Phil Shuman welcomes Alison Martino, creator of "Vintage Los Angeles" and Spectrum News contributor, to discuss her upcoming feature on Spectrum News and her favorite LA locales. They also delve into updates on the recent LA wildfires. Later, actress and KFI's own entertainment reporter Heather Brooker joins to share insights on her multifaceted career and the latest in entertainment news. Phil and Heather also analyze the underwhelming performance of the new live action "Snow White" film. The hour concludes with a discussion on President Trump's recent interview, where he hinted at exploring avenues for a third term. 

Alison Martino is an acclaimed historian, producer, and more importantly, her brand Vintage Los Angeles has been a major catalyst for me personally in my journey of telling authentic L.A. stories! It was an honor to exchange our experiences of how we view Los Angeles, and go down memory lane with her. She has a wealth of knowledge about our beautiful city to share, as well as her never ending crusade to keep the history and vintage elements of L.A. alive and safe from demolition. Let's get into it!

Celebrities aren't typically huge fans of Modernist architecture. Most prefer a 1930's mansion or an Italianate villa. But there are a few, like Jennifer Aniston, Holland Taylor, Scott Caan, Kelly Lynch, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others who keep Modernist houses in the spotlight.  Today we'll talk with Alison Martino, producer, historian, and preservationist, the Godmother of Old Hollywood and Los Angeles.  Next up, Frank Sinatra expert Bill Boggs, and later, we'll learn about the Modernist town of Columbus Indiana from author Matt Shaw, with a new book.

A home that was in remarkable condition, exceptionally designed and on a list of homes to be saved in Beverly Hills. It's gone now. And you are going to hear how it happened.  Water under the bridge.

Alison Martino has been dubbed “The Godmother of Los Angeles,” and with good reason. As a writer, producer, on-air host for the Emmy-nominated SoCal Scene on Spectrum News 1, and creator of Vintage Los Angeles, she has been celebrating (and in some cases saving!) the history of this great city for years.  In this episode we discuss the history of the Sunset Strip - the places and spaces that used to be, the venues and hotspots that continue to represent its legendary past and the fate of its iconic staple, The Viper Room. She'll also share memories of growing up in LA as the daughter of famous singer, Al Martino.  For those of you who were lucky enough to experience the Strip in the 60s, 70s and 80s, this episode will be a nostalgic trip!

Today on part two of our encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we again talk to Alison Martino, daughter of singer Al Martino and guardian of her beloved LA and her Vintage Los Angeles social media properties. And because both Alison and host josh Mills are die hard denizens of the city of angels, there is a lot (and we mean a lot) of hand wringing over the changes that have happened to the city over the last few decades. Of course we continue our conversation about what it was like growing up as the daughter of her popular singer pop as we again delve into Paramount+'s The Offer about the making of The Godfather. Or maybe it was the maiming of The Godfather. Well, it depends on the viewer of course. We also get into old  schoolLas Vegas and how it worked when it was run by ‘the outfit' rather than corporations, why Vegas wasn't on the Martino touring circuit and more. So sit back and take a second listen to the second part of our interview with Alison Martino. Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by the child of a celebrity. Take a listen.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Alison Martino for the second time about growing up the daughter of singer/actor Al Martino. As the founder of Vintage LA, Alison has created an online juggernaut that has hundreds of thousands of fans wanting to know more about significant current landmarks as well as lost LA as well. We spoke to Alison in part one of this conversation on the heels of the Paramount+ series The Offer, which is based on the alleged story behind bringing The Godfather to the big screen. Of course, Al Martino plays the role of Johnny Fontaine in Part One and sings “I Have But One Heart” in the film. We also delve into her founding VLA and how it started almost as a lark. We also speak to Alison about her other gig, on Spectrum TV, bringing television viewers a slice of Los Angeles on the small screen in addition to devices of all kinds. It was great to talk to Alison, someone whose passion for LA is found in her collection of menu's, matchbooks, ephemera and other collections she passionately collects. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story. Here's part one of our Alison Martino interview, now.

Lord Kilby welcomes back Alison Martino, known as The Godmother of Vintage Hollywood. The two discuss the 100 Year Anniversary of The Hollywood Sign, an announcement on the legendary restaurant Trader Vic's, and the most beautiful actress they've seen in person. Plus, plenty of Los Angeles restaurant reviews. Sponsor: Shipstation.com/kilborn or use code KILBORN and sign up for your FREE 60-day trial Learn more about your ad choices.

