The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 2 (7.20) Andy’s in-studio guest tonight is Tom Carroll, the engaging host of the LA Times’ Instagram page “404,” serving up bite-sized, delicious chunks of all things Los Angeles. Andy’s been a fan since Tom’s “Tom Explores Los Angeles” days — he’s basically the millennial Huell Howser, a true local who started with tours and has never stopped showing off the city he loves. Tom highlights the IMAX 70mm print of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, with a big call to bring back that down-and-dirty, sexy film experience over digital. His top hidden gem? The charming little Steamers train ride in Griffith Park. For the best martinis in town, he recommends Hermon’s in Highland Park and the classic Musso & Frank in Hollywood. Listener TalkBacks roll in as Andy and Tom debate strip steak vs. pork chop, reminisce about Troy Donahue’s striking blue eyes, and Tom reveals he’d love to finally visit Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills.

Los Angeles hides an almost overwhelming number of ghosts behind its glamour, from the piano-playing spirit at Hollywood's Magic Castle and the body found in the Cecil Hotel's water tank to the sex-magick rocket scientist, Father Yod's robed disciples, and the cults that made the City of Angels a capital of the occult.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/hauntedlaREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p98dtw7CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:24.727 = Hollywood's Haunted Magic Castle00:09:13.905 = Los Angeles' Haunted Hotels ***00:27:05.636 = Los Angeles: City of the Occult ***00:51:50.907 = L.A.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.

The police are lined up around Griffith Stadium to keep the peace as the Washington Senators are visited by the New York Yankees. There's little love between the two teams or their fans; the last meeting in July ended with the Yankees' catcher Bill Dickey punching Carl Reynolds onto the injured list with a broken jaw. Dickey  Today's game will be Reynolds first game back, and following a 30-game suspension, Bill Dickey is catching once more.The 1932 Yankees are somewhat romanticised as a mythical and unstoppable force of nature; not every team can win 107 games and sweep the opposition in the World Series. Nor can most teams boast of nine future Hall of Fame players in the same roster, or go the entire season without being shut out.Except today. Washington pitcher Tommy Thomas is carrying a long-standing locked elbow and bone bruises in an arm lacking stamina, but he's ready to take the Yankees out. And take them out he does, shutting down both Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth in a combined 0-8 game.The opposing pitcher, Red Ruffing, is on course to top the American League for strikeouts. The powerhouse right-hander is going to post one of the most statistically rare and dominant individual performances of the live-ball era, cementing the legend of the 1932 Yankees' march to the pennant.One of them is going to be on the wrong side of the boxscore…Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from August 13, 1932.

Today's story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 291. In January of 2012, a police truck parked on a trail in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California. A member of the K-9 Unit opened the door, and a police dog named Indiana Bones jumped out. Indy quickly caught a scent and led his handler to a mound of dirt just off the path. Indy pawed at the dirt and revealed the top of a plastic bag. The dog's handler reached into the dirt with her gloved hands, pulled out the bag, looked inside, and saw two dismembered human feet and a hand. Indy's discovery would launch an investigation that would lead two L.A. detectives into the most insane case they'd ever worked – a case that would involve everything from Mexican drug cartels to a Canadian cannibal.   You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.16) In this episode, we’re taking on a wild mix of Los Angeles problems, pop culture chaos, ocean warnings, and everyday money drain. First, the L.A. Zoo is facing serious trouble. Unlike many major zoos across the country, the Los Angeles Zoo is still fully operated by the city, and a new grand jury report says that model may no longer be working. With aging facilities, financial pressure, a reported budget shortfall, and a sharp drop in memberships, one of L.A.’s most beloved attractions is facing big questions about its future. We also look at Downtown Los Angeles ranking near the bottom among major U.S. downtowns for vibrancy. DTLA has long been a symbol of big-city energy, but reports say it is struggling compared to other urban cores — raising the question: what happened to the heart of Los Angeles? Then we break down rent control and why it may not make properties more valuable. While rent control is often presented as a solution for renters, it can create serious challenges for homeowners, landlords, property values, maintenance, and housing supply. Next, we meet some big fans, get a peek into Bellio’s dating past, and remind everyone to be aware of king tides. High water is coming, and coastal communities need to pay attention. And finally, German fans want to meet Tim on Kester and Sherman Way, another shark alert hits the water with a reported 9-foot shark, and Roku may be changing owners. Meanwhile, we’re all getting drained by the never-ending costs of modern life — streaming services, cell phones, subscriptions, apps, and everything else that used to be cheaper back in the day. Plus, Tim still has trouble understanding Roku. Trending Keywords: L.A.

