LIVE FROM THE EVERGLADES, PART ONE
Fresh Art Interview / Everglades National Park Program

South Florida’s subtropical wilderness inspired us to stage a remote radio broadcast from the Everglades. On February 24, 2019, we brought live and pre-recorded conversations with artists, scientists, rangers, educators and Miccosukee activists to a live audience on the porch of the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center. This episode is Part One of the two-hour program we streamed on Jolt Radio.

Voices in Part One (alpha order): Daniel Agudelo, Celeste DePalma, Nathan Fox, Barbara Hedges, Leon Howell, Grant Livingston, Lori Marois, Gustavo Matamoros, Deborah Mitchell, Betty Osceola, Christina Pettersson, Steven Tennis, Adam Thime, Emily Wong.
