L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast

The long and winding road has led us to this moment: our final episode. 13 long years will be discussed, dissected and deliberated on this our double stuffed goodbye. Come for the musical numbers, stay for the tears.

In this, our final research based episode, we're covering the last few topics we've always wanted to cover before it's too late and we're sealed up in our retirement pyramid. We'll be discussing pie maker Monroe Boston Strause (22:42), the court case of Perez v Sharp (35:27), Joan Didion (53:29) and things that were planned but never built around LA (1:27:04).

For the next couple months: Everything. Must. Go. Leading up to our emotional final episoe we'll be covering all the topics we've always wanted to while we still can. This month we'll be talking about the Man From Mars Bandit (24:39), Van de Kamp's Bakery (31:25), Drive-In movie theaters (1:03:08) and Hollywood Bloody Friday (1:38:23).

It's that time of year when the junk in your drawer ends up the junk on the curb. Spring is here so we're cleaning out the L.A. Meekly Junk Drawer and covering some stories that didn't quite fit into other episodes. We'll be doing the Rattlesnake Killer (20:30), Pedro Gonzalez (50:20) and Lawn Chair Larry (1:09:18).

Viva la Revoluti...pod?! This month we're going to be covering some big names in activisim and revolution from the annals of Los Angeles history. We'll be covering the anarchist Ricardo Flores Magon (19:00), the Brown Beret Gloria Arellanes (44:43) and the socialist Upton Sinclair (1:18:48).
