Throughout the 20th Century, Florida was a mecca of the film industry. Whether it was Esther Williams at Silver Springs or James Bond thrillers set around Miami, if you went to see a feature film presentation in the 20th Century a good chance existed it was either set or filmed in Florida.

In this week’s Florida History Podcast we break down the Florida’s incredible film history and discuss the support the humanities received traditionally from state government.
