From Ballot Boxes To Hollywood Boulevard; Venice Pulse

This week Sandy, Chuck & Jim discuss California’s recent Election Day, diving deep on LA voting centers and why California's vote counting process can take so long. Meanwhile, Sandy reflects on casting her first vote as a new U.S. citizen and what the experience meant to her.

The conversation then wanders from local politics to Hollywood history, including Mann's Chinese Theatre, celebrity handprints, classic movie memories, and a review of the new Jack Johnson documentary. It's a classic Venice Pulse mix of current events, local culture, and unexpected detours.

Venice Pulse is a podcast focusing on Venice Beach and beyond. It is hosted by Venice residents Sandy Clark and Chuck Whobrey. Sandy has been on the cutting edge of both written and televised journalism for the last 30 years. Her credits include NHK, CBC, ABC, BBC, AMI (various publications), the Daily Mail and the Westside Current. 

Originally from the UK, Chuck was once on the BBC's Newsnight talking about "Ecstasy". Besides that, he has no qualifications whatsoever when it comes to hosting a current affairs type show! 

Jim Buck used to host a cultural radio show on WBAI New York. He now resides in Los Angeles where he is a full-time writer and part-time political commentator.
