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.

Hot town!  Summer in the city is here!  Cool down with this month's episode on the harnessing of the LA River as the city's water source in the early days (:15) and the creation of the Owens Valley aqueduct and the ensuing water wars in the slightly less early days (:55).  Chinatown references need not apply.
