L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast

Eye of nerd. Pod of cast. Leave a review or this show won't last! And with that incantation comes our Halloween special on some of the witchiest women in LA history...and a house. Crack open a cauldron as we pod-cast a spell on your ears of the stories of Louise Huebner (6:53), Vampira (23:50), Elvira (53:29) and the Beverly Hills Witch House (1:10:37). Be there or be there. It's not a choice.

Candy Is Dandy But Liquor Is CLICK HERE (Prohibition and Alcohol)

You must be 21 or older (in dog years) to listen to this episode on the long, cursed, prohibited, corrupt and tasty history of alcohol in this city from the very first grape vine to the very last boot legged. Fake IDs welcome. We'll cover the city's love affair with wine (6:43) including the San Antonio winery (24:35), the torrid romance with beer (28:25) including Eastside brewery (31:53) and the chilly non-romance of prohibition (48:21).

Pulp Non-Fiction (Oranges)

Peel away the skin, take that gross white stuff off, section it up and extract the seeds and what you've got left is our long awaited (and dreaded) episode on oranges! Bite into the story of LA's mythological cash crop all the way from the first orange tree to come to the city (9:10) all the way through the rise of a little local business known as Sunkist (41:47). Some sugar added.
