My California Road Trip: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
It’s Spring Break so it’s time for a Road Trip. I took the family up the 395 to explore some California history: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly. We start with Mammoth (3:38), which is a volcano. . .that gets 300 inches of snow per year! From there we stop by Schat’s Bakery (8:10), the most popular bakery in the WORLD. . .since 1903. And have you heard of Manzanar (9:00), the site of mass incarceration of 10,000 Japanese-Americans during WWII. You know I had to get the story. Lastly, we head to the Owens Lake (16:15), the epicenter of the California Water Wars.

Great LA podcast!
Came from the TikTok videos. Love how the podcast allows Evan to share more details. Just finished the Griffith Park episode and even though I live maybe 10 mins away I hardly ever go. Definitely got inspired to visit this weekend. I love learning history from the city. Great episode and great podcast!
7 things not from LA
Just got to this podcast. Just like the others I just finished, (grocery shopping in LA, neighborhoods in LA, Max prison in Lancaster, Karen Bass state of the city, and oh my gosh, the sports team one!!! )
All are just INCREDIBLE! I go for a month or so not being able to listen, But then i get so excited i get to binge a bunch of ‘em! Thanks for all of this wonderful information on LA. I’m a native - born at St Marys in the LBC. Not a lot of us!
Awesome Podcast!
Evan does an amazing job every episode. I agree with his undying love of all things L.A., but I also respect his honesty. Keep it going! I love L.A.!!
