Helen and Olga are kindly old ladies who open their hearts and wallets to down-and-out men in Los Angeles. In a city named for angels, the two women seem heaven-sent.

Customer Reviews
Amazing (but incorrectly uploaded??)
Love this podcast! It’s so well narrated, writes, and I just wish there could be more. 100% recommend! Although I think episode four is incorrectly uploaded - every time I try to play it an episode of paper ghosts plays!
