SoCal’s Botanical Paradise: The Best Gardens To Visit This Spring
It’s that time of year when gardens explode in a palette of colors. After another year of historic rainfalls, mother nature might be painting with more hues than usual. The blooms we often hear about are the “super blooms” on public land, like the Antelope Valley or Lake Elsinore. But flowers don’t discriminate where they grow. Today on AirTalk, we’re talking about the best gardens in SoCal, from the public to the private, Descanso Gardens to San Diego’s Balboa Park. We want to hear from you. What is your favorite garden to visit? Call us at 866-893-5722 or email us at atcomments@laist.com.

HTLA Presents: Revival House: Part 6 - The Academy Museum's Sister Cinemas
We're back with another episode of Revival House, but this time we're not heading to a 100 year old theater...
The David Geffen and Ted Mann theaters at the Academy Museum of Motion Arts and Pictures are a new addition to L.A's revival programming. In this episode, we explore what the theaters, which only opened in 2021, have to offer our city's moviegoing landscape. And hopefully, we demystify what seeing a movie here is actually like! (Did you know that tickets are only $10? And no, they don't just show Oscar winners.)
In this episode, How To LA producer Victoria Alejandro sits in the red velvet seats of the David Geffen theater with Academy Museum Director of Programming, K.J. Relth-Miller, to talk community access, screening trends, and the power of movie theaters.
If you're curious about the Academy Museum, you can check out our other LAist Studios series, The Academy Museum Podcast here.
Guests: Academy Museum Director of Programming K.J. Relth-Miller
Customer Reviews
Great Content!
Airtalk provides a wide range of knowledgeable guests, covering many topics of interest. Entertaining and informative!
Audio volume
Please fix the audio, it’s softer than all the shows I listen to, then the commercial comes on and it’s too loud. Don’t have this issue with other podcasts.
My favorite podcast
I have been listening to AirTalk for over a decade and the show has continued to impress me all these years. Larry is one of the most level-headed, intelligent, and gracious hosts you can find. Larry avoids bias and presses both sides of the issue. Years ago the time slot changed and I was not able to listen on my commute but I now listen to the podcast everyday and I contribute dollars to KPCC quarterly as my gratitude for the quality programming of AirTalk. -Matthew, Windsor Square, Los Angeles.
