Election Day is almost here, and in most of California, there's just one measure on the ballot: Proposition 50. Backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, Prop 50 aims to create more Democratic-leaning districts. It's a move to counter Texas's redistricting plans favoring Republicans. And  some heavy hitters are lining up on both sides, including former President Barack Obama, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. KQED Politics and Government Correspondent Guy Marzorati joins us to talk about some of the finer points of the ballot measure. Plus we meet vocalist and musician Khatchadour Khatchadourian. He plays an ancient double reed woodwind carved from apricot wood called the duduk that has cultural ties to Armenia. Khatchadourian is one of the few in the Bay Area who plays the instrument, and his followers call him the “Duduk Whisperer.” Our producer Elize Manoukian brings us this profile of Khatchadourian, who uses the duduk to push the boundaries of traditional Armenian music, and along the way, is helping to preserve cultural identity through sound. And we head to Altadena where the the first handful of new homes are under construction in parts of fire ravaged city. Most people won't be moving back in for several months. But some neighborhoods that were completely wiped out in the Eaton Fire are already being resettled by property owners living in trailers and RV's. As reporter Steven Cuevas discovered, these residents could be key to restoring the spirit and resilience that's defined Altadena for decades. Learn more about your ad choices.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITYour cheese might be hiding more than flavor. We dig into new research showing widespread microplastics in dairy—why aged cheeses often carry higher particle counts than fresh, how packaging and processing contribute, and a few low-effort habits (like switching to glass for hot foods) that meaningfully shrink daily exposure without forcing you to give up the foods you love. This isn't alarmism; it's practical steps to reduce a dose we're all already getting.Then we pivot to a branding shocker: Long John Silver's leaning into chicken and reworking its logo. We unpack what a seafood chain's clucking signal means for fast-food identity, how market gravity pulls legacy brands off course, and why a logo only works if the menu and experience back it up. If nostalgia made you love the golden fish, can a spicy chicken plank earn the same loyalty—or does the switch dilute the promise? We talk product quality, rollout timing, and the tightrope between evolution and confusion.Finally, we head to the foothills of Altadena, where Powerball winner Edwin Castro is buying wildfire-scorched lots with plans to rebuild single-family homes. We explore what responsible redevelopment looks like: fire-resistant materials, defensible space, modern codes, and design choices that foster real community rather than speculation. Money can speed permits and framing, but trust depends on transparency, fair deals with sellers, and homes that add safety and belonging.Along the way, we share a quick weekend recap, shout out a favorite performer, and leave you with a seasonal prompt to join the conversation.

When you talk about Altadena, you can't not talk about its trees. It's why one young Altadenan is documenting the stories of the community's trees in the wake of the Eaton Fire.

When the Altadena fires devastated Southern California communities, two organizations came together in an extraordinary way. Binky Patrol Director, Jeanne Malgioglio found ROWW while we and Al's Angels were looking for a way to respond and directly help the fire victims in Altadena. Susan Finch sits down with John Brotherton, Outreach and Partnership Manager for Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW), to discuss how a charity founded by actor Paul Walker has evolved into a powerhouse of compassionate disaster response. From curating personalized care packages in garages to operating full-scale distribution centers, John shares the intimate story of how dignity, authenticity, and community mobilization transformed chaos into hope. This conversation reveals the unexpected ways everyday skills—from truck driving to coffee making—can save lives during a crisis. About ROWW: Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit founded by actor Paul Walker. In January of 2010, after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Walker spontaneously organized a relief team that responded to the disaster. On the trip, he identified a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Upon returning from Haiti, ROWW was established with the purpose of fulfilling this unmet need. ROWW continues to respond internationally to natural disasters worldwide ranging from earthquakes to hurricanes. The organization's teams are small, allowing them to gather and deploy quickly. They pack efficiently so that they can carry their gear into the most remote and desperate regions. These are the people that have been excluded from the media attention and are too small or inconvenient for the larger non-profits to reach. It would have been far easier and cheaper for Walker to affiliate his efforts with an existing organization and check in from time to time, but he didn't. He chose to get dropped off from a helicopter in Haiti, during a very unstable time, without a plan, in hopes of personally helping those in need. He accomplished his goal and was hooked. Next, he shifted his schedule around to go to aid those in need in Chile. Again, he not only funded the trip but also gave his own time. After a few more deployments he was finally at peace with his profession as he knew it was allowing ROWW to exist.

