The “Political Animal” is back on the radio airwaves in Tampa, and he’s bringing some company.
Mitch Perry, who earned his nickname while at Creative Loafing Tampa Bay from 2009-2014, will drive the bus for a new 60-minute program that launches on WMNF Tampa 88.5-FM Friday, Jan. 27 at 11:06 a.m. after a news brief from National Public Radio.
After that,
“The Skinny” airs every Friday from 11:06 a.m.-noon on the community radio station where Perry—now back at Florida Phoenix after a stint with Bay News 9—will be joined weekly by Axios Tampa Bay’s Ben Montgomery plus CL’s Ray Roa, with occasional appearances by CL Staff Writer Justin Garcia, Axios’s Selene San Felice, plus guests who’ll discuss the news of the week.
On Friday's show, we’ll introduce ourselves and take calls as we discuss topics like Florida GOP daddy Ron DeSantis and Tampa’s upcoming municipal election.
Join us by tuning your radio to 88.5-FM, hitting the “listen” tab on
wmnf.org or on the
WMNF app.
