REGULARS ON BIG TALK WITH BIG JOHN

THE AMAZIN' SOSKIN – The UCF College of Business web site uses this picture of Professor Mark Soskin, probably to protect him from those whose treasured beliefs and sacred cows of the economy he skewers when he appears regularly on Big Talk. The Might Soskin not only conjures up opinions on nearly everything, he most often has the facts to support them.

SISTER MARY - She’s not really a nun, but to the clients of Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare she approaches sainthood. She regularly brings the kind of people we don’t often meet to Big Talk where they tell stories we aren’t likely to forget.

Mark O’ the Beach - Mark washes in on Big Talk as regularly as the tide to share his experiences in business, politics, love and life and isn’t afraid to challenge the host in any area. The conversation get lively when he’s on hand.

LCB - Not as much recognition as LBJ, but on the Funcoast there aren’t many connected with tourism who can’t tell you Lori Campbell Baker both knows a lot and does a lot when it comes to pumping up the sometimes sagging tourism economy. She’s more of an optimist than Big and she gives as good as she gets in spirited discussions.

SHALLOW – Don’t let the name fool you…..he may be shallow but he runs deep when it comes to knowledge of what’s happening in the local real estate market, and as a former sometimes controversial Daytona Beach City Commissioner and candidate he has a real sense of the inner – and often not pretty – workings of local government. When Mike Shallow speaks out, Goliath listens.
