Episode 18: Dean Hanna & Assoc. Dean Clark
“Once you’re here, you’re an FSU student. If the program you want is in Tallahassee, you’re
able to transfer to Tallahassee. We have some students who do that, we have some students
who come here, planning to do that and they stay, but they realize they like it here better.” In this
episode, Steve sits down with Dean Hanna and Dean Clark from FSU PC to discuss Bay
County’s resilience in the times we have been placed in, the opportunity to provide higher
education to those who want it, and new FSU programs that are taking off in our community!

“I just realized how similar our mission is with what you are doing right here,” Leake explains when comparing Chasin’ the Sun and Good News Bay. “I know that the two have a lot of things in common, but the mission behind our show is to show people Bay County and Panama City Beach in a good light. You watch the news, there is a lot of other stuff on there that is not great, not happy, not exciting, and you may think it’s not the coolest place in the world to live but that’s wrong because, let’s face it, we’ve got it going on.” In this episode, Steve sits down with the host of the Chasin’ the Sun television series, Justin Leake. They discuss the tight sense of community among Bay County’s bait and tackle shops, the minute details of fishing that make the sport interesting, and often a problem-solving experience; as well as what is biting in the Bay and the Gulf during this time of year.
