All aboard… if you dare. 🚆
On this episode of the Palm and Pine Podcast, we jump headfirst into the controversy surrounding Florida’s high-speed rail system, the Brightline—often dubbed the “death train.” We break down the real numbers, headlines, and hard facts behind what has become one of the most talked-about—and debated—transportation systems in the United States. Is the reputation justified? We dig in.
Then, we trade steel rails for crystal-clear waters as we take you along on an unforgettable paddle down the legendary Rainbow River—starting right at the pristine headspring (the “boil”) and drifting all the way to its confluence with the Withlacoochee River. Old Florida at its finest.
🦇 And for something truly wild—
We give a full behind-the-scenes breakdown of a massive bat conservation project in Marion County, where the Barlow brothers installed a giant bat house capable of hosting over 10,000 bats. Why bats matter more than ever in Florida’s ecosystem—and what you need to know.
🐦 PLUS — Introducing a brand new segment: Bird of the Week!
Featuring one of Florida’s most fascinating species and its role in our changing landscape.
🌸 We also touch on the seasonal beauty of wild azaleas blooming across North Florida and what it signals about the shifting seasons.