The Eaton Fire tore through the Los Angeles suburb of Altadena, part of a storm that killed 19 people. It became one of the most expensive natural disasters in U.S. history, but the ultimate cost won't be tallied in dollars and cents. That will be calculated on a different ledger: the number of residents who return to this block of West Las Flores Drive and the countless others like it.This story follows these residents. The Washington Post has spent months with three families from this Altadena street, the epicenter of the wildfire's destructive path, following their separate journeys as they asked themselves excruciating questions and struggled to imagine their futures in a place they fear will never again feel like home.Reis Thebault, Nick Kirkpatrick, Melina Mara and Alice Li reported the piece. Thebault wrote and narrated it. Bishop Sand composed music and produced audio.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Pasadena-based artist Linnéa Gabriella Spransy talks about: Growing up between Wisconsin and a commune in Oregon, the latter which she describes as a complete commitment more than an experiment (the town was Wildeville, Cape Junction being the closest city); how you radically live out the life of Christianity, including giving away all their stuff, and how her father played in a Christian glam rock band that toured the world; having a positive commune experience, yet winding up ‘inevitably becoming part of the machine,' aka capitalism, despite her wonderings as a child, which are still there; her period living and working in Kansas City for seven years after grad school at Yale, figuring out which voices to use in her work and make enough to have a house and a nice studio, and yet felt claustrophobic by its limitations and where she saw herself in the future if she had stayed there; her mantra in Kansas City, “if there's no pressure, I still do it,” in determining what work she would keep making no matter what; her intense experience at Yale, where everyone, even the future stars, received harsh criticism for a range of reasons; the big advantages of artists who are extroverted charmers, especially in comparison to the ‘ambiverts,' as Linnea calls them (and who we both essentially identify as), and even more so the more misanthropically aligned artists; her tenure co-founding Bridge Projects, a spiritually-oriented gallery in Hollywood, which had the misfortune of opening days before the pandemic. In the Patreon BONUS episode (379A), twice as long as episode 379/the public feed, Linnea also talks about: Her complex take on the existential state we're in politically and culturally in the context of history, in which she identifies with people from numerous eras of the past, confronting their own challenging times and what we have in common; her experience living in Pasadena as a diverse place with a significant history and culture, and, as a neighbor to Altadena, what their respective roles have been as neighborhoods for artists in the context of the Eaton fire; her different working methods, from the through-the-process-oriented abstraction, as opposed to her much more research-based figurative work…she describes each of them as working different muscles; in the context of her ‘growing a human person,' as she put it, the importance of having a rich internal life, interesting things, interesting people…; and whether she should get a studio in an artist building downtown, vs. sticking with her garage studio at home. She also asks (and to some extent answers) a question in support of the future artist advice podcast, The Intrepid Artist.

Those standing up to climate and environmental injustice face challenges they weren't seeing a year ago. But Gloria Walton, head of The Solutions Project, sees a bigger picture: "The reality is that the same systems that created the climate crisis, whether that's colonialism, white supremacy, racism, and the patriarchy, those are the same ones that have harmed communities of color for generations,” she says. Her organization has channeled tens of millions of philanthropic dollars to grassroots efforts that build community resilience.  Black Girl Environmentalist founder Wawa Gatheru is helping more Black girls, women, and gender-expansive people enter and lead in the climate space. She says the climate fight has shifted from education to action, with over 70% of Americans now understanding that climate change is real. So what should this 'action phase' look like?

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”Step into the evolving world of Erozilla, the multifaceted beat maker whose journey has transformed from crafting innovative sounds to building a legacy through education. Two years after his first appearance on the Wreck Show, Erozilla returns with exciting news about his Erozilla Beat Academy—a groundbreaking initiative teaching digital music production across Los Angeles communities.The conversation takes us through Erozilla's impressive creative expansion since our last meeting. From rocking stages at X-Fest and Rhymefest LA to curating Lo-Fi Dena (a hardware-only open mic for beat makers), his commitment to live performance shines through. With over 500 unique live sets under his belt, Erozilla proudly shares that he's "never played two of the same beat shows ever," highlighting his dedication to authentic, in-the-moment creativity.Beyond performance, Erozilla dives deep into his production philosophy, challenging the notion that expensive equipment equals better music. "My DAW is my brain," he explains, demonstrating how he can transform a single kick drum into an entire beat through creative manipulation. This resourcefulness defines his approach to teaching the next generation, providing them with free software and sound packs while emphasizing the importance of understanding musical roots before AI completely transforms the landscape.The episode also explores Erozilla's prolific catalog, including his conceptual project "Beat Pimping" and his latest release "Frigid," both available on Bandcamp. He shares candid thoughts about streaming platforms, questioning the reliability of metrics and fair compensation in the digital age—a perspective that explains his preference for Bandcamp and physical media.Perhaps most moving is Erozilla's discussion of the recent Altadena fires, which devastated a historically significant Black artistic community. His connection to this area through his children's school and his work at Trade School reveals the personal impact of this tragedy, while offering ways listeners can support rebuilding efforts.Ready to experience Erozilla's unique musical universe and perhaps become part of his educational movement? This episode offers a perfect entry point into the world of a true beat innovator who's not just making music but creating community, preserving tradition, and building a legacy that will shape the future of beat making.

Michelle Huneven is the author of six novels including Round Rock, Jamesland, Off Course, Blame, Search and — most recently — Bug Hollow. Bug Hollow is a story about the Samuelsons, who lose their 18-year-old son in an accident. The book ripples out from there in a kaleidoscopic way, following the parents, siblings, girlfriend and others into the distant future and around in time to see how their lives play out. It's told in chapters – or stories – from each character's perspective. And it's largely set in Altadena, where Michelle is from. It's really a love letter to that town that was so devastated by the wildfires this past January (though written well before the fires). While in the process of publishing Bug Hollow, Michelle lost two homes in the fire. She joins Marrie to talk about the book, as well as writing through tragedy and how she might process this event in her work. She also talks about the risks of being a perfectionist as a writer, and what helped her through that challenge. (She recommends this essay by Leslie Jamison). She shares how writing prompts led her to write this novel, the importance of having a trusted reader, the best training she received as a writer, and so much more. After the podcast ended, Michelle shared her 76 favorite writing prompts with us. These are prompts she used to write this novel, prompts she shares with her students, and prompts she uses in her own writing practice. We're offering those prompts (one per day) over the next 10 weeks to our subscribers on Patreon. For more information on Writers on Writing and to become a supporter, visit our Patreon page.
