete #meddlingwomen # Jessy Breckenridge #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #splja2024

HISTORYically St. Pete with Rui Farias is a weekly conversation where the St. Petersburg Museum of History executive director explores the truths, and myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years and we are happy to share those stories with you here on this podcast. Two months ago, a giant cargo vessel struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, toppling the bridge and killing six construction workers. This made national news of course, but here in St. Pete, for us long-time residents, it took us immediately back to the morning of May 9, 1980. To provide some perspective, history and unknown facts is Bill DeYoung.  https://www.billdeyoung.com/ Bill is a St. Pete native, a nationally-recognized journalist, and author of numerous books, including: Skyway – The True Story of Tampa Bay’s Signature Bridge and the Man Who Brought it Down. Rui and Bill talk about what happened May 9, 1980, the media portrayal at the time, vilification of the captain and the human stories behind the Skyway Bridge disaster as well as some of the lessons learned from the Skyway Collapse and impacts we see today in bridge repairs, prevention and maritime policies. https://spmoh.com/ #history #skywaybridgedisaster #ruifarias #billdeyoung #stpetersburgmuseumofhistory #HISTORYicallystpete #sunshinecity #floridahistory #stpetersburghistory

RadioStPete.com INSIDER news director Nanette Wiser had the pleasure of taking with one of St. Pete’s distinguished young leaders, Dr. Byron Green-Calisch.  We chatted about St. Pete Pride and his non-profit organization Justice Over Everything. The St. Pete Pride month-long festival is back in its full splendor celebrating its 22nd anniversary year led by one of the most diverse boards in the organization’s history. Dr. Byron Green-Calisch, business owner/consultant, LGBTQ+ advocate, and president is the first black president for Florida’s largest Pride celebration. “Being the first Black president is indeed a big deal,” he says. “I also want to acknowledge that we have further to go!”  https://www.stpetepride.org/  Dr. Green-Calisch and Michele K. Rayner Esq. founded Justice Over Everything, a social justice center that recognizes that saving individuals from the burning house only saves one person at a time. To truly foster change, we must confront the inferno that is our justice system. This involves enlightening citizens about the profound effects of policies and legislation on their daily existence, championing those ensnared in the justice system, and advocating for change rooted in the lived experiences of our community. Their mission? "We can no longer wait for the "saviors." We are who we have been waiting for; it's time for us to take care of each other! We are a group of lawyers, educators, and organizers committed to representing, educating, and mobilizing our community with an intersectional approach. We recognize that all of our freedom is bound to each other. We aim to dismantle systemic injustices, empower individuals, and create a fair and equitable society for all. Justice Over Everything operates in three distinct areas: litigation, legislation, and education. We believe this wrap-around approach not only engages the Tampa Bay community but shows up when we are needed and advocates for the changes to prevent folks from ever needing us." From legislation (white papers, policy positions, lobbying) to education and training, they help lawyers and non-profit leaders learn how to effectively make a difference for those often disenfranchised and overlooked including immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community. #justiceovereverything #blacklivesmatter #LGBTQ+ #immigrations #equalrights #social justice #stpetepride  #nanettewiser #drbyrongreencalisch #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

RadioStPeteINSIDER news director Nanette Wiser is an organizational nerd, so she was thrilled to interview Michelle Passoff, the author of LIGHTEN UP! Free Yourself From Clutter (HarperPerennial). Passoff is launching a podcast monthly on RadioStPete.com Decluttering 55+. will be offering online and in person information seminars on how to downsize everything from your conventional clutter (garage, closets, drawers) to next-level clutter (thoughts, eating habits, exercise regimes, computer/digital/photos). Passoff has been a clutter consultant since 1991 and has led seminars and workshops on letting go of too much ’stuff’ as a life management tool throughout the U.S., U.K. and Australia. Historically, Michelle has said that it is neither good nor bad to have clutter, but that cleaning it when you are ready opens space to clarify and achieve goals.  If you are not ready her best advice has been to go to the beach instead.  For the 55+ community, her words of ‘wisdom’ are different: Ready Or Not, she says. Her point of view is that cleaning clutter in the mature years of your life will invigorate it and set the stage to create a legacy, not a mess.  She is currently researching and writing a book that is intended to compel folks to come out from behind the veil, address what may have been overlooked or avoided and clarify the road ahead so that peace prevails. Michelle is currently a public speaker, workshop leader. and private clutter consultant. For many years, she owned an estate sale company  in Tampa Bay, Florida with her husband, artist Andre Kupfermunz, and prior to that was a publicist in New York City.

