Customer Reviews
Agree with tk1906
They all have hot voice!
Great LBC podcast
We love local media! This one is great.
That guy with the nasal voice sounds really sexy.
Long Beach local brings it out
Great discussions of local hot issues that always bring out the central point to the wider issues facing our communities everywhere. Police violence, worker abuse, systemic racism, government corruption and elected’s indifference to the needs of the people. Always interesting and never disappoints!
