About this listen

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

Season 2 focuses on the local art and culture in North Florida when we interview the artists and makers of culture in the region.

Season 1 focused on making fun of Florida politics in 2025.


Started as an excuse to get drunk on a weeknight and record the evidence, Floridation has since become the single most important podcast in American history. Theme music by the late Brian Jerin.
