Show Notes
This strange saga has a few twists and turns which have culminated in Disney taking Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis to court. It's the latest move in a year-long battle that started when Disney publicly criticised Florida’s ‘don’t say gay' laws. In retaliation, DeSantis stripped Disney of its 56-year-long self-governing status and even threatened to open a prison near its theme park.
We find out the whole story from Guardian writer Richard Luscombe based in Florida on why one man’s beef with a corporation in his state could have much wider implications.
