Florida's Xanadu

Mar-a-Lago has had two owners in its existence: Marjorie Merriweather Post, and Donald Trump. This week, we explore the origins of the infamous home, the city that brought Marjorie to the Sunshine State, and the legacy the building is burdened with a century after its completion. Thank you to our guest this week, Les Standiford, for his help. Read more of Les' work right here. Thank you to Chelsea Rice for her incredible design of our logo! Follow Chelsea on Instagram here! All of the music was originally composed.
