LA Podcast is a news podcast for people who live in Los Angeles.
Alissa, Mike, and Hayes ask the big questions: is the fire department underfunded, who is really in charge of LA’s recovery, which electeds are taking all the blame, and why. Plus, emergency tenant protections are once again shelved by LA City Council.
