She was the daughter of a journalist. She watched her father report local news and become a small-town celebrity. She was enthralled with his stories, and his knowledge of everything from politics to people. And when she was 10 years old, Deborah Holt watched her father, Bob Holt, snoop out one of the biggest stories of his career: the kidnapping and murder of Santa Barbara resident Olga Duncan. Deborah Holt, now Larkin, has just released a book, A Lovely Girl, a spectacular true crime story about how Duncan was abducted from her apartment in the middle of the night and found dead a month later near Ventura. “I was just shocked that this could happen,” Larkin told Noozhawk. “I took it very personally. I identified with Olga and I worried that something like that could happen to me. I am interested in learning about killers, and what motivates them.” Larkin said the biggest lesson she wants people to take from her novel is that a killer is not necessarily a stranger or an intruder. Sometimes, it's the person in your own home. In the case of A Lovely Girl, it was Duncan's mother-in-law. The book is also a memoir, with chapters that alternate between true crime and the personal story of Larkin hearing her father clattering away on a typewriter late at night in his study. She soaked up the details of her father's craft, and, in doing so, learned about the macabre demise of Olga Duncan.

Architect Anthony Grumbine believes the State Street promenade needs an interim plan because we're currently allowing a "B-level," or even "C-level," which is below Santa Barbara's standards. "Shouldn't we at least have a basic, good, interim design in the meantime that is actually doable as an interim solution," Grumbine said on the latest episode of Santa Barbara Talks. "The reality is that some of those interim solutions are going to be around for 10 years probably. So why the heck are we allowing this to be a B-level city, or even a C-level city in terms of what it looks like, compared to what it could be." Grumbine said if it is going to take at least five more years before anything is actually built out on State Street, something needs to happen sooner. "We're so many years from having anything actually done," Grumbine said. "It's going to take years and years to get a plan. It's going to take years and years and years to fund and build that plan. And it's going to be done in portions." Grumbine also chairs of the Santa Barbara Historic Landmarks Commission. In this podcast, he talks about State Street, the future of De la Guerra Plaza, and the city's housing challenges. In his role as an architect and as HLC chair, Grumbine explains what he looks for in a project, and how the architecture should serve the function of the building. He talks about the principles of strength, function and beauty in architecture. "Is it not just of this immediate fad or style, but actually a quality thing that is going to be beautiful for years to come, and actually be looked at like we look at these buildings that are 50, 100 years old, and they are still beautiful," Grumbine said. "There was this ingenuity to them, but they had this classic feel like they are never going to go out of style." Grumbine also teaches architecture for Holy Apostles College & Seminary, and is an architect and principal at Harrison Design. Grumbine's architecture projects range from new and remodeled churches, to Catholic campus buildings, to historic restoration and private residences, according to his website.

He recently opened for American Idol superstar Jackson Gilles at concert at SOhO. In this podcast, Erickson talks about how he decided to focus on his musical dreams after the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

It didn't work out for me." So he opted to pursue his music. His dad bought him a computer with software so that he could create, edit and produce his music. Around that time he contracted COVID-19. "I was trapped inside for 10 days," Erickson said. "Instead of playing video games, or zoning out and watching Netflix, everyday I just like wokeup and recorded and made something."

His sticktuitiveness has landed him many gigs, and he is not one of Santa Barbara's most sought-after local performers. "I feel that Santa Barbara is a bubble of musicians that is about to burst," Erickson said. "I have met an incredible amount of talented musicians. It's actually unreal, how many great musicians and how many people are passionate about it Santa Barbara. The former sports editor of the Santa Barbara City College said he might return to college one day, but right now he's focused on his musical career. "I want to live in Santa Barbara and make music here, and make the best possible music that I can," Erickson said. "The biggest thing for me is can I make music, do what I love and support myself. That question has been answered for me, yes I can do it. But the biggest thing, one, the goal is to make the best music I possibly can. That's the biggest thing. And two, I want to tour. There's so much of the U.S. that I haven't seen." Josh Molina has been a journalist in Santa Barbara for 20 years. He also covered City Hall for the San Jose Mercury News.

For every journalist in America, there are six public relations professionals. That's according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Think about that for a second. Why do I bring this up? Well, it's because fewer journalists means less coverage of the important news. And why does that matter? When we don't have journalists reporting stories, we have public relations professionals creating “narratives” for the government agencies, corporations and politicians. And why is that bad? When you are getting paid to create a narrative, you aren't always telling the entire truth. And there's a difference between journalism and content. So there was a viral tweet this week by reporter Bethany Bruner, where she says “I was the ONLY reporter in the courtroom this morning as the man accused of raping a 10-year-old girl, impregnating her, leading to an abortion in Indiana, was arraigned.” She's a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch, a Gannet-owned newspaper. Why is she the only reporter in a courtroom reporting on news of this magnitude? It's because newspapers have been downsizing for two decades now and the number of reporters at local newspapers has plummeted. You see, journalism doesn't pay well. In case you haven't heard. Certainly, the reporters at the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and other large newspapers are doing OK, although they are probably still underpaid for the amount of quality work they do. Most reporters in America are paid pennies on the dollar for what they are worth.

Noozhawk Executive Editor Tom Bolton talks about his amazing career in journalism. Bolton knew when he was in high school that he wanted to be a journalist. At UCSB, he became the editor of the Daily Nexus and then worked at places such as the Santa Maria Times, Santa Barbara News-Press, and eventually as co-owner of Noozhawk. "Most of the people I know who go into this business are good writers, but the best writers anguish over it," Bolton said. "They work really hard with word choices, transitions. If you stop doing that then you writing starts to flatten out." In addition to his editing duties, Bolton writes breaking news reports for Noozhawk. He's typically the first in town to break stories about crime, fire, accidents and other breaking news events.

We invited Tara Jones Haaf back to the show when we heard that her very successful company, Eat This, Shoot That, has expanded into Solvang. For those of you outside the 805, Solvang is a lovely recreation of a Danish town, nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley, just 45 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Tara tells Mark and Patrick all about the charming city and the hidden culinary treasures that abound on the tour. Tara says that her tours are an 8-course adventure. We can't wait to go up to Solvang and discover these hidden treats. Listen to our original episode with her from 2017 to get a full background on what Eat This, Shoot That is all about. We caught up on the business; she's now operating with seven tour guides. She is full of great quotes, including, "Take the picture that got you to go to the restaurant in the first place." Good idea. Tara gave us some pro tips for taking pictures of food - and they are simple and easy to remember. 1. Get in nice and tight. She suggests getting into the personal space of the dish. 2. Shoot at eye level. Forget perfectly framing those over the dish shots. 3. Front light the plate (have the sun at your back) unless you're taking pictures of glasses of wine, then have the light behind the glass. Tara also writes for Noozhawk and has an unfair competitive advantage in finding the best places to eat. You can see her many articles here. Her writing talents are also on display in her book that she spoke about in our first show: The 100 Things to do in Santa Barbara Before You Die.