October 7, 1949. Los Angeles, California. 26-year old actress Jean Spangler leaves her home and asks her sister-in-law to watch over her daughter. Jean says she is planning to meet with her ex-husband and spend the night working on a film shoot, but she soon vanishes without a trace. Two days later, Jean's purse is discovered in Griffith Park, containing a cryptic note addressed to someone named “Kirk”. Since Jean had recently worked on a film starring actor Kirk Douglas, there is speculation that the note might be addressed to him, but he denies any knowledge of what happened. There are numerous theories surrounding Jean's disappearance, including speculation about a botched abortion, rumours about her becoming involved with organized crime figures, and even a potential connection to the “Black Dahlia” murder. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we shall cover an unsolved missing persons case which has remained one of Hollywood's most baffling mysteries.Support the Show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Spanglerhttp://charleyproject.org/case/jean-elizabeth-spanglerhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-oct-20-me-then20-story.htmlhttps://www.palmspringslife.com/the-mysterious-disappearance-of-jean-spangler/https://welkerlots.wordpress.com/2014/10/08/the-jean-spangler-premonition/“Hard Boiled Hollywood: Crime and Punishment in Postwar Los Angeles” by Jon Lewis“Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story” by Steve Hodel

Built in 1923, the Hollywoodland sign rose as a beacon of star-studded dreams. But not everyone who chased those dreams survived them. After a would-be starlet died at the sign, whispers spread that her spirit still lingered there. Yet the darker truth may run deeper—as the land beneath Hollywood's most famous symbol could have been cursed long before she climbed the hill.

Everything is political, even nature. That spark leads us into a wide-ranging conversation with Green-House—Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan—whose new album Hinterlands on Ghostly International proves that quiet, spacious music can still carry teeth. We trace the project's beginnings in LA: Olive escaping a soulless service job by walking Griffith Park, Michael offering early tech scaffolding, and the two slowly dissolving roles until the songs breathed on their own. Think Japanese environmental music and library records as wayfinders; sampled and real guitars treated like synths; textures that breathe, We dig into labels. “Ambient” doesn't fit sonically, but its non-hierarchical ethos does. “New Age” is another story: we talk wellness capitalism, spiritual packaging, and the lazy use of eastern signifiers, especially glaring in LA where cultish histories still hum under the surface. From there, we examine the streaming economy that rewards backgroundability, how algorithms sell artists their own data back, and why Green-House resist being flattened into spa-core.Green-House on Instagram:Hinterlands is released on Ghostly International on March 20thGreen-House on Bandcamp:https://green-house.bandcamp.com/album/hinterlandshttps://www.instagram.com/green_house1976/?hl=enHuge thanks to Audio-Technica – makers of beautifully engineered audio gear and sponsors of Lost and Sound.

Hey hey, Happy Friday, and welcome back to Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob — our weekly Friday ritual to pause, reflect, and connect.This week, Uncle Rob dives deep into one powerful theme that shaped both his professional and personal life: TRUST.From an inspiring conversation with best-selling author and workplace culture expert Minda Harts — exploring the seven trust languages and what it means to build genuine, trust-centered workplaces — to a heartfelt moment celebrating his grandson Leo's first birthday in Griffith Park, Uncle Rob discovers how trust weaves through every part of life.Through laughter, love, and reflection, he connects these moments to a larger question: how do we rebuild trust in each other, in our communities, and in our shared truths during a time when distrust seems to rule our world?Join the conversation as Uncle Rob unpacks lessons from Minda's wisdom, moments of family joy, and his own reflections on the state of our society — all reminding us that trust isn't just a concept… it's the foundation of who we are together.Watch, listen, and take a pause with Uncle Rob — because a little reflection can go a long way toward leaving the world better than we found it.

