In this 15th edition of Top of Mind Florida, veteran journalists Michael Williams and Brian Crowley reflect on why they launched the show and the value of mixing tough political discussion with personal storytelling. They share lighter moments from their careers — from newsroom lessons to campaign trail humor and even a brush with Ronald Reagan — while underscoring why thoughtful conversations still matter.The discussion then turns serious as the hosts examine political decisions, Florida’s ongoing redistricting debates, and the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz.” They highlight how nationalized politics often overshadows local issues like affordability, elder care, and hurricane preparedness. With warmth, wit, and decades of journalistic experience, Michael and Brian deliver a thoughtful and entertaining half-hour that informs while encouraging listeners to think for themselves. #FloridaPolitics #TopOfMindFlorida #PublicAffairsPodcast #FloridaNews #HeadlinesHardQuestionsSummary Bullet PointsMichael Williams & Brian Crowley reflect on launching Top of Mind FloridaMixing humor with serious political and cultural analysisFrom Reagan’s hair to campaign trail anecdotesGovernor DeSantis, redistricting, and Florida politics todayThe Alligator Alcatraz controversy and its implicationsWhy local issues like affordability, elder care, and hurricane prep matter most
