In this introductory episode, I’ll explain the purpose behind the project, how it’s produced using artificial intelligence—including a voice clone of me—and why the Sunshine Manual remains essential for anyone concerned with transparency, accountability, and public access to records and meetings in Florida. This isn’t a high-level overview—it’s a master class. We’re following the Manual’s structure page by page, caption by caption, and including every statute, case, and opinion it cites. If you care about public records, open meetings, or just want to understand the legal infrastructure behind government transparency in Florida, this podcast is for you.
