    The Controversial History of Dodger Stadium Mar 27, 2024

    This episode originally aired March 31, 2021.

    Eric Nusbaum is the author of the award-winning book, "Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between." Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.

    Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O’Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy — a glittering, ultra-modern stadium.

    But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood’s families — including one, the Aréchigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation – and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.

    In this episode of the podcast, Nusbaum discusses the history of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and the lives and communities its construction disrupted.

    Heather Radke, Author of "Butts: A Backtory" Feb 08, 2023

    Heather Radke is an essayist, journalist, contributing editor and reporter for the Peabody-award winning podcast, Radiolab from WNYC. She is the author of the book "Butts: A Backstory." Whether we love them or hate them, think they’re sexy, think they’re strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. A woman’s butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified.

    Part deep dive reportage, part personal journey, part cabinet of curiosities, Butts is an illuminating, and thoughtful examination of why certain silhouettes come in and out of fashion—and how larger ideas about race, control, liberation, and power affect our most private feelings about ourselves and others.

    The Gangster's Guide to Sobriety Jun 22, 2022

    Richie Stephens became an alcoholic and a petty criminal as a teenager growing up in Ireland. He became a drug addict and then a drug trafficker as his life spiraled out of control. The Irishman eventually ended up in San Francisco where he joined a Chinese gang. He nearly ended his own life before realizing that his addiction was at the heart of his self-destructive ways. A journey to sobriety and a trip down the state of California to Hollywood led to Richie Stephens becoming an actor where today (of course) he often plays criminals. Stephens tells the incredible story of his life with co-authors John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky in the new book "The Gangster's Guide to Sobriety: My Life in 12 Steps."

During this podcast, Altschuler and Stephens tell that story along with tales from Stephens' life and lessons learned on Stephens' path to sobriety.

    'Stealing Home' and the controversial history of Dodger Stadium Apr 13, 2022

    Eric Nusbaum is the author of the award-winning book, “Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between.” Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.

    Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O’Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy — a glittering, ultra-modern stadium. But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood’s families — including one, the Aréchigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation – and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.

    Eric Nusbaum, "Stealing Home" Author Mar 31, 2021

    Eric Nusbaum is the author of the award-winning book, "Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between." Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.

    Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O’Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy — a glittering, ultra-modern stadium.

    But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood’s families — including one, the Aréchigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation – and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.

    In this episode of the podcast, Nusbaum discusses the history of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and the lives and communities its construction disrupted.

During this podcast, Jorge tells us what it was like to live in the shadows before DACA and how the decision to rescind DACA in 2017 had affected his life.

    Black Lives Matter: Listening to Black Voices Jun 10, 2020

    George Floyd's death at the knee of a Minneapolis police officer has propelled people onto the streets of the U.S. and the world to protest against police brutality, racial injustice, and systemic discrimination. Black Americans have said for decades that they are treated differently than White people and others by police officers and deputies, and that when they are the victims of violence at the hands of law enforcement, there is little hope of justice. Among the studies and statistics that advocates point to--a New York Times analysis of Minneapolis data that shows police use force against Black people at seven times the rate of White people, and a Washington Post story that reported that black men are 3.5 times more likely to die at the hands of police officers than White men. The Black Lives Matter movement has been attempting to force Americans to confront numbers like these and these issues since 2013. During this podcast, we listen to those voices--the voices of Black people expressing the pain of experiencing violence and injustice, the voices of Black Americans discussing what it's like to be Black in America. Our guests were all featured either on the KTLA 5 Morning News or on Frank Buckley Interviews. This week's program features: Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Dr. Michael Fisher, senior pastor at Greater Zion Church Family in Compton, California, Donta Morrison, youth minister at Church One in Long Beach, California, and basketball legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar who all appeared on the morning news.

    Josh Campbell, Former FBI Special Agent May 13, 2020

    President Trump has been saying that former President Barack Obama should be investigated, suggesting that Obama acted illegally when FBI agents began investigating President Trump's first National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in late 2016. Flynn would eventually resign and admit to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. What exactly was the FBI's thinking when agents started looking into Michael Flynn? Why did the FBI launch an investigation into the Trump campaign's ties with Russia? Former FBI supervisory agent Josh Campbell was in the inner circle when those decisions were being made. He was a special assistant to then FBI director James Comey. We revisit a conversation with Josh Campbell, who takes us inside the early days of the Russia investigation, and his book Crossfire Hurricane: Inside Donald Trump's War on the FBI.
