I’ve been listening to these guys since COVID and love them, their mixture of humor, knowledge and love for their city is amazing. I especially love how rigorous they are about finding credible sources for their information.
Apple Podcasts5Mug usUnited States9 months ago I've been listening to these guys for years now, they're a mainstay of my podcast lineup and I relisten to episodes in between releases. The tone is light and conversational while still being informative and insightful. The jokes and prolonged bits give the show a charm that keeps me coming back and each episode stirs my curiosity in the city around me. They're also reliable, I know every first of the month I can look forward to a new episode to enjoy.

I love these guys - their passion for history, fact-checking, and their love for LA/CA. Anyone who doesn’t find them funny needs to check in to the hospital (no insurance needed) for Joy deficiency. YOU GUYS ROCK!