Alison Martino on Al “Johnny Fontaine” Martino

Lord Kilby is joined by The Godmother of Los Angeles, Alison Martino - who happens to be the daughter of singer Al Martino, who played Johnny Fontane in The Godfather. Craig and Alison discuss her Father, Sinatra, her friendship with both Morrissey and Peter Bogdanovich, and of course The Godfather. Plus The Top 5 Movies of All Time.

Oy the kvetching in this one! This is part two of our conversation with Alison Martino and boy are she and our host working themselves up in a lather about the changes in LA. That's what happens when you get two born and bred Los Angelinos together talking about Vintage Los Angeles. But when you have a brand such as Alison's own Vintage LA, how could you not? So just get ready for a deep dive into long gone LA landmarks like The Garden of Allah, Butterfields, House of Blues, Tower Records and more. Aside from old LA, we also get to take hear some fabulous insider stories about Alison's dad Al Martino getting the part of Johnny Fontaine in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfatherwhich is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year as well as Paramount+'s streaming service limited series, The Offer. What's the series about? It's about the alleged/fictional/partly true story of how Al Martino got offered the part in The Godfather. If you love the inner workings of old Vegas, check out the stories about when ‘da boys' ran it as we hear first-hand accounts of how to get guests on the floor and gambling when Edie Adams was in the room  We are certainly eavesdropping on a conversation today, which  is very much an apt description of today's episode suggested by Alison. So thank you Alison. And we will take you up on the offer to host an upcoming episode….Josh would love to be your guest. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast.  

Alison Martino discusses old Hollywood // Godfather story /// Vintage LA discusess Palm Springs and how L.A. has changed // Studio City shooting at rented house // Gas Rebate Proposal //

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Alison Martino. Again. As in a second time. Alison was one of our first interviews we did post pandemic so it seemed only fitting that  we connect with her again as we are slowly coming out of the pandemic. It also seemed fitting that she would be the perfect person to be the first guest we've ever had on the podcast twice. Sure it didn't hurt that Alison's first episode was one of our most listened to episodes but what was fantastic about that first conversation was that both she and our host Josh Mills really had so many experiences that hit home that, in some ways, their experiences intertwined. And as Alison says on this episode, “There's a difference between show business and acting.' How right you are Alison. On this episode, we talk about her father, singer and yes actor, Al Martino who is having a resurgence of sorts in 2022 with the 50th anniversary of The Godfather this year but also that his song “I Have But One Heart” is featured in the film and the soundtrack to the superhero megahit, The Batman. We also talk about a new series coming from Paramount+ called The Offer which is based on the (somewhat) fictionalized tale of how Al Martino got the part of Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather. And while this is very much an Al-fest (not the real thing but an incredible simulation), we also do a deep dive into Alison's Vintage LA phenomenon. What started out as Facebook group made on a lark has become a massive social media presence and has literally hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. We delve into the beginnings of how this passion for her hometown spawned a rabid and  loyal fanbase which has turned into a career as a journalist for Spectrum TV, a writer and also a recognized resource for people who live in and are fascinated with the City of Angels all over the world. If it's happening in Los Angeles, you kind of do need Alison's stamp of approval to make it a truly successful event. It's so great to talk to Alison a second time as the Los Angeles from our youth is still very much alive on this podcast even if Greenblatt's delicatessen is not. These memories and conversation starters are all right here, in this episode, of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Alison Martino, deemed "The Godmother of Los Angeles," sits down with Robin to recap the history, the drama, and the beauty of vintage Hollywood. The two talk about the ever-evolving entertainment industry, how social media changed the concept of "celebrity," and why old Hollywood was seen as the most glamorous era of them all. Alison recounts personal stories with Doris Day, Lucille Ball, Natalie Wood, and recounts the long feud her father had with Frank Sinatra. Robin and Alison talk about their favorite hot spots in LA while sipping on dirty martinis; if you have plans to visit LA, you NEED to hear these recommendations! Alison talks about her preservation efforts, fighting hard to protect the historical landmarks that we know and love. This episode will give you a front-row look at some of the most intimate details of Hollywood!

