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.

In this episode we are seeing Red and naming names as we tell you the story of the Hollywood 10 and the shameful Hollywood Blacklist of the 40s and 50s. How does a thing like that happen you ask? Well, just take a community built on pleasing the general public, add rumors of Communist ties and watch a city devour itself. We'll cover the Hollywood Blacklist round 1 (4:06) and round 2 (36:45).
