Floridation
A podcast about life in Florida hosted by Will and Jon and recorded at Cork Arts District in Jacksonville FL.

Donnaville
Jacksonville’s progressive mayor, Donna Deegan, is an outlier in Florida politics. Obvi, MAGA is gunning for her, but their ideas of waste, fraud and abuse are all a deflection. Donna is Florida’s post-MAGA future.
The Mean Streets of Jacksonville
The racist roadways of Jacksonville and the characters that inhabit them. Will is looking for a dog with a badonkadonk. Bad Playlist Street. Segway suicide. Where did “sharrow” come from? The gang war between cyclists and pedestrians.
Desantisation
A rare recording of the first time Will and Jon tried talking into microphones. They discussed the Florida Governor’s secret $30k golf simulator and how much better corruption is than “waste and abuse.”
MAGA Merica Follows FL
Will and Jon on “the free state of Florida” and Tiny Trump MAGA-ing it up. The boyz ask the hard questions like “Who owns this wild pack of dogs?” and “Do the 100 new laws make us free-er?”
Bad Improvers
Meet the Real Dawg, the amateur wrestler from Lorida, FL, a mermanatee dancer, Temu Batman, and other unbelievable characters in this improv episode.
Florida Cops
Will and Jon snitch on Florida cops. These violent, racist rednecks are hammers while the rest of us are nails. Especially criticizing Jacksonville’s sheriff about the roadside beating of William McNeil Jr.
