This week in Episode #693, Wayne talks with Stephan Franck, an acclaimed cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director! He has a Kickstarter underway for both Romance in the Age of the Space God and Palomino! Stephan is quite the accomplished creator, and his Kickstarter is for his stand-alone graphic novella called Romance in the Age of the Space God and his Ringo-Award nominated crime mystery Palomino. Here's how both are described: “Part Sci-fi thriller,  part slice-of-life, and part political satire, Romance in the Age of the Space God drops us into a world not unlike ours, where things once thought impossible have happened. Also, a captivating neo-noir crime mystery, Palomino begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where we meet Eddie Lang, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his six-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter--who might even be more hardboiled than he is!” We explore both creations, who the various characters are, how these stories came to be, and also talk about an important project I'm particularly fond of that Stephan helped bring to the big screen. Be sure to back this excellent comics project before it concludes on Monday, June 6, at 2:59 a.m. EDT.

Our 400th episode! On today's show we welcome April Manatt, Executive Director of the California Problem Solvers Foundation. The California Problem Solvers' mission is to help elected officials find solutions through collaboration and mutual respect, and work in service to the people they represent. In short, to "put people over party," a nearly radical idea in today's hyper-partisan political environment.Prior to joining the Problem Solvers, Manatt ran the California Legislative Staff Education Institute. CLSE, a program of Capitol Impact, is dedicated to professional development for legislative staff, offering opportunities for staff to gain a deeper understanding of complex policy issues through discussions with experts, field trips and engagement with other staffers.Manatt spoke with us about her work in both of these organizations, and the importance of bipartisanship in policy making bridging the divide.Plus, as always, we tell you Who Had the Worst Week Week in California Politics.:20 400th Episode3:38 What's new at Capitol Weekly5:07 Speaking of interns: Ellie Appleby and Leah Lentz 9:14 April Manatt9:47 California Problem Solvers Foundation and Caucus12:53 "A labor of love"13:20 A challenging time to be doing this work15:18 Your role in the org16:43 Who funds the Foundation?19:20 California Legislative Staff Education Institute24:00 Relationship building24:39 How do staff participate?26:55 Attitude of the Problem Solvers Caucus31:56 Getting legislators out of the building to see what they are voting on32:57 Obligatory Alex Vassar mention33:57 What efforts have the Problem Solvers been involved in?37:06 What's on the agenda for the Foundation?40:03 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

We hear a lot of discussion about what it takes to campaign for Governor of California, but, as in the 1972 film The Candidate, not so much about what it takes to govern the state. Former Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg has served as an advisor to governors and want-to-be-governors for decades. With the race to replace Governor Gavin Newsom in 2026 heating up, Hertzberg joined us to share his Six Principles for Governing California.

As her final term in the senate comes to an end, Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman joined us to reflect on her twelve years in the state legislature. A self-described "pragmatic progressive," Eggman represents the 5th Senate District - San Joaquin County, parts of Stanislaus County and the Sacramento County community of Galt - areas which saw a significant Republican shift this year; San Joaquin County went to Trump in 2024.  We asked what she thought her party could do to speak to disaffected voters, what she saw as her successes from her time in office, and where she goes from here.Plus, Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics?:40 How can Democrats do a better job of connecting with voters?5:13 Messaging9:25 "You can't let the base drive the conversation"10:48 Disconnect on crime12:22 "People will rise to the expectations we put on them"15:44 The status of CA's mental health system18:50 A look back and a look forward20:41 The End of Life Act21:49 Involuntary care22:44 Right to Repair26:01 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Michael Weinstein is the president of the LA-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a sprawling international nonprofit with the stated mission of providing its 1.5 million global clients with “cutting-edge medicine and advocacy regardless of ability to pay.” Weinstein is also the driving force behind several statewide ballot measures, including two previously failed attempts to implement statewide rent control. Undeterred, he is back again this year with a new rent control measure on the November ballot. This time he could also face a challenge of his own – a competing measure aimed at limiting his ability to use AHF funds for these other political campaigns. He's here today to talk about all of this with us.1:40 What exactly would the Justice for Renters Act do if voters endorse it this time around?4:10 The rent is too damn high8:15 Prop 13 comparisons10:30 L.A. rental unit conditions16:20 Heavy handed evictions?19:55 The 98 percent mandate22:15 Paying for signatures27:20 Legislative support?30:40 What if this fails?33:50 This feels personal37:30 Worst Week – The Impeachment BluesWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

