Audience members are invited to join host Tom Hudson, Vice Presidents of News for WLRN, along with a panel of Florida Keys journalists and experts, to explore challenges faced by residents in the Florida Keys. Living in the Florida Keys is life in paradise, but it can come at a cost. The Keys struggle to strike a balance between the natural beauty of the archipelago and the demands of life on the islands. Still, the affordability challenges, threat from hurricanes and risk of higher seas can’t dilute the Conch spirit of independence, self-resiliency and individualism.
