About this listen

Welcome to Sunshine Junkie — the wildest new podcast straight outta Florida! Hosted by the ever-curious Chad Crawford, we dive headfirst into all things Sunshine State with some of its most passionate, outrageous, and unforgettable characters. We're kicking things off with a nostalgic ride through the Discover Florida Channel’s most iconic shows, dishing out behind-the-scenes stories you never saw on screen.

Chad sits down with past guests to relive epic moments, spill some untold secrets, and catch up on where life’s taken them since. From side hustles to passion projects, nothing’s off the table.

This is a full-on video and audio experience, recorded right in our Lake Mary, FL studio.

    Sunshine Junkie: Part Genius. Part Ridiculous. All Florida.
    Jul 2 2025

    In this premiere episode, Chad and Katie attempt to explain who they are and why, exactly, they’ve started a podcast. (Spoiler: it was Chad’s idea. Katie just works here.) What began as a wild suggestion from a Florida-obsessed boss has somehow turned into a real show—despite the fact that Chad still isn’t totally clear on what a podcast is. Or isn’t.

    Chad is the original Sunshine Junkie: a TV host and Creative Director who’s made it his mission to showcase Florida in all its weird, wonderful glory. Katie, on the other hand, was not born a Florida woman—but working alongside Chad for the past 8 years as a producer has... changed her. For better or worse, she’s been converted.

    Together, they’ve created a bunch of Florida-focused TV, and now they’re bringing their behind-the-scenes banter (and some truly unexpected guests) to your ears. This is Sunshine Junkie—a little genius, a little ridiculous, and always full Florida.
