Ep 152 – Mark Baratelli and Global Peace

Mark Baratelli of The Daily City joins us in studio to talk Orlando Flea, food trucks, small businesses, and the future of Orlando’s food scene. We’re also joined by a local filmmaker, Chris Gebhardt, to discuss why he chose L.A. over Orlando to make his latest short film. Plus the Programming Director of the Global Film Fest, Kelly DeVine, stops by to talk about this year’s festival and how it has an impact on the conscience of Central Florida. This episode has a lot of hard to discuss topics but the mood stays pretty light thanks to the shenanigans and humor.
