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.

Another year another fear. Our seasonally creepy and haunted look at LA’s sordid history is back to take on ghostly hospitals, culty parks, lizardy people and more. Pray to baby Jesus and hold on to your yarmulke. We discuss the Galster Park Butcher in West Covina (1:00:12), the Gates of Hell known as Turnbull Canyon in Whittier (1:07:12), the ghost orderly at Linda Vista Communtiy Hospital in Boyle Heights (36:00), the murder and hauntings at the Greystone/Doheny Mansion in Beverly Hills (45:36), the underground secret tunnels of the Los Angeles Lizard People (19:50), and Greg talks about his field trip to the funeral for the unclaimed bodies at the L.A County morgue.

In honor of what we now know as "Thanksgiving," we’ll be talking about the native people who lived in what we now know as "Los Angeles" and what happened to them once what we now know as "the Spanish" came to take their land and put them in what we now know as "the Missions." This description is now known as "over." We cover the pre-historic and Native days of the city (3:06) and the Spanish and mission days as well (28:25).
