In this episode we descend on Venice Beach as Los Angeles County slowly starts to open up -- after all its surf spots were closed during the coronavirus pandemic.
We'll head to the sand as surfers catch their first legal waves, in the process of delivering this one-hour episode to 99.1 Venice Radio, a low-powered underground-minded radio station covering a section of West LA, as they put it, "From the Speedway to the Freeway."
The music has been specifically curated for the broad spectrum of folks weathering the viral storm in Venice -- everyone from the tech nerds of Silicon Beach, to the oldskool hippies holdin' it down, to the celebs passing through, to the DJs stuck producing and consuming livestreams in their rooms.
