236: Exploring Los Angeles with outgoing Mayor Eric Garcetti

This week, a very special "The Issue Is:," a journey through Los Angeles with Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Over the course of one day, Garcetti and host Elex Michaelson hit the road, Garcetti behind the wheel, to explore the construction projects, landmarks, and favorite spots of the outgoing Mayor, who has been in office since 2013.

In a wide-ranging conversation, the two talk openly about homelessness, rising crime, the city’s COVID response, and questions over whether Garcetti lied to Congress during his confirmation hearing for U.S. Ambassador to India.

There are also lighter moments, as Garcetti talks about his love of music, lessons he learned from his father, former District Attorney Gil Garcetti, and what he hopes his legacy will be.
