Gary Mormino & Bill Maxwell – Gridiron Glory
Florida historian Gary R. Mormino discusses his article, Gridiron Glory — a deep-dive on the cultural history of football in the Sunshine State. With a personal essay from veteran journalist Bill Maxwell, the story explores Florida’s fervor for football and the game’s connection to some of its growing pains.
Gary R. Mormino is the Frank E. Duckwall Professor Emeritus of History at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. He won the Florida Humanities 2015 Florida Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing and serves as Florida Humanities scholar in residence.
If any bit of Florida’s history, cultures, literature, or cuisine has piqued your interest, then it’s probably been covered in FORUM, the award-winning magazine of Florida Humanities. This podcast series takes listeners behind the scenes of upcoming issues and speaks to the writers who bring some of the most fascinating Florida topics to life.
