This website is singing a new tune. And talking it too. Have you listened yet? Sunny.org has an exciting, innovative feature on the home page and in the “Explore” section. It’s called “Inside 954,” an Internet radio show all about greater Fort Lauderdale. Finding the program is easy. Just click on the little radio icon on the home page. You’ll hear the most recent edition, with the focus on the coming “Summer of Discovery,” as it’s called. Or click on that “Explore” icon, then look for “podcasts” in the right–hand column. Just open the podcasts tab to find two earlier programs on the demise of spring break and the transformation of this area into a chic, upscale destination for adults.
In these first few shows, you can check out interviews with none other than the charming, irrepressible Nicki E. Grossman, who’s president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. When I worked at the Sun-Sentinel newspaper here in town, Nicki was loved by reporters as a public official who was both friendly to the press corps and actually had something to say. In journalist lingo, she was “a quote machine,” meaning she could make her point in clear, concise and interesting language. If you listen to these three programs, you’ll hear what I mean. I enjoyed interviewing her for these shows as much as I liked talking to her back then. And she knows more about the good things in and around Fort Lauderdale than anyone.
I think you’ll have fun hearing some first-hand suggestions about what to do and where to go from those with a real insider’s perspective. That’s why it’s called “Inside 954.” Each show begins and ends with some very hip original theme music, setting the mood with the sophisticated jazzy sound of Fort Lauderdale itself. Best of all, it comes to you for free, available anywhere you can log onto the Web. Listen on this website or download it to your iPod for later. Not a bad deal. So kick back, tune in and enjoy. You might even want to tell some friends about this one.
