As you likely know, I semi-regularly guest-host the BradCast for Brad Friedman and Desi Doyen. Today was one of those days. I thought I'd share the interviews I did over the past week or so with the two Democrats who are running to defeat and dethrone Ron DeSantis, Charlie Crist and Nikki Fried. So here they are, back to back. Enjoy! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD TODAY'S SHOW!...

Nicole discusses the news through a range of emotions, from the laughter at Nerd Prom to the cries from Nepal, and everything in between.
