    Host Dave Fiore sits down with Nicole Everett, creator and host of "Conversations with Nicole" — a Tallahassee-based show on YouTube that started as a series of weekly lunches with photos posted on Facebook. It grew into a platform with a Roku channel, a local TV run and an audience that has followed her through every evolution. Nicole has spent most of her adult life in rooms where people needed someone to really listen. Fifteen years at the Tallahassee Lenders Consortium helping first-time homebuyers get mortgage-ready and into their first homes. Seven years at Florida Housing Finance Corporation overseeing three statewide foreclosure programs. And a decade of sit-down conversations that have a way of going places guests never quite expected. She grew up in North Dade County — the first Black family on her block in a neighborhood that turned out to be as diverse in culture as it was in cuisine. FAMU brought her to Tallahassee, but her career and the community she experienced here made it home. "Conversations with Nicole" found her during a quieter season — after her son left for college and she started exploring, taking classes, going to poetry shows and just figuring out what came next. The answer was 10 seasons of the show and counting with episodes that impact the dialog in our community. Dave and Nicole talk about community, mental health, homeownership and what it really means to hold space for people — because for Nicole, the show was never really about production. It was always about the conversation. Show Notes WebsiteLinkedInYouTubeFacebookSpotifyApple Podcast _________________________________ Thanks for listening to Tallahassee's Podcast.

    Host Dave Fiore sits down with Jon Jopling, owner of Real Talk 93.3, Tallahassee's only locally owned FM radio station. Jon has had a lot of different jobs – jazz musician, instrument repair tech, wedding band owner and radio salesman. None of them were part of a plan, and somehow they all connect.

    He grew up in Miami, met his future wife in band at 14, and earned a jazz performance degree at FSU. He spent years building an entertainment company before a chance conversation with a wedding client opened an unexpected door into radio sales. A few years later he was running the station. A few years after that, he bought it.

    In between, he and his wife navigated her cancer diagnosis early in their marriage, years of IVF, and his own cancer scare at 37. Life kept interrupting, and they kept going.

    Dave and Jon talk about music, marriage, what local radio is actually for, and how you end up buying a business you never set out to own.
