New true-crime podcast Felonious Florida exposes the Sunshine State’s dark underbelly
Florida may be bright and sunny, but its criminals are dark and twisted. Felonious Florida, the newest series from podcast tastemaker Wondery, recounts Florida’s strangest crimes. From a brutal home invasion caught entirely on videotape to a child killer roaming the Boca Raton Mall, these unsolved crimes cast a dark shadow on the Sunshine State.
Felonious Florida launches on April 3: it’ll be the newest in a string of successful podcasts from Wondery, which include Dirty John, Young Charlie, American History Tellers, and Business Wars. Wondery has gained massive critical and commercial success for its immersive approach to sound and storytelling: it just raised $5 million in its Series A funding round.
By combining in-depth reporting with immersive audio, Felonious Florida is sure to become the true-crime thrill of 2018. We’d like to offer you an interview with the podcast’s host, veteran Sun Sentinel reporter Lisa Arthur, as well as an exclusive preview of the series’ first episodes.

Mental Rest For The Mind Helps Preserve Brain Function As We Age
Growing older is inevitable, but many of the afflictions associated with old age—including dementia, disability and increased dependence on others—don't have to be. So if you could, would you choose to break the mold of aging?
Psychiatrist and international speaker Timothy R. Jennings, M.D., may have some insights. Dr. Jennings prescribes simple, everyday actions we all can take to stave off disease, promote vitality, and prevent dementia and late-onset Alzheimer's. "The choices we make now can help us to keep our minds sharp and maintain our independence as we age,” says Jennings.
An easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout life, The Aging Brain is based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, and the interventions discussed may help prevent progression toward dementia, even in those already showing signs of mild cognitive impairment. The recommendations also may help reduce disability and depression.
"This book isn't just for people hoping to slow the aging process,” says Jennings. "It's also for anyone who is a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia. It offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.”
Jennings, who maintains a private practice in Chattanooga, TN, has authored several books, including The God-Shaped Brain and The God-Shaped Heart. He has spent more than two decades researching the interface between biblical principles and modern brain science. A Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and Life Fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association, Jennings is president and founder of Come and Reason Ministries.

Tax Day Survey: 58% of Americans Haven't Filed Yet
With Tax Day on April 17, here is a survey that reveals the majority of Americans are fiercely independent when it comes to taxes — but they shouldn't be.
Consider this:
>> Nearly 70% of Americans file their own taxes—but 45% of Americans have no idea how the new tax bill will affect them.
To conduct the Pollfish Tax Day Survey, the researchers at Pollfish [http://www.pollfish.com]—the world’s leading mobile survey platform that successfully predicted the PA18 race by 1%)—asked 1,000 Americans about how they plan to file taxes.
*** POLLFISH TAX DAY SURVEY ***
(survey of 1,000 Americans, conducted on March 26, 2018)
>> 64% OF AMERICANS DO THEIR OWN TAXES
Only 36% of Americans hire an accountant—16% fill out the forms themselves while 48% use a tax software.
>> 21% OF AMERICANS ARE WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FILE
58% of Americans haven't filed yet but will do so before the 17th. However, 1 in 5 wait to mail their taxes until April 17!
>> 45% OF AMERICANS HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE NEW TAX BILL WILL AFFECT THEM
Only 20% of Americans say they're very familiar with Trump's 2017 tax reform. 31% don't even know if the Act affects them, while 14% say they aren't familiar with the Act at all.
>> TOP 5 MOST RECOMMENDED TAX RESOURCES
