  Python Removal Specialist Taylor Stanberry: Hunting with A 'Headlamp and Hope'

  Aug 17, 202638 minS1

  It's a wild and scaly episode of "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" from State Affairs this week as python removal specialist Taylor Stanberry joins the show! As last year's grand prize winner of the Florida Python Challenge in the Everglades, Stanberry tells Dara that her approach to hunting these massive invasive predators is surprisingly low-tech, relying primarily on "a headlamp and hope." Stanberry also recounts her closest, most heart-stopping brushes with pythons and how she managed to survive them. When she isn't tracking pythons in the Everglades, Stanberry travels the world as a reptile influencer, creating educational wildlife content for Insta, YouTube and other platforms. Back home in Naples, Florida, she and her husband run the Wild Stanberry's Sanctuary, which focuses on providing a safe home for rehomed primates and other critters. The couple also relocates and removes unwanted reptililian visitors such as pythons and rattlesnakes. Visit pro.stateaffairs.com/florida for more.

  Author Pamela Colloff brings True Crime to "Between the Lines"

  Aug 3, 20261h 2mS1

  In a story where the truth is stranger than fiction, this week's episode of "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" from State Affairs dives into a dark web of "murder, deception and injustice." Guest Pamela Colloff, author of the haunting new book "Catch the Devil," joins us to peel back the layers of a chilling Gulf Coast mystery that challenges what we think we know about the American justice system. At the heart of Colloff's investigation is Paul Skalnik, a master of manipulation. A former police officer turned career con artist, Skalnik morphed into one of the nation's most prolific jailhouse snitches. He operated as a shadowy "incentivized witness," leaving a trail of questionable testimony across dozens of cases in Pinellas County. "Catch the Devil" unearths Skalnik's pivotal role in the high-stakes death-penalty case of James Dailey. While Dailey was convicted of the brutal murder of a teenage girl in St. Petersburg, he steadfastly maintains his innocence Colloff meticulously reconstructs Skalnik's labyrinthine history of scams and false claims, revealing a man who even attempted to weave his web of manipulation around the author herself during their intense interviews. Prepare to go deep into the shadows. Don't miss this compelling journey Between the Lines to confront the chilling reality of "Catch the Devil." Visit pro.stateaffairs.com/florida for more.

  Lt. Gov. Jay Collins: The Home Stretch of a Hostile Race

  Florida's governor's race is at a fever pitch, with social media feuds between candidates driving the Sunshine State's news cycle. Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, who's vying to replace the man who appointed him, says the online chatter does not reflect real life on the campaign trail.

The LG also clarifies where his relationship stands with DeSantis amid the friction. Additionally, Collins lays out his strategy for taking on U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, the well-funded, Trump-endorsed frontrunner leading the hotly contested race.
