This month we talk about the extreme forms of weather Los Angeles has been subjected to throughout history. Join us as we watch the thermometer go from hot and dry to hot and wet to hot and on fire. We’ll also give you tips on what you can do to survive the city’s impending environmental doom. Hint: not much! We cover heatwaves (3:55), the Santa Ana winds (11:13), snow (21:39), tornadoes (25:06), smog (28:53), wildfires (42:14), droughts (51:26), floods (58:12) and the dreaded ARkStorm (1:11:52). (We apologize for the slight loss in audio quality this episode. Tom Bosley was being very uncooperative. (That will make sense shortly)

You must be this tall to hear this extensive history of Venice of America. Join us as we take a gondola ride through the canals, join one of LA's oldest gangs and watch the rivalry of the Venice and Ocean Park piers as their built up and burned down and built up and then burned down again. And again. And again. We cover Abbott Kinney himself (3:05), the amusements (20:08), the canals (58:25), the oil days (1:06:08), the history of Oakwood (1:11:34) and the tragedies (1:17:19). (All heights welcome).
