Customer Reviews
Forgot how much I love this pod
Highly recommend this show to anyone who’s interested in what’s going on in LA.
Ad to content ratio
The reporting is good, but there is regularly more ads than content in each episode. I get it, need to pay the bills, but it’s forcing me to skip the listen all together.
Helpful News
I like these twice daily reports with important local news in digestible bits. I also appreciate their longer segments that explore local issues in more depth. Highly recommend for all Angelenos!