David "Dawg" Grisman: Stéphane Grappelli told me that, when he and Django first met and started playing together in between sets at a big hotel in Paris, he said they were basically trying to imitate Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti. George Cole: Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Listeners out there in podcast land, that is a very important piece of information, because if you read the books, people will try to tell you that Django was mostly influenced by Duke Ellington, who's great, and Louis Armstrong, who's great. We love all that. But I've always thought the same thing as you just mentioned.Welcome, welcome to the Hot Jazz Network Podcast. I'm your host, George Cole. On our show today, we have one of the most important musicians in American history. He's a legendary mandolinist and composer, but more important, he's also my friend. He's the creator of Dawg Music, has recorded with Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, Doc Watson, Del McCoury, and countless others.Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only David Grisman, the man we call Dawg.

On this Matteo Mancuso interview: Why he isn't a “social media sensation” and his #1 goal that REALLY drives him… Backstory to some of the best tracks off his new album, The Journey… Lessons learned from recording his first LP, why Playing Live is “More about feeling than execution,” and the interesting way he came to this conclusion, a low point in his life and his guitar playing - and why this happened… The most difficult part of his technique, that he's worked on improving the most… the ONE THING that's happened to him that's allowed him to become the person he is today, his capacity to stay calm in all sorts of situations… his tremendous sense of gratitude and not taking anything for granted, and who told him why “He'll do best in life if he's doing the thing he likes the most.” GREAT conversation, with a super cool and incredibly professional young man - we'll be hearing a LOT more from Matteo over the next several years!

Prior to his appointment as California State Librarian in 2014, Greg Lucas was a longtime journalist, covering California politics for The Los Angeles Daily Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle and even Capitol Weekly. Much of his 20 year run at The Chron was spent in or around the Capitol, covering the legislature or the Governor, or kibitzing with other reporters. Oh, how things have changed.If the Dome is the most iconic part of the Capitol building in Sacramento, its heart was The Annex, an unfussy and businesslike addition that was begun in 1949 and completed in 1952. The Annex housed nearly all legislators' offices, the Governor's Office, and Room 1190 - where every governor from Earl Warren to Gavin Newsom has held regular Press Conferences. This month marks the end of an era as wrecking crews began the demolition of the Annex in preparation for a new, expanded Capitol Annex to be built in its place.In this episode Lucas joins us for a wide-ranging discussion that includes his memories of The Annex, the fraternal culture that prevailed in the building decades ago, the changing nature of political media coverage, the role the Schwarzeneggers played in reimagining the Capitol, and a look at the nature of Democracy itself.And, as always we tell you Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.Episode Notes:1:27 Memories of the Annex5:27 Seating arrangements7:37 Jerry Gilliam on Pat Brown9:40 New Annex origin story: Arnold Schwarzenegger12:18 Maria Shriver's influence16:27 The Doghouse19:22 The fraternity22:30 Uncle Frank23:40 Sen.

Staffers, journalists and even lobbyists can get confused trying to understand the very specific processes and deadlines guiding the signing - or veto - of a bill, by the Governor. How long does the Governor have to sign or veto a bill? Does the 12 day timeline include weekends and holidays? When does the 30-day timeline start? And what happens when the Legislature adjourns?Our guest today answers all of these questions and explains the process. Lobbyist Chris Micheli, is the author of several books on lobbying, teaches at University of the Pacific, and is a frequent contributor to Capitol Weekly. He explains the bill signing calendar, and looks at what can happen when things go wrong. And, if you're caught bringing a knife to a gunfight, he might be just the guy you want on your side.

