  • Misleading

    Not sure for the need to create a very misleading intro on your Gascon series, part 3.

  • Episode on loneliness

    Kudos, the first episode on loneliness was really well done in form and substance. Not an easy topic to tackle in that format and I thought you did it well.

  • So fun keeping up with this podcast!

    I especially love the food episodes where I learn about great and affordable places to eat and the episodes about the history of L.A.’s neighborhoods that never get the spotlight. The host, Brian, is truly the best. Whether you are a fellow Angelino or a curious outsider, a listen will certainly leave you with a greater appreciation for life in the City of Angels.
