    S2 Ep750: HISTORICALLY St. Pete w/Rui Farias: Dave Scheiber, Sports Reporter & Rock Star
    May 27 2025
    In this episode of Historically St Pete, St. Petersburg Museum of History executive director Rui Farias welcomes reporter, editor, best-selling author, and fantastic rock musician Dave Scheiber! Says Farias: "In what seems like a century ago, I started a career in journalism at the then St. Petersburg Times. I was hired the summer after high school to be a copy clerk, running around the newsroom doing whatever the news editors and reporters wanted or needed. From there I advanced to sports clerk, pretty much doing the same for sports department, but also creating that beautiful page of 2 C – all the agate, or statistics that was one of the most highly read pages of the Times. Eventually as I progressed in journalism school, I was given a shot at sports reporting, climbing the latter from high school football to the fishing column, to eventually the beat writer for the original version of the Tampa Bay Rowdies. News reporting, and especially sports reporting has definitely changed since I was at the Times in the 1980s. But during that period of the 1970s and 1980s, the Tampa Bay area was blessed with some fantastic sports teams, characters and stories that would fill three daily newspapers in this area. Joining us today is someone who I was very fortunate to work with, and who lived that time with the St. Petersburg Times, spending over 30 years with the paper.

    Rui Farias is the Executive Director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History, which has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years. In his podcast he and guests explore the truths, possibly the myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. Tune-in weekly to Radio St. Pete.com for Farias' fascinating podcast and stop by the St. Petersburg Museum of History on your next visit to the St. Pete Pier and explore the rich and unique history of the Sunshine City.

  • S2 Ep749: AUTHOR Erick Edwards: The Trouble with Telling, A Romantic Mystery

    S2 Ep749: AUTHOR Erick Edwards: The Trouble with Telling, A Romantic Mystery
    May 27 2025
    Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser chatted with Erick Edwards’ (aka Bickford “Bick” Penn), who pursued his dream to be an author after retiring as a biostatistician. Inspired by the great English poets, especially William Blake and William Wordsworth and the novels of Charles Dickens, Hemingway, and John Steinbeck, he spent three years working on "The Trouble with Telling," published this spring by St. Petersburg Press.
    ABOUT THE BOOK Weary of whodunits? Looking for something daringly different?
    How about a quirky mystery/romance with a heady premise? To wit, discovering the root of one’s subconscious desires. No murders to solve here, but a socially challenged Army Specialist’s struggles with his uncontrollable impulses could lead to death by embarrassment. Meanwhile, a geeky but gutsy first-year college student gets even with her devious boss by undermining his illicit activities. Two tales of woe and intrigue have been woven into one. The Trouble with Telling is a coming-of age story about perceptions, misperceptions, and the pain of personal growth. The truth is out there…maybe.
    SAYS THE AUTHOR: "While an undergraduate, Biology, Math, and English Literature were my favorite subjects. I attempted to become a poet/songwriter, but it didn’t pan out. After graduating, I spent the next several years working full time as a lab tech and taking graduate-level science courses in the evenings. I eventually stumbled into statistics. After getting my PhD from Virginia Commonwealth University, I spent nearly 30 years working in the field of organ transplantation as a biostatistician. My research was published in NEJM, JAMA, and numerous transplant journals. I retired in 2017. Because of our love of warm weather, Salvador Dali, and baseball, my wife and I moved to downtown St. Petersburg in 2019. I now had time to write!"
