PRESS PLAY
On the Spot with EGM is a local interview show focused on the working life of the Treasure Coast. Its episodes bring in the people behind civic programs, seasonal events, public offices, nonprofit services, local arts, and small businesses. The result is part community calendar, part service journalism, and part neighborly introduction. It is not built around confrontation. It is built around access. Guests explain what they do, why it matters, and how residents can take part. A conversation with Matt Markley, CEO of Hibiscus Children's Center, turns toward family crisis support, child welfare prevention, poverty pressure, donations, and the practical shape of advocacy. A property tax episode with Carol Jean Jordan and Eder Morales makes room for deadlines, penalties, quarterly payment plans, title closings, and registration auto pay. The show also follows Vero Beach's public celebrations. Episodes cover the Jackie Robinson celebration game, USA All Day, a Veterans Ceremony, a youth art contest, and the volunteers and organizers needed to make those events work. Arts coverage has a stage-door feel, especially when performers discuss 9 to 5, The Musical, Dora Lee, Dolly Parton's music, and the difference between homage and imitation. Business conversations are similarly concrete. Dragonfly Boatworks becomes a discussion about boat shows, shallow-water fishing, comfort, surfboard roots, and custom details. Cruise Planners becomes a story about opening during COVID, learning franchise tools, and handling cruises, resorts, hotels, flights, and weekend getaways. The pacing is friendly and practical, with speakers guiding guests toward dates, websites, services, and local points of pride. It is most useful when a listener wants to understand the people behind a flyer, a fundraiser, a public office, or a weekend event. The show treats community infrastructure as something made by named people, repeated effort, and a lot of coordination.
Made for: For Treasure Coast residents who want practical local context on events, services, public offices, nonprofits, arts, and small businesses. It especially suits listeners who prefer conversational explanations over formal announcements.
What sets it apart: The show keeps community promotion grounded in working details: deadlines, volunteer needs, program mechanics, donation goals, event locations, and the people handling them. It feels close to the source without becoming a government meeting or a press release.
On the Spot with EGM discusses the hottest topics of the day with the movers and shakers of the business world, with a focus on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
