theLAnd podcast

Evan, Jenn, and Jeff relive the pain and pleasure of the 2020 election, including an unprecedented progressive sweep in Los Angeles, big changes for the City Council and Board of Supervisors, and what a Biden presidency could mean for Los Angeles. Plus, is Evan part of the #KHive now?

Jenna Chandler (Curbed L.A.), Scott Frazier (L.A. Podcast) and Lisa Kwon (L.A. Taco) join Jenn on the podcast to talk about a City Council race unlike any other -- in which Nithya Raman has forced David Ryu into a runoff for the District 4 seat. Plus, a dive into the Jose Huizar corruption scandal, and our predictions for the mayoral race in 2022.

Spike Friedman from Knock L.A. joins Jenn and Jeff to unpack all the bizarre propositions on the California ballot. Plus: tech companies' $200 million war against labor, the Big Lebowski's tax loophole, and the dystopic nightmare of a justice system determined by an algorithm.
