  • 100 Years of the LA Central Library with Susan Orlean

    100 Years of the LA Central Library with Susan Orlean
    May 21 2026

    The LA Central Library has always been unique. It doesn’t look like a typical big city library, many people didn’t want it to be built in the first place, and, in 1986, a fire affected more than one million of its books.

    Check out Susan’s book about the LA Central Library, called The Library Book, and her new memoir, Joyride

  • The Real Town Behind War of the Worlds

    The Real Town Behind War of the Worlds
    May 19 2026

    War of the Worlds by Orson Welles is perhaps the most famous radio play on Earth. But what’s left out of the story is where the play was set — a real, little town in New Jersey. It took decades, but the people who live in Grover’s Mill have come to embrace their part in one of the biggest media hoaxes of all time. In fact, they’ve turned it into something to be proud of.

Great content. The narrator’s vocal fry was distracting. Production was top notch in my opinion.

Vocal Fry!
