Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel
Episode #: 1951
Original Broadcast Date: 08/09/2014
Before there was an apology… before the graves were found… before Florida admitted what it had done, Robert Straley told the truth. A survivor of the notorious Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, he stepped forward in 2014 to share with Elizabeth Dougherty the unthinkable: beatings, torture, and silence. His words were not easy—but they were undeniable. That single act of courage helped spark a reckoning. Years later, the state finally apologized and created a victim compensation fund. But for Robert, justice never came. He died in 2018 of pancreatic cancer, never hearing the state say “I’m sorry” and never receiving a dime of restitution. His voice, captured in our exclusive interview, remains a chilling record of what happened behind the whitewashed walls of Dozier. This story isn’t just about the past—it’s about how long it takes to tell the truth, and how many never live to see justice.
Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
