Description

Hi guys, today is a bit of a different episode. As I'm sure you've all heard about (or experienced firsthand) the fires in LA. My heart goes out to families who have lost their homes or worse. Truly devastating. I pray that you are all safe and same for your loved ones.

I am safe down in San Diego. I forgot to bring my equipment with me, so this is a solo episode recorded on a voice memo. I apologize for the quality. I share my relationship to the city of LA and then cover a couple LA based stories.
