L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast
L.A. Meekly is a monthly comedy podcast about Los Angeles history put out by comedians Greg Gonzalez and Daniel Zafran that battles the idea that LA has no history by delving in the weird, unbelievable and, occasionally, haunted details from the past of their native city.

TV's wackiest lady does it again.  Don't be a Mertz, come listen to the tall tale of Lucille Ball's inadvertent involvement in World War II.

We're gonna jazz on down to Central Avenue to go over the story of LA's local Jazz scene of the early 20th century and the history of the people and culture that made it all possible. Feel free to scat along with us. We'll cover the trailblazing black community of the city from the Central Avenue neighborhood to Bronzeville (4:05), the rich Central Avenue jazz scene (56:16) and the eventual downfall of the Central Avenue neighborhood (1:45:40).
