In this episode, Oz talks about his latest project a podcast production company called Salad Bytes Media. He talks about where he is in the business process so far and what the long-term goals are. Can a podcast production company exist and make money in Salinas? Follow along to find out.

This week our guest is Rob from Masa for the Raza Podcast. Way back in the day Rob used to do a restaurant review series for Salinas Underground then he branched off to start his own show. It's always fun to have him back and to reminisce and drink many beers. Check out Masa for the Raza on YouTube and Instagram and anywhere quality podcasts are available!

There are not very many Mexican-American bioengineering post-graduates that attend Stanford and even rarer is one born and raised in Salinas. Rolando Cruz checks all those boxes and he sat down with Oz during a talk about the Bracero program held at the Steinbeck Center. He has an amazing story that goes from a small trailer in Baronda to the halls of Stanford and now he is ready to come back and help inspire others with his love of science. If you need some life inspiration this is your episode.

In this weeks installment of how much can Oz talk in one hour, Oz fixes the economy in 30 minutes by asking the question "How can someone working at Ace Hardware in the '60s afford to own a car and a house and take vacations?" Without doing any research he attempts to give you an answer.

In this episode, Oz goes on a lecture about constitutional law because he read a couple of Wikipedia articles. He may never pass a bar exam but he seems to have Cujo convinced. So, put on your safety vests and look both ways before hitting play here is another episode of Salinas Underground Podcast.

As you can probably tell from the title of this episode we get a little existential on this episode. When we started this podcast four years ago we knew one thing, this was going to be a show about real people from Salinas telling the story of our city in our own words. Since then it has grown into something we could never have imagined but the love and passion of telling our city's story remains.

For our first episode of 2018, we brought back an old friend to talk about the new year and reminisce about stories from when the podcast was just a tiny idea. Rob from Masa for the Raza is one of the hardest working content creators in Salinas and he was patient enough to let us get this new year started in an interesting direction. Follow his page on Instagram to find out about all the events around Salinas.

In this episode, Oz tells a story of going to a community meeting about the future of Oldtown Salinas. These meetings are not only important because they guide the future of our city but they are also great sources of entertainment as city workers with average public speaking skills try to explain technical plans to an audience with mostly limited technical ability. Keep an eye out for the next one and check it out for yourself.

This episode starts with Oz updating Cujo on a Twitter battle he tried to engage the Santa Cruz PD in. The battle goes predictably and Cujo remains confused as to its reasoning or its intended outcome. Oz looks for a sturdier soapbox.

This episode was recorded back at our old recording space in XL Publichouse in Oldtown during the Parade of Lights festival. The rain stayed away long enough to keep everyone dry and the beer warmed us up. The excitement of being back at our old recording spot made the topics more varied than usual but you don't want to miss Oz's chronological history of porn in the last 15 years. Happy Holidayze.