RadioStPete.com INSIDER correspondent Jordan Kalajian is a soccer fan, and interviews Tampa Bay Rowdies Christian Ortiz who grew up in Tampa Bay. Striking the crowds by surprise, a new player has been introduced to the beloved Tampa Bay Rowdies soccer team. Christian Ortiz, forward, is making waves in the bay after scoring as a substitute in the team’s 4-1 victory over Major League’s CF Montréal. He has already appeared in four preseason matches this year since signing his first contract in March as an USL academy player. Ortiz recently turned 17 in April and has become the first Tampa Bay Rowdies player to sign a pro contract with the club having previously competed as a USL Academy signing. Ortiz is originally from White Plains, New York, but has spent much of his youth growing up in Port Richey, Florida and playing for Florida Premier FC. This is an incredible opportunity not just for Ortiz, but for the entire community. The Rowdies are committed to nurturing young talent in the area and aim to keep growing and giving back. Playing professional soccer provides young athletes with invaluable experience, instills a strong sense of discipline, and inspires the next generation to pursue their dreams both on and off the field. Cheers to the beginning of an extraordinary journey! https://www.rowdiessoccer.com/ #jordankalajian #christianortiz #sports #tampabayrowdies #soccer #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

Collectively, Alejandro Arenas and Ona K are Orilla.  A Spanish word meaning “shoreline,” it’s the ideal name for the musical duo whose influences originate across the globe, those places where vast oceans and firm borders blur and come together. He is the bassist for La Lucha, the Tampa Bay jazz trio known for eradicating boundaries, expanding the vocabulary and effortlessly expressing the cool. His native country is Colombia. A singer and songwriter originally from the Catalan region of Spain, she is as fearless as she is talented, eager to make music that defies easy categorization yet remains honest – and appealing. Orilla’s music is, in a way, rooted in jazz, but as the region’s only bass-and-vocal duo, it’s even more adventurous than what some people think of as jazz. Today on the Arts Alive! podcast, Alejandro and Ona talk about their beginnings, their evolution and – most importantly – why they do what they do (hint: like a lot of artists, it’s something just beyond easy explanation). They also discuss Saturday’s performance at The Studio@620. It’s called Con Alma, which means “With Soul.” Yet another appropriate tag for the music they make. #orilla #alejandroarenas #onaK #billdeyoung #artsalive #stpetecatalyst #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

Historically St. Pete with Executive Director Rui Farias, St. Petersburg Museum of History speaks with author, baseball scholar and long-time Vice President of Communications for the Devil Rays and Tampa Bay Rays, Rick Vaughn in this second podcast, airing weekly on RadioStPete.com. They chatted about baseball in Tampa Bay, St. Pete and l Lang (the man!). Says Rick: "Since 1913, Tampa has provided the background for some of the Major League Baseball’s most iconic spring moments led, of course, by the longest home run of Babe Ruth’s career. Tampa was the scene of the Grapefruit League’s first no-hitter and the only spring time All-star Game. It was the first gathering place of the Big Red Machine and the Core Four. Well over 125 Hall of Famers honed their craft among the city’s three major league ballparks: Plant Field, Al Lopez Field and Steinbrenner Field.  All of it resulted from a diverse city’s love of the game that began with baseball-crazed cigar factory workers before the turn of the 20th century. Author Rick Vaughn uncovers the stories that kept Tampa’s passion for the National Pastime burning, while churning out 90 major league players beginning with the city’s favorite son, El Senor, Al Lopez in 1928."

Digital Flotsam was originally created by RadioStPete volunteer P.W. Fenton. It appeared for several years nationally on Sirius Satellite Radio. We are proud to offer these great spoken word pieces again. #digitalflotsam #pwfenton #noplacelikehome #tampabay #radio #radiostpete  This week we hear one of those stories that sounds too perfect to be! 

