Welcome to Our Pods!
Hi! I’m ‘Nute’, the Producer of these Magnolia News Podcasts, ‘Nute-Casts’ as they’re known around here, which bring you newsworthy neighborhood stories in a, shall we say, more ‘entertaining’ format. No small thanks to brilliant writing, and the on-air talents of our hosts Joey and Rachel. Click on the little microphones below to listen!
Harold & Jamal
Two fast friends a generation and a few tricks-up-their-sleeves apart convene for a friendly joust on the Spring Park Pier.

The Broom Squire
Meet ‘The Broom Squire’ at the Clay Fair; and yes, his brooms are better than your silly Swiffer!
(Comments welcome below.)
Cleo
‘Cleo’ awaited her destiny, but unlike the ordinary bolts of cotton and linen that surrounded her, she was extraordinary.
(Comments welcome below.)
Bird Brains
More of ‘Mag Pie’, that cheeky avian, this time let loose on the course, to torment hapless players!
(Comments welcome below.)
Be My ‘Mamolia’?
Maggie P’s worldwide culinary empire notches another hit with, well, a misfire actually, in this riotous romp through recent Valentine’s confectionary history. (Comments welcome below.)
A Month of Chocolate
A new committee at Magnolia Point aims to extend the charm of Valentine’s Day throughout the entire month of Ferbruary. What could possibly go wrong? (Comments welcome below.)
The Fairway Sky
In 1936, a famed aviator swooped down from the skies into a sleepy northern Florida town, and neither she, or the residents, would ever be the same. (Comments welcome below.)
Santa Gauze
His ‘Ho-ho-ho!’ is more like a seagull cackling as Santa ‘Frank’ Gauze navigates the anchorage off Spring Park. His antics are a bucket-list for bored North Floridians. (Comments welcome below.)
Captain Gobble
This seagoing Tom wins hearts along the St. Johns aboard local crabber Jack Brandt’s hobby daysailer. Sign on the crew and heave to! (Comments welcome below.)
Cookie Monster
Come along as Maggie P delivers cookies to some hungry Southern rockers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, at a ‘Hell House’ pratice jam in Green Cove Springs, on Thanksgiving Day, 1973! (Comments welcome below.)
Rock the Reindeer
Joey and Rachel really get into the Christmas spirit with this examination of the newest favorite tradition here, the annual assembly of volunteers who assemble the signature holiday that line our streets! Come on along! (Comments welcome below.)
Rockin’ Reindeer!
The companion podcast to ‘Rock’, above. This is an entirely fanciful look at what happens after the saws and drills and hammers are put away, and our newly-birthed wooden woodland creatures take to the ‘hood. (Comments welcome below.)
Light Up Magnolia!
Another grand tradition here at Magnolia Point, the Magnolia Point Women’s Club annual Luminaria Fundraiser, and cart parade and cart-decorating contest! (Comments welcome below.)
Carts ‘n Candy
It all started in the 50’s, when kids plied the Magnolia streets pulling wagons full of their Halloween treats. Years later, the tradition continues with ‘Carts ‘n Candy’, a yearly community parade and cart decoration contest! (Comments welcome below.)
Sleeves Up!
The volunteer spirit is alive and well at Magnolia Point, but it’s never to late to have your voice, and efforts, count! (Comments welcome below.)