On May 19, Governor Newsom offered a series of proposals to revise the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA). The 1970 law was intended to limit unintended consequences of development, but has increasingly been used to slow or derail environmentally-positive projects ranging from infill development to solar installations. Reforming CEQA has long been a priority in Sacramento, and Newsom's proposals were hailed by many in both the business and environmental communities.Legislative leaders were less impressed - especially with the lighting fast timeline -  and a Senate budget committee sidelined the proposals a week later. However, we all know that nothing ever dies in Sacramento, so the Governor's plan is more likely than not to be revisited - the question is when.Many of the ideas in these reform proposals were contained in a California Forward report that detailed a set of actions that would accelerate infrastructure projects, and "promote equity, environmental sustainability and economic growth in the state." The report was the culmination of a partnership between Governor Newsom's office, former Los Angeles Mayor and and State Infrastructure Advisor Antonio Villaraigosa, CA FWD and the Boston Consulting Group, a strategic advisor on delivering new infrastructure ecosystems.On this episode of the Capitol Weekly Podcast we are joined by Mayor Villaraigosa and CA FWD CEO Micah Weinberg, who detail the results of the report and discuss why CEQA reform is - in their view - sorely needed.And, as always we tell you who had the worst week in California Politics.Notes:2:21 The report, and the governor's take on it7:11 Met with over 1000 shareholders7:55 What about CEQA's defenders11:01 The Green Bank financing system12:51 Workforce?16:50 Where are the disparate labor groups on this?17:44 "A once in a generation opportunity"20:35 What next?24:26 "No state would be so stupid as to have environmental exceptions for sports stadiums but not for climate adaptive infrastructure"31:05 WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Early 1920s recordings by jazz guitarist, Eddie Lang. 

The landmark Lanterman-Petris-Short Act of 1967 was intended to to “end the inappropriate, indefinite, and involuntary commitment of persons with mental health disorders” by setting strict guidelines for handling the involuntary civil commitment of individuals to mental health institutions. While lauded by civil rights advocates, critics contend the law is actually an impediment to care for those suffering from severe mental illnesses, often leading to them being homeless or incarcerated.  On this episode of the Capitol Weekly podcast, Rich Ehisen and Dan Morain welcome Sens. Susan Talamantes-Eggman and Roger Niello, two of the three primary sponsors on SB 43,  a bill that would add new criteria to the definition of what constitutes someone being considered "gravely disabled," the standard by which a person can be involuntarily held for treatment. 2:28 What is SB 43?3:45 Why Niello is co-sponsoring7:10 A return to institutions?8:50 Jails and mental health10:30 Are we spending state mental dollars wisely?12:30 SB 43's potential impact17:00 Local governments25:00 personal connections27:00 What's different from last year's failed bill?29:40 Worst Week, Dianne Feinstein Want to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Friend of the Pod Bill Wong joins us to chat about his new book, Better to Win. Wong, a renowned strategist to a bevy of major California Democrats, provides candid and occasionally Machiavellian advice to those who aspire not only to fight for justice, but to win those fights.Wong's story is filled with names familiar to followers of California politics, and gives the fascinating backstory to public fights, like the clandestine - and ultimately successful - effort to derail the appointment of Dan Lungren as State Treasurer.Better to Win examines the mindset and machinery involved in the use of power and the sacrifices necessary to affect meaningful change for those who don't (yet) have a voice in the halls of power. This book shares skills and strategies for change agents and powerful stories of Asian Americans who played and continue to play an important role at the table where decisions are made.1:43 What was the inspiration for the book?3:17 The art of communication6:03 The era of Term Limits8:27 Relationships and trust10:06 How to upend a gubernatorial appointment: Dan Lungren edition14:17 The AAPI Caucus17:29 The Covid backlash against AAPI19:40 "The worst thing right now is the deafening silence from the Republican Party"21:19 Racist ads in CD4521:57 Democrats' "sub-optimal messaging"29:42 Advice for Tennessee Democrats?36:55 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom released a proposal for a $3 billion bond measure aimed at the 2024 ballot, to fund housing for people with severe mental illness. At the same time, Newsom asked the legislature to revise 2004's Proposition 63 - which enacted a 1% on individuals with earnings of $1 million or more, used to help people with mental illness - to help provide more money for housing the mentally ill. These latest moves follow Newsom's other recent efforts to engage on the issue of homelessness, something his predecessors in the Horseshoe have largely tried to avoid.  Author and journalist Dan Morain joined us to talk about the governor's proposals, and digs into the half century of policy and politics that got us to where we are today. The common answer is: The Lanterman Petris Short Act, but, as Dan explains, LPS is only part of the story.  Also, Dan shared his own experience about finding care for a family member unable to live on his own after a devastating accident.1:16 The Governor's proposals.