As the Dali Museum’s Curator of Education, Peter Tush is the person who decides how the works of the Surrealist master, and of the other artists on exhibition alongside Dali, should be “interpreted” for the public. He trains the museum’s docents, writes the audio tours and the gallery labels, arranges school programming and gives talks – lots of talks – about each exhibit as it debuts. Tush works closely with the exhibit curators as every new show is in development. In this Arts Alive! podcast interview, the question is put to him: How does one “explain” Surrealism, which by its very nature defies simple interpretation? Luckily, Tush not only has a sense of humor, he knows exactly the right way to answer such an open-ended query. “Dahlia,” from Flora Dalinae, 1968, aquatint and hard-ground etching with pochoir; Collection of the Dali Museum, St. Petersburg, FL.. “We try to make (visitors) understand that there was a rational approach to the world at one point, and this movement called Surrealism challenged that. And really thought that the irrational was a big part of who we are – and we need to have that in order to be balanced people.” He’ll begin there, Tush says, and then go ever-so-carefully down the many rabbit holes of the Spanish icon’s life and career. The museum has a new exhibition opening Saturday. Reimagining Nature: Dali’s Floral Fantasies is a collection of 1968-72 works-on-paper from the permanent collection, in which Dali has transformed existing prints of plants and flowers into images that bring them decidedly out and in front of the natural world: They become faces, arms, legs, hands, feet. Eggs over easy and phonograph records. “I really, firmly believe that Dali was wired different,” Tush says. “He has this quote that’s in the show: ‘To see is to invent.’ And I think he took it very seriously through his whole life, that he saw things differently and he developed the capacity to share that vision with others. Things that they would not see.” Petertush #billdeYoung #dali #dalimuseum #artsalive #stpetecatalyst #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #stpete #stpetefl

In this week’s episode of Passion Struck, John Miles interviews Gretchen Rubin on Why the Key To Happiness Is Knowing Yourself the Importance of Outer Order Inner Calm.  Gretchen Rubin is an expert on understanding human nature and being able to explain complex emotional topics in easy-to-digest ways. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Happiness Project, Better Than Before, Outer Order Inner Calm, and The Four Tendencies. Gretchen has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold almost three and a half million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages. THE KEY TO HAPPINESS IS KNOWING YOURSELF On her popular weekly podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, she discusses good habits and happiness with her sister Elizabeth Craft; they’ve been called the “Click and Clack of podcasters.” Fast Company named Gretchen to its list of Most Creative People in Business, and she’s a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. She’s been interviewed by Oprah, walked arm-in-arm with the Dalai Lama, and eaten dinner with Daniel Kahneman. Gretchen Rubin explains, “I definitely think there’s a very important role for negative experiences. Sometimes people sort of act as if you’re thinking about how to be happier that you aim to have a perfectly happy life where you’re at a ten on the one to ten scale 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that is not possible, and that would not even be a good life because obviously there are many times when we want to feel sorrow, and grief and regret and guilt and righteous indignation and a whole host of negative emotions. Negative emotions are very important because they’re like the big flashing warning sign that something needs to change.” ABOUT JOHN R. MILES John Miles, author of Passion Struck and a motivational speaker, appears on RadioStPete every Tuesday at 6pm and his podcast archive is on RadioStPete.com on the Podcast/Blog page and on his website https://passionstruck.com Check out his life-changing book, Passion Struck available at in St. Pete at  Tombolo Books and online.  #JohnRMiles #PassionStruck #Live Life Better  #passionstruck #johnrmiles #johnmiles #nicolestott #tampabay #radio #radiostpete  #greenbenchjune2024

RadioStPete.com INSIDER news director Nanette Wiser interviewed Gina Wilkins, the Founder and CEO of Kind Mouse Productions Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 assisting local families in transition and their chronically hungry children. In 2012, Gina was a self-employed certified architectural draftsman. With the decline in the economy she saw many of her friends and peers fall into financial despair. These hardworking career people were too prideful to ask for help and eventually lost their homes and businesses. Gina, wanting to help her proud friends, saw a need to assist these displaced families and to also feed the hungry children of her neighborhood. Since that time, Gina is proud to say the Kind Mouse has fed over millions of chronically hungry little tummies since it’s birth and has served many families experiencing job loss. Gina is extremely grateful to the community for their support for The Kind Mouse and the Kind Mouse volunteers. As she likes to say, “It takes a large litter to run THIS Mouse.”  A brainchild of Gina’s is The Kind Mouse Outreach Programs – Mice In Training and Mice Interns. “KMKids Feeding Kids” where chidren from ages 5 through 18 learn leadership, how to operate a nonprofit and run two boards. These students are the next generation of the Kind Mouse. Gina is a 7 year member of Angels Against Abuse, a 9 year member of The Rainmakers Business Networking Group, a 2 year member of The St Pete Women’s Chamber of Commerce, and a 1 year member of Woman’s Service League and St. Anthony’s Auxiliary. She has recently joined Boley Angels and Queen of Hearts . She was a 4 year member of BNI and a 7 year member of Northeast Exchange Club where she served 2 years on the board.

