I enjoyed learning about the LA punk scene from this podcast. As a true crime podcast, it missed the mark. I also wish Alan Sachs had hosted. Penelope was annoying and referenced her work and relationships far too often.

I discovered Big Sugar while in my journey to lose weight when there were only 3 episodes. I was so angered by what I heard the sugar industry was doing to us and was ready to boycott sugar. I did great for 3 months, I lost 30 lbs but then lost my way. Im back and just as angered as I was before. Its just the push I needed. Down 5 lbs already!
Good story
