    The Real Podcasters of Los Angeles

    Another new experimental content offering! This one is called 'Brad & Mira For the Culture,' and for the next few weeks, it'll be happening on Tuesdays. (We'll see what the audience response is before we decide whether or not to proceed any further. If you want to send us feedback, email us at letters [at] otherppl [dot] com.)
    'Brad & Mira For the Culture' will be all about popular culture and generational divides. I'm inept when it comes to pretty much anything mainstream, while Mira is a a voracious consumer. I'm Gen X. She's a Millennial. We're going to discuss and see what happens.
    Stay tuned.

    There Was Something in the Sky

    The return of the monologue. By popular demand, I'm going to experiment with doing stand-alone monologue episodes on Mondays, aka Monologue Mondays. We'll see how it goes.
    Today, I reflect on a recent long weekend in the desert and the appearance of something...otherworldly...in the sky.