Situated on E. Henderson Avenue, where Tampa means Ybor City, LAB Theatre Project is a black box venue where only original works – plays that have not been previously produced – are mounted. LAB founder and executive producer Owen Roberston returns to the Arts Alive! podcast today, in the company of actress Mandy Keen. They both appear in the LAB production of Fly Away Home, a drama by Gwendolyn Rice and set in 1914. Robertson plays lauded architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who receives an urgent message during a visit to Chicago. His stately, rural Wisconsin home, he learns, is burning. It’s a torturous six-hour train ride, which Wright must spend in the company of Edwin Cheney, the ex-husband of Wright’s mistress; Cheney happens to be on the same train. Both men are desperate for news of the unfolding disaster, and neither has much respect for the other. Brooks is portrayed by Larry Corwin. This was a true event, although history did not record what the men talked about on the journey. Playwright Rice, an expert on the famously eccentric architect, dramatically fills in the blanks: They are joined by young reporter Mary Evelyn Brooks (Keen), who’s eager to finish up an interview she and Wright had begun in Chicago. All three of these people have secrets they aren’t ready to reveal. Fly Away Home is directed by Katie Calahan; Gwendolyn Rice will attend tonight’s performance (8 p.m.) and participate in an after-show talk-back with cast and audience. #stpetecatalyst #artsalive #billdeYoung #LABTheatreProject #tampabay #radio #radiostpete

John R. Miles Interviews artist and astronaut Nicole Stott - A St. Pete Local Nicole is an astronaut, aquanaut, artist, mom, and now author of her first book Back to Earth ~ What Life In Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet - And Our Mission To Protect It.  She creatively combines the awe and wonder of her spaceflight experience with her artwork to inspire everyone's appreciation of our role as crewmates here on Spaceship Earth. She is a veteran NASA Astronaut with two spaceflights and 104 days as a crewmember on both the International Space Station (ISS) and the Space Shuttle. Personal highlights of her time in space include performing a spacewalk (10th woman to do so), flying the robotic arm to capture the first free-flying HTV, painting a watercolor (now on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum), working with her international crew on science that is all about improving life on Earth, and of course the life changing view of our home planet. She is also a NASA Aquanaut. In preparation for spaceflight she was a crew member on an 18-day saturation dive mission at the Aquarius undersea laboratory. Nicole believes that the international model of peaceful and successful cooperation we have experienced in the extreme environments of space and sea holds the key to the same kind of peaceful and successful cooperation for all of humanity here on Earth. On her post-NASA mission, Nicole is a co-founder of the Space for Art Foundation --- uniting a planetary community of children through the awe and wonder of space exploration and the healing power of art. https://www.npsdiscovery.com/ John Miles, author of Passion Struck and a motivational speaker, appears on RadioStPete every Thursday at 6pm and his podcast archive is on RadioStPete.com on the Podcast/Blog page and on his website https://passionstruck.comWant.

Can a difficult diagnosis create a stronger faith? On November 3, 2022, Mark and Mary Kay Liston went to the ER to treat a nasty cough that Mark had picked up. After hours, the doctor entered the room and gave Mark the somber diagnosis of lung cancer, indicating a ping pong-sized lump in his lung. To Mark, who was a healthy, lifelong non-smoker, the diagnosis was both shocking and confusing. In the following seventy-six days, the author journaled and wrote notes down on all his daily medical interactions, doctor and hospital appointments, and medications given. This meticulous process of fact-finding, coupled with the author's friend-and-family invitation for -- and inclusion of -- twenty-six others' stories of similar life-threatening diagnoses, resulted in the compilation and creation of Diagnosed: Inspirational Stories After an Alarming Medical Diagnosis. The husband-and-wife Liston team divided the book into two different sections: the first section for the twenty-six individuals interviewed who share their diagnosis/recovery stories, and the second section for the authors' own story. Each individual who shared had a different story. Each had survived cancer or another life-altering illness or cared for someone who had. Each one offered special insights. Yet, all are inspirational stories that can help any reader cope with their own possible life-altering diagnosis. Ninety percent of the patients interviewed shared the importance that their faith in God, and prayer, had played in their recovery story as they, along with the author team, all navigated the powerful, healing waters of faith. Mark and Mary Kay Liston are retired franchise executives - both presidents of different franchise companies. Mary Kay is a Navy brat - having grown up on Navy bases throughout the west coast and Japan. She received her undergrad at San Diego State, her hometown, and MBA from Pepperdine. She had five other siblings. Mark grew up in Northern Illinois, got married at 18 and had three kids by the time he was 22. His only brother was 18 years older. He lost his dad while in grade school. Now snowbirds, they spend time with kids and grandkids, and enjoy traveling. They were inspired to write this book after a diagnosis of lung cancer. #cancer #lungcancer #diagnosed #cancerbook #markliston #marykayliston #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #valpak #mollymaid #theglassdoctor

