We've had the arrest of Miami commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla last week. Unfortunately for us (and maybe fortunate for you), Billy Corben was on a Disney vacation, so there was no episode last week. But much like the U, Billy is back, and he gets his say on the matter. Guests on the show today include former Miami police chief Art Acevedo, who talks about his dealings with the corrupt politics in this town. We also have lobbyist Manny Prieguez, who gives us a blow by blow on how he was shaken down by Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla prior to his arrest. Plus, we have Iris Mogul, a student who founded The Banned Books Club in Coral Gables. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
