Long before Miami became one of the world's most famous cities, it was a remote frontier settlement along the Miami River. In this episode of Tales From South Florida, we explore the lives of William and Mary Brickell, their friendship with Julia Tuttle, their partnership with Henry Flagler, and the events that led to the founding of Miami in 1896.

Henry Flagler could be called Mr. Florida, as without his vision, his drive and his money, how and when Florida developed into an agricultural staple and tourist destination would have been a very different story. His story is Florida's history. Especially South Florida's.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
