Saturday, 11 April, 2026

Episode 44 of "The Orlando Shine Show" was recorded on the patio at MAD Creative Fabrication (Website) for a spring open house they hosted to show off all of their fancy skills and facilities. They're a team of designers and builders that build custom creations for clients like the major theme parks, and we got a behind-the-scenes look at some of their latest projects. Topics this week include a pre-FIFA match between England and Costa Rica at Inter&Co Stadium this summer, some local vegan restaurant drama, the return of the OUC Half Marathon, Taste of DeLand, what led to the closure of The Rialto apartments on Sand Lake Road, and the closing of Miller's Hardware in Winter Park. Holler at this week's sponsors, Enzian Theater, JustCallMoe.com, Legacy Life Project, and the Orange County Library System.
