Chris Heath
Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Chris Heath, an investigative and political reporter for WFTV in Orlando, as well as the host of the “Battleground Florida” podcast. Heath weighs in on what it’s like being in a nearly abandoned tourist town with all major parks including Disney closed, as well as several resorts. Heath offers his take on what goes into making closure determination including crunching numbers to see whether the business would lose more money by staying open than it would by closing entirely. Heath describes Orlando as “creepy” as roads empty amid coronavirus shutdowns. Peter also talks podcasts with a fellow podcaster as Heath describes why the unique storytelling ability appeals to him. And listen for Heath’s analysis of when Floridians might see things start to go back to normal. Hint: it’s not good news. And while you’re listening, see if you can name that Anchorman reference.