RadioStPete.com INSIDER news director interviewed well-known author and journalist Cathy Salustri, publisher of The Gabber covering Gulfport…and beyond serving South Pinellas County and our Gulf Beaches in Florida including South Pasadena, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, West St. Petersburg, South St. Petersburg, Tierra Verde, Pass-a-Grille, Pinellas Point, Kenneth City, and more!! Her wit and insights into the local community, Florida kitsch and history and a love of arts and culture has assembled a young team of talented writers who deliver the newspaper weekly and a podcast as well. It’s full of events, commentary, pets, news, interviews and what’s happening at the library and senior center, fun to read and full of chatty but pithy content. https://thegabber.com/ About Cathy Salustri from  https://cathysalustri.com/ :  Cathy Salustri works out of Gulfport, Florida, travels across Florida on foot, bike, boat, or car to places the Interstate bypassed long ago, as well as those spots where natural beauty has survived the onslaught of overpopulation. She attended the University of Central Florida, and earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Tampa finding the Florida Studies MLA program at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Cathy has written travel pieces for USA Today, Visit Florida, regional magazines and local press. You can find all her travel writing at the greatfloridaroadtrip.com. Under the guidance of Florida scholar and writer Gary Mormino, Cathy wrote what she calls “possibly the least academic master’s thesis ever,” logging almost 5,000 miles retracing driving tours from the WPA Federal Writer’s Project Guide to the Southernmost State in search of Florida’s forgotten destinations. That work became Backroads of Paradise, a travel narrative about her journeys along Florida’s backroads, published by the University Press of Florida in 2016. In 2017, Cathy and her book appeared in the New York Times. Cathy started freelancing after quitting a government job in a self-described “fit of self-respect” in 2003. Except for a brief few years where she thought she might be suited for office work and thusly took the arts & entertainment editor post at Creative Loafing Tampa, she’s freelanced since then. Her freelance work included 12 years at The Gabber Newspaper, where she covered hyperlocal news and then became the publisher in 2020.  ##nanettewiser #CathySalustri #TheGabber #Gulfport #localnews #tampabay #radio #radiostpete 

RadioStPete.com INSIDER news director interviewed Lisa Reich, CEO of Coastal Wildlife Advocacy Group,  about Sea Turtle Nesting Season, running May 1- October 31. Many groups such as Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Reich patrol the 21 miles of Pinellas County Beaches and we share tips with our listeners on how they can help. Never disturb a sea turtle nest; it’s illegal. (1)Take all your belongings home with you from the beach so these sea turtles don’t run into any obstacles on their way to lay eggs or make their way into the gulf. (2) If you are a hotel guest or live on the beach, pull your shades at night. (3) Do not use a flashlight if you are on the beach at night; use a red or amber (4) If you dig a hole, fill it with sand so the sea turtles don’t become trapped. Knock down sand castles to make the beach safe for turtles. Follow facebook.com/savingwildlifenow.

Stageworks Theatre’s dynamic creative duo, Karla Hartley (Producing Artistic Director) and Heather Krueger (Operations Manager) are today’s guests on the Arts Alive! podcast, to talk about the Tampa professional playhouse’s new show, Our Town. Thornton Wilder’s 1938 play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and has become one of the most-seen American dramas in stage history. Both Hartley (who’s directing) and Krueger (stage managing) discuss the universal themes explored within the confines of Wilder’s small town – Grovers Corners, New Hampshire – and why they continue to resonate down through the generations. The three-act play centers on two families, and in keeping with the times, some of the “at-home” dialogue for one family will be spoken in Spanish, the other in Haitian Creole. During these sections, English translations will be projected over the stage. The rest remains in spoken English. “Nothing about the play has changed,” Hartley explains. “No words in the play have changed – they’re simply in a different language. And we’re definitely living in a time where we need to broaden our perspectives about what theater can be, about what community can be.” #artsalive #stpetecatalyst #billdeyoung #stageworks #stageworkstheatre #tampabay #radio #radiostpete