Welcome to our next airing of a CP LIVE* conversation, this time in celebration of Artober in conversation with Sofia Laçin and Hennessy Christophel, of LA-based Studio Tutto. On highway underpasses, school walls, public park welcome centers, and city water towers, the epic hand-crafted murals of Studio Tutto tell visual stories of invisible nature to help people connect and become familiar with what is surrounding us, but we often do not notice. Their “thoughtful site-specific pieces invite and incite softness and meaningful connection between people and place, and in so doing, they are “optimistically shaping the way we see ourselves and the world around us.” The interview and gathering for it took place around this same time last year, when Studio Tutto's Mural “Invisible Neighbors” was completed and unveiled for the first time as a centerpiece for the Welcome Center at LA's storied Griffith Park, one of the largest municipal parks embracing urban wilderness in the United States. With over 4200 acres of both natural chaparral and landscaped parkland, it is a complex and interesting refuge for humans, wildlife, and plant communities. Situated in the arid eastern Santa Monica Mountain Range, the park features varied topography and diverse plant communities, including coastal sage scrub, oak, and native walnut woodlands, as well as riparian creek vegetation and deep canyons. It is an ongoing experiment in how humans and wildlands intersect, interface, and, in the best-case scenarios, strive for a compassionate coexistence. One celebrated example of this struggle is the life of a mountain lion who spent his adult life in the park, became beloved by the world, and ultimately died there. When Studio Tutto was commissioned to create one of their powerful murals for the reopening of Griffith Park's historic welcome center, after much research and thought, their mural became “An artistic [visual] altar to the spirit of P-22 [and his last wild place].” The mandate for me in these CP LIVE experiences and interviews is to not only give voice to (as the podcast always does), but actually make visible the many diverse connections animated by the gardening impulse everywhere. What this conversation makes visible to me, and I hope to all listeners, is that gardening is a multifaceted act – it is physical, it is intellectual, it is artistic and imaginative, it is tangible, and symbolic. It is one lens and method by which we know nature, and by which we participate in the nature of the world, and the nature of ourselves. Through their larger-than-life art (or maybe it's art trying to meet a truer scale of life's enormity?), and the nature it brings into our view, Studio Tutto is growing, painting, and weaving the beauty of the sacred presence of nature back into everyday human places, and they are weaving humans back into nature's places, like Griffith Park. Are artists gardening our world? These artists are. The more we see and support the incredible diversity of who Gardeners are, what they grow, and what Gardens mean, the better we grow our world. ENJOY this artful conversation with Hennessy and Sofia! *CP LIVE is a series of 10 CP conversations recorded and filmed live on the home ground of, and in support of, the cultivators of place with whom we are in conversation. These events, and the upcoming documentary series, are filmed by Myriam Nicodemus and Khoa Huyhn of EM EN in South Bend, IN. The series was made possible in part by funding from the Catto-Shaw Foundation. Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Los Angeles' most famous cat changed how the world sees urban wildlife. In this episode, Beth Pratt, California Regional Executive Director for the National Wildlife Federation and leader of the #SaveLACougars campaign— joins me to talk about P-22's extraordinary life, humane euthanasia in 2022, and how his story is reshaping conservation far beyond Griffith Park. National Wildlife Federation+1California Fish and WildlifeBeth explains what we learned from P-22's final exam and necropsy, why officials made the call they did, and what it means for aging predators navigating city edges. We also dig into practical tips for safe wildlife encounters here in Ojai; how to avoid “acting like prey,” what to do if you meet a lion on the trail, and why the real risk is usually lower than people think. California Fish and WildlifeUC Davis School of Veterinary MedicineCBS NewsLooking forward, Beth updates us on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101, designed to reconnect the Santa Monica Mountains with critical habitat, reduce roadkill, and restore genetic flow for lions, bobcats, deer, and more. She also tells why corridors like this matter for every community, Ojai included. We talk migration pathways, backyard habitat, and how listeners can help build a landscape where people and predators both thrive. Caltranssmmc.ca.govWhether you loved P-22 for the Hollywood-sign photo or for the conversations he sparked, Beth's perspective is a masterclass in coexistence — and a roadmap for keeping wild neighbors wild. We did not talk about radiometric discoveries about the Great Pyramids, Lake Nile perch populations or the Milwaukee Brewer's surprising success.

Some paths in life aren't so much chosen as they are revealed—often through unexpected encounters, serendipitous moments, or a relentless tug of curiosity. The call to become a healer, to step into the role of a doctor, is often as much about who you are as what you do.In this conversation with Dr. Steven Rosenblatt, we step back into the early days of acupuncture in the West. From his serendipitous meeting with a renowned acupuncturist in Griffith Park to becoming the first Westerner licensed to practice acupuncture in the United States, Steven's story is a rich tapestry of curiosity, perseverance, and pioneering spirit.Listen into this discussion as we explore the underground days of acupuncture in Chinatown, the quest for legal recognition of the medicine, the challenges of integrating acupuncture into mainstream healthcare, and how becoming a doctor is as much an internal calling as it is an external practice.

Robin Greenfield is a transcendental environmental activist who has taken the concept of simplicity to its existential extreme. This conversation explores how Robin's radical approach to consumption challenges our assumptions about possession, examining his 1,600-mile journey down the Pacific coast, his current experiment living in Griffith Park with absolutely nothing, the nature of contentment, our interdependence with Earth, and the liberation found in surrendering attachment. At one point, he fashions a toothbrush from a California bay branch right before our eyes. Robin is minimalism personified. This conversation will recalibrate your material perspective. Enjoy!

In January of 2012, a police truck parked on a trail in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California. A member of the K-9 Unit opened the door, and a police dog named Indiana Bones jumped out. Indy quickly caught a scent and led his handler to a mound of dirt just off the path. Indy pawed at the dirt and revealed the top of a plastic bag. The dog's handler reached into the dirt with her gloved hands, pulled out the bag, looked inside, and saw two dismembered human feet and a hand. Indy's discovery would launch an investigation that would lead two L.A. detectives into the most insane case they'd ever worked – a case that would involve everything from Mexican drug cartels to a Canadian cannibal.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
