AJ Trexler is a voice actor and friend of Fernando. Both AJ and host Ana Fernatt move to LA from Chicago. In this episode, we talk about what that midwest to west coast transition is like, the benefits of living in the Valley and finding your niche...even if it's different from what you set out to do.
No, it is not your eyes playing tricks on you. This expertly edited photo is in fact of two people who are not in the same room. First, I forgot after recording. And then, I celebrated my birthday the night before we scheduled to take a photo together.
About The Show:
LA is a city of 4 million spread over 503 miles, 114 neighborhoods and can take over an hour to get from one side to the other. With that many people bumping up against each other, how is it possible to feel alone and isolated. It's a city of paradox: dreams and heartbreak. Lifelong locals and those just coming in for a shot.
Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect. Talk about our live and what got us to where we are today. Talking. What does it mean for two people to get to know each other? It's also a show about connection in the larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know. That person we pass in the street, get behind at the grocery store, sit next to at the bar. They are all more connected to us than we may realize at first glance. A couple handshakes away...or, for the bold, maybe just one.
I'm Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA. But...now I know you.
