We need more breakdown post leaked tapes and going into the election. Can we return to once a week????!!!???? Thank you, the emergency episode was so good and so needed to help process whats been happening. No one else is doing this thoughtful kind of conversation. La pod we need you!!!

I live in LA, am very interested in what is going on in the city and really want to like the podcast. However, the lack of editing kills this show for me. The first 20 to 30 minutes of the podcast consists of the hosts’ LA Stories, which, while occasionally interesting are way too long. The remaining hour includes at least 5 minutes of the hosts laughing at one another’s jokes. If the hosts tightened things up and posted episodes more regularly I would enjoy the show a lot more and consider contributing financially to it.

Was hoping for some hot takes for voting season!? Where ya at LA pod??

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…
