The Florida court system has led the way in transparency since the 1970s. That’s when the state’s supreme court was the first to allow cameras in the courtroom and in the 1990s became the first state high court to stream oral arguments.

Florida courts remain on the forefront of transparency in the age of social media. Now, the courts are entering into a new arena - podcasting.

Craig Waters, Director of the Florida Supreme Court's public information office and Judge Nina Ashenafi Richardson from Florida's 2nd judicial court join the program to talk about the court's efforts to further transparency across the state.

Brendan Byrne is WMFE's Assistant News Director, managing the day-to-day operations of the WMFE newsroom, editing daily news stories, and managing WMFE's internship program.

Byrne also hosts WMFE's weekly radio show and podcast "Are We There Yet?" which explores human space exploration.
