A Live Local Talk Show out of

Fort Myers Beach

~~ Retired ~~

Beach Talk Radio has been hosted by the somewhat happily married husband and wife team of Kim and Ed Ryan since August 2018. The show is a weekly one-hour entertaining and informative live broadcast from Pete’s Time Out restaurant on Fort Myers Beach. The two radio-wanna-be’s discuss local news and events with community leaders, local residents, entertainers and random snowbirds–filling the ever-growing gap of vanishing local radio.

Most recent episodes:
