The landscape of Florida's 2026 election just changed, and State Rep. Angie Nixon joins Ryan to drop some big news. The DUUUUUVAL native tells us about her legislation filed to unmask ICE and why she believes she's the right person at the right time to be Florida's next U.S. Senator. We're thankful to Angie for sharing how her experiences shaped the call of duty to public service, and her vision for a state where everyone can truly thrive.

On this week's episode, Ryan is joined by the founder of FloridaPolitics.com (and former boss) Peter Schorsch. It's their first real conversation in years, and they get right into it. Peter offers his thoughts on the current state of Florida journalism and its shortcomings. After years of tense silence, their conversation represents a détente between the two old collaborators.

This week, Jamil Davis joins the show to talk Black voting power in North Florida. He and Ryan go through some of the biggest issues facing Jacksonville, and how Florida's following the gerrymandering lead of Texas. And on the cusp of John Cena's retirement, producer Abdelilah hops on to ask the burning question of our time: is politics just professional wrestling?

Huge thanks to Jamil for coming on! Check out BLKFLA: The Podcast, the cultural archive for the Black political movement in Florida. You can follow on IG at @blkflathepodcast.
