Summary

In this episode, Wayne McCarty and Josh Mills kick things off with a round of listener-submitted spooky stories guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

From there, Jesse Nieman debuts a brand new segment , Jesse's Tech Corner, diving deep into the world of underwater internet cables and Miami's legendary NAP station, where a surprising amount of the world's web traffic flows… and where crocodile sharks have been known to snack on the lines themselves.

For the icebreaker, Emily Grabill joins the show for the very first time after completing her online course to become a certified medium. Convinced the FMOFM studio is haunted, Emily reaches out to the spirits within, and what follows is a full-blown ghost roast of the boys.

Each week, the Florida Men on Florida Man podcast blends comedy with the fascinating legends, lore, and history of the wildest state in the union: Florida.
