In Florida, truth is often stranger than fiction and the best stories are the ones that could only happen here.

Florida has always been a land of storytellers.

When you live in a place with hurricanes, gators, and headlines like “Florida Man Fights Off Shark With Mop,” you end up with some pretty wild tales.

From the ancient myths of the Seminole tribe to the legendary exploits of pirates, pioneers, and outlaws, the Sunshine State has been home to history, mystery and a whole lot of questionable decision-making.

With shipwrecks, haunted swamps, and dreamers who may or may not be time travelers, Florida is basically one big folklore factory. Whether stories are whispered around an Everglades campfire, performed on a Miami stage, or headlining the latest Florida Man saga, one thing’s for sure—you can’t make this stuff up.

Got a story that could only have happened in Florida?

We want to record it and share it with the world!

We’re launching a brand-new podcast dedicated to your weird, wild and wonderfully Floridian stories.

Whether you live here - we don’t - or visit for vacation, we want to build an archive of the funniest, silliest, weirdest and scariest stories that could only happen in the Sunshine State.

(Yes, that is a manatee telling a story on a beach. Only in Florida!)
