Jeff Klinkenberg, author of “Son of Real Florida: Stories From My Life” (University Press of Florida), and I recently sat down for a rambling conversation about the people you’ll meet and the places you’ll go in Florida. Jeff and my wife Mimi worked together at the St. Petersburg Times (and Tampa Bay Times) for many years and you couldn’t ask to meet a more genuine and humble man, or a better reporter. I hope you’ll check out our conversation and buy his latest book! https://youtu.be/Ttf8kpOE028 #Alligators #Author #backwoods #TheBeatles #MurphTheSurf #MiamiHerald #Liberace #SheepsheadGeorge #HaroldPCurtis #MissMartha #SolomonsCastle #PaulHansell #FountainofYouth #crocodiles #Everglades #Floridaculture #FloridaKeys #Gatorama #Gators #HoneyMan #JeffKlinkenberg #manatees #outdoorswriter #Panhandle #RealFlorida #snakes #StPetersburg #StPetersburgTimes #Swamps #TampaBayTimes #FloridaMan #WeirdFlorida #FloriduhMan

Happy Birthday to long-time Tampa Bay Times journalist and Alligators in B-Flat author Jeff Klinkenberg! 2013 VIDEO INTERVIEW

JEFF KLINKENBERG podcast excerpt: “Sometimes I resent a little bit that ‘Weird’ Florida has become the national narrative: hanging chads, flesh-eating zombies, bizarre trailer park crimes. It’s certainly part of Florida culture, but it’s not the whole thing.”

I wasn't dumb. I just didn't get good grades. I wanted to look out the window. I wanted to be somewhere else.

Klink is movin' on. Things will never be the same, but I'm excited to see what he does next.

"Poincianas celebrate the season with red-orange blossoms. Palm trees bend but don't look like they'll break. Find a generous neighbor who has a mango tree. Ninety-two degrees in the shade...Florida's longest season is here."
