Hear In LA

Willy knows how to grow the good stuff. He says it's better than 95% of what you can get at your corner shop. He does it naturally. He does it for love. He moved here from Kansas to be in it all. He is also a musician whose band Kukuni just might be the type of vibe you want when you are itching for Rush, minus the screaming guitars and crazy drums. He is putting the High in Highland Park.

Mild mannered Gordon Henderson is one of KPCC's announcers whose voice you've no doubt heard countless times. Today we learn from about how rewriting the Bible (and taking all the pesky religious bits out) as a lad brought him closer to God via art.

Dr. Arik Greenberg is a professor at LMU in Westchester. He teaches the New Testament, something a bit unique for a man who was born Jewish. But then again, who better to talk with about where the Bible stands on some of today's hottest topics revolving the GOP's assault on women's rights and of students who are buckling under giant tuition loans.

Ryh-Ming grew up in a $100k house near the Mayor’s pad, now it will take her millions to return. When she does it, don’t call it a comeback.

The lively host of the Budding Minds podcast talks about Burning Man, hallucinogens, the harsh reality of trying to be an actor in modern day Hollywood. And a truly unusual way to ingest substances when you want them to kick in quickly.

Kevin Reece has shot the Showtime Lakers, much of Kobe's career, countless Super Bowls, and even baseball cards. His work has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and a Wheaties box. But this View Park gentleman’s favorite photo is of his son.

This Angeleno Heights resident is the CEO of DoubleBlind: the most informative, trippiest, and prettiest psychedelic magazine you’ve been wishing for. So we talked about "drugs" in this episode. All the drugs. And what it took to put together her dream magazine.
