Will the Pod Go On?
Rather famously, this podcast has never missed a single week since it’s inception. Unfortunately, an original mind of the program moved on (to city hall? CD4?unclear) and ever since listeners could sense seismic shifts afoot. Regardless, for three years you could get some of the most crystalline and unabashedly earnest knowledge of a place so ceaselessly fascinating and under-examined you’d wonder how you could live without it. For completists, the back catalogue is a stunning survey of civic education. For those who are late, remember that the Colorado River is THE continuum…
Painful in many ways
This podcast reminds me of the worst part of working in an office… listening to your coworkers ramble on (with horrible vocal fry) about what they did over the weekend followed by their liberal-to-a-fault views on a few basic morning headlines. This podcast perpetuates the worst stereotypes about Los Angelenos.
