And LA has a big and militant alliance of immigrants rights groups that are fighting Trump. Harold Meyerson will explain the deportation battle in Southern California at this point.

We kick off Season 20 of The Unibrow's Radio Juxtapoz podcast with a conversation with Mexican-American, Los Angeles-based painter, Salomón Huerta. What started as scheduling a conversation with Huerta around the opening of his solo show Stillness, which opened at Harper's in NYC in the spring, and he and I wanting to catch up after Huerta lost his home in Altadena in the fires that ravaged Southern California in January 2025 became another conversation about fires in LA County: just as we click confirmation on our time to meet up, ICE raids throughout LA had put the city into shock, sparking mass protests, National Guard and Marines being brought to the streets to heighten tensions and has left the Mexican-American community in fear. Not only did Huerta want to talk about the current climate here but his own personal story of being an immigrant to America. Born in Tijuana, Mexico in 1965, his story is one of a meteoric rise in the fine art world (shows at Gagosian in 2001 just as he left UCLA) to soul-searching after his initial success to now creating some of the most personal works to date. There is so much of Huerta's story I didn't know, so on this episode of the podcast, I speak with him about the creation of his famed "back of head" portraits, the genesis of the gun paintings and how he began to develop the pool and home works he is know for now. And, of course, we talk about LA, how his community is rattled and what that means for him in the future. From a wild story of John Baldessari's sort-of critique of his MFA work, to an upcoming show at Marc Selwyn Fine Art, this is an honest must-listen. —Evan PriccoThe Unibrow's Radio Juxtapoz podcast⁠ is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠⁠⁠Evan Pricco⁠⁠⁠.

Nick sits down with a truly impressive figure in public service, Ryan Alsop, the Chief Executive Officer for Napa County in today's informative and fascinating episode. Ryan's career is a notable path through the demanding world of California government, from LA County to Kern County, and now leading one of the most renowned regions globally. He and Nick get into what it really means to lead, the absolute necessity of staying humble and always learning, and how he thinks about building teams and genuine connections. Ryan shares a central belief that shapes his entire approach: the need to "get better at everything," a surprising and refreshing take from someone at his level. He talks about the many hats a CEO wears, from understanding complex fiscal issues and managing sensitive personnel matters to navigating a global pandemic, which he did in Kern County. It's this commitment to being always a student – constantly listening, reading, and developing – that really stands out. And it's not just talk; he lives it, viewing even his best skills as having room for improvement. You do not want to miss this episode - there's so much here for leaders at any stage. Episode Highlights: • Ryan's deep belief in humility and the constant need for self improvement • His philosophy on hiring • Why authentic connections and truly seeing people are fundamental to Ryan's leadership • Handling complex California government landscapes with integrity and strategic awareness • Learning from both positive examples and from behaviors he chooses not to emulate • The important role his family plays in grounding him, supporting work life balance, and fueling his dedication • Ryan's passion for creating tangible value in the lives of his team and the wider community he serves • Finding wisdom and guidance from a wide array of people and experiences • Valuing broad mentorship Key Takeaways: "If you're holding your subordinates' hands too often, you hired the wrong person. Let them do their job." "Success comes from working hard and being someone others can count on. If you're not counted on, you're discounted." "Experience changes who you are. With time, you learn to listen more and take yourself less seriously." "My job is to mitigate chaos, keeping the organization and elected officials on a calm, productive path." "Be politically astute, but avoid being political. Understand agendas, but don't meddle." "Nobody likes a know-it-all. Practice humility and learn from others." "Authenticity is critical. Be genuine and deliberate in your relationships and business dealings." "Hiring is crucial. Always recruit people smarter than you to build a strong organization." "Always improve. Stay in school, keep learning, and never stop developing as a person." "Family is everything. They're the engine that drives you, motivating you through every challenge."

Unlicensed, the first fiction show created by Jeffrey and Joseph since Night Vale, returns for a third season.⁠  Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch are unlicensed private detectives, scraping by on whatever cases they can get from their little office on the fringes of LA County. Reeling from a devastating betrayal and a major earthquake, this season finds Lou and Molly trying to rebuild their lives and evaluate their futures. But those futures might not be as long as they hope. Lou and Molly start what appears to be a quiet case: a series of strange home break-ins all involving ex-employees of a defunct Long Beach stereo manufacturer. But this case will quickly bring them up against an opponent more ruthless and resourceful than they've ever faced before. Lou and Molly have always gotten by on their wits, but what to do when facing an enemy who can outmatch them in both wits and violence? A cat and mouse game through the forgotten regions of Southern California, including a shady direct-to-video movie studio, the unglamorous workers neighborhoods of glamorous Catalina Island, and the distant remote parts of the desert, where help cannot reach you in time. There will be grave danger. There will be deaths. But maybe some things matter more than survival. ⁠Listen with a free Audible trial today.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Scholar Dr. Anne Soon Choi has just written L.A. Coroner:Thomas Noguchi and Death in Hollywood, the first-ever biography of Dr. Tsunetomi "Thomas" Noguchi, the Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner of the County of Los Angeles from 1967 to 1982. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Noguchi conducted autopsies on some of the most high profile and controversial figures in American history, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kennedy, Sharon Tate and other victims of the Manson Family, Janis Joplin, John Belushi, and Natalie Wood. His elaborate press conferences, which often generated more controversy than they did answers, catapulted him into the public eye and made him a celebrity in his own right. He was the inspiration for the popular television drama Quincy, M.E. starring Jack Klugman, and penned the bestselling 1983 book Coroner.
