Last week, a state appellate court ordered that a recently leaked grand jury report on Hope Florida be expunged. Does it all go away with no repercussions?
We also speak to a local author about her experience as a caregiver for a mom with dementia and a parent to a son with autism.
The show also features work from two WUSF staffers who were honored in Creative Loafing’s recent “Best of the Bay” contest.
Plus, a museum dedicated to The Beatles reopens this week in a new location in downtown St. Petersburg. We replay a conversation we had in June.