We've got a lot going on right here in LA. And this is a very L.A.-centric episode of the show. The City Of Angels has undergone a lot of turmoil in the past two years. Like many cities in America, it has a houselessness problem that is beyond pale. Construction is running wild but it doesn't seem to be for anything that anyone wants or particularly needs, and yet, it is still L.A., and even the most dour predictions for the future are leavened by a glimmer of hope that some how, some way, something decent will prevail. We have two fantastic guests. Karie Bible came to Los Angeles by way of Texas, fell in love with LA and its history, and submerged herself in that history by way of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where she has been giving tours for lo about 20 years now. She has amazing stories of both the living and the dead, and we are super happy to have her today. And also, our old pal Alison Martino, a famed Los Angeles historian, she of the the L.A. Conservancy, the Vintage LA Facebook group and Vintage LA on Insta.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we talk to Alison Martino, daughter of Al Martino whose smooth baritone voice was sometimes classified as Popular Music or Classic Pop Romanticism but just don’t call him a crooner.

This week on We Know Weho we are joined by special guest Alison Martino. Alison is a native Los Angeles-based television producer, documentarian, columnist for Los Angeles Magazine and lifelong resident of the city. Her zeal for history and lifelong penchant for collecting has resulted in one of the largest collections of restaurant memorabilia, photographs, postcards, and matchbooks. Martino's affection for old Hollywood and her hometown's architecture led her to create the wildly popular Vintage Los Angeles (VLA)— an ever growing photo-centric Facebook page dedicated to highlighting L.A.'s physical transformation during the 20th Century, as well as its history as the center of the entertainment industry and community. Martino is also an advocate for historic preservation of the architecture that makes Los Angeles and its surrounding communities like West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica unique, and for the buildings that are iconic representations of the entertainment industry. She worked to bring back the original Chasen's Chili, has helped to preserve the original caricatures on the walls of The Palm Restaurant and save vintage signs on the Sunset Strip.

Nowhere in the world celebrates Modernism better than Palm Springs, California.  Every February, they have a huge architecture and design festival called Modernism Week, which actually lasts 11 days. This was the fifth year USModernist has been at Modernism Week, talking poolside at the USModernist Compound, aka the hip Hotel Skylark, with nearly all the keynote speakers, authors, and special guests. When modern-day Dorothy's kick their red ruby slippers together, they don’t go to Kansas, they land next to in Frank Sinatra’s pool in Palm Springs. Modernism Week is a dazzling spectacle of mid-century architecture, martinis, lectures, art galleries, shopping, nonprofit benefit events, architecture documentary premieres, amazing parties at incredible houses, brilliantly curated house tours, detailed art and architecture exhibits, and much more.   Today we kick off 2020 Modernism Week coverage with architect Daniel Libeskind, known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany, the master plan for the World Trade Center reconstruction and memorial, and the Danish Jewish Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark. He’s one of the world’s most highly regarded architects and someone people can trust to work with projects of great meaning and significance, especially where loss in involved.   Next, host George Smart visits with the Queen of Palm Springs, the woman everyone wants to talk to by the pool, Nelda Linsk.  Later a delightful chat with Alison Martino, producer, writer, reporter, preservationist, and a master chronicler of old Hollywood, in which she grew up as the daughter of singer Al Martino.

Happy Holiday! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanza, Stellar Snowman Independence Day, Spooky Snow Halloween! Whatever it takes! We have a wonderful show to send you off into the holidays and then we'll see you again in the New Year with a couple surprises. Mehopes you like them. Two great guests today, Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago is here. The Pixies have been one of my favorite bands since I first started seeing them when we were both starting out back in Boston. And I'm incredibly happy to have Joey on the show. They have a new album out called Beneath The Eeire. It's great. I own it. You should too. Also, Los Angeles historian Alison Martino is here. Alison was a producer on Hollywood Mysteries and Scandals and runs the Vintage Los Angeles Facebook and Instagram accounts. She grew up in Los Angeles. Her dad was the singer Al Martino who played Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather, so she has seen it all from a first hand perspective. I have some great shows coming up in the new year, including a staged reading of Plan 9 at Sketchfest in San Francisco. Go to https://www.DanaGould.com/events for information and ticket links.
