This week on The Florida Roundup, we talk about the legal limbo around abortion access as the Florida Supreme Court considers a challenge to the state’s 15-week ban, and a collection of stories about coastal communities' efforts to mitigate flooding.

There’s no great musical tradition surrounding Thanksgiving; the best we can do is to gather some of the music that was being heard around England and Holland around 1620. So that’s what we’ll do: a concert of "Tunes the Pilgrims Left Behind" on this week’s program.

We’re going to hear a pair of piano concerti this Sunday by two Hungarian-born composers whose slightly overlapping lifespans covered a stretch of nearly 140 years — years from the height of the Hapsburg Empire to the tumultuous times of the last century.
