Sitars and Symphonies: LA Composer Reena Esmail Fuses Indian Ragas with Western Rhythms We continue our California composers series with Reena Esmail. Her childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She's an artist in residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, has composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. How a UC Berkeley Professor Confronts Division With a Vision for Belonging Professor john a. powell spent much of his early life feeling like he didn't belong. At just 11 years old, he became estranged from his deeply religious family. After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years. But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life's work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, where he's also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He's the author of two recent books, “Belonging Without Othering,” and “The Power of Bridging.” powell spoke with host Sasha Khokha as part of our series on Californians and resilience.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Los Angeles acolhe uma exposição que pode ser traduzida como um manifesto visual sobre como ocupar é também uma forma de construir. A mostra “Construction, Occupation” é um retrato da criatividade como resistência e da cidade como território de disputa, memória e esperança. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los AngelesO Fowler Museum, espaço da Universidade da Califórnia (UCLA) que se dedica a explorar as artes e culturas do mundo com foco em contextos históricos, sociais e contemporâneos acaba de inaugurar a exposição “Construction, Occupation”, uma poderosa coletânea de obras que cruzam arte, ativismo e justiça social — com foco nas ocupações urbanas de São Paulo.A exposição reúne 24 artistas e coletivos, com obras em diferentes mídias: fotografias, esculturas, instalações, vídeos, livros e cartazes, que levam à reflexão sobre como os espaços urbanos e a vida de milhares de pessoas podem ser repaginados.“Essa exposição nasceu da vontade de contar uma história que atravessa mais de duas décadas de ocupações em São Paulo, com um eixo central que vai da Ocupação Prestes Maia, nos anos 2000, passando pela Cambridge, em 2016, até a atual ocupação 9 de Julho”, explicou a curadora Juliana Caffé.Ela também contou um pouco o que significam essas ocupações: “É um movimento político, comunitário, muito organizado, muito importante no Brasil. Eles são muito estratégicos, revelam muito da cidade de São Paulo, é um movimento que, ao longo dessas duas décadas, tem se aberto cada vez mais para o circuito artístico, para a mídia independente. Tem encontrado nessas parcerias um lugar de resistência, de colaboração e isso fica claro na exposição", detalha.Experiência interativaAs paredes externas do museu ganharam também grandes murais como parte da mostra, conectando diretamente os estudantes da Universidade da Califórnia com a memória e experiência das ocupações brasileiras.“Você vai ver um conjunto de imagens grandes que foram aplicadas na parede por meio de estêncil e, ao mesmo tempo, o coletivo disponibilizou uma série de áudios em que esses participantes, os estudantes, vão trazer um pouco da elaboração sobre as próprias experiências, as memórias e como eles chegaram nessas imagens", conta a curadora. "Para a gente era interessante, nesse esforço da exposição, trazer esses artistas que estão trabalhando com o tema da cidade ou que estão reconfigurando ou repensando ou agindo, para criar uma ponte mais direta com Los Angeles.""Ao invés de trazer algum trabalho pronto do JAMAC (Jardim Miriam Arte Clube), com uma iconografia e algum projeto que eles desenvolveram com grupos e locais específicos em São Paulo, a gente aproveitou a oportunidade para trazer eles aqui, para desenvolver um trabalho junto com estudantes da UCLA", contou à RFI o curador Yudi Rafael.Quem fez essa ponte São Paulo - Los Angeles foi o professor da UCLA, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn. Como parte da programação da mostra, ele também organizou discussões de artistas de São Paulo com coordenadores da LA Poverty Department, (LAPD, Departamento de Pobreza de Los Angeles, em tradução livre) órgão que trabalha diretamente com as comunidades em situação de rua no centro de Los Angeles."São duas das maiores cidades das Américas. Tem várias conexões, no sentido de como foram construídas, até o rio submerso, lá em São Paulo, e o rio submerso aqui em Los Angeles", compara o professor da UCLA. "Eu acho que essas conexões de infraestrutura, da topografia da cidade, também se manifestam nas conexões em termos de afeto, de construção de comunidade e da estética dessas cidades. São Paulo e Los Angeles também têm uma tradição muito longa e importante de muralismo, de arte pública, de arte socialmente engajada. Aí veio também essa questão de moradia que virou, de algum jeito, uma maneira, um caminho para pensar em sintetizar essas conexões", disse Flynn.Da Cracolândia para a Skid RowRaphael Escobar, artista visual e educador social, compartilhou suas experiências da Fundação Casa (antiga Febem) e da Cracolândia, em São Paulo, tanto com os coordenadores do Departamento de Pobreza de Los Angeles que trabalham diretamente com a Skid Row (área em LA semelhante à Cracolândia), quanto com os visitantes na abertura da exposição. Ele trouxe música e vivência das ruas da capital paulista, e mostrou através de uma performance uma história de resistência.“Trouxe o vídeo o Som da Maloca, que é um projeto que eu comecei em 2017, no qual eu tenho gravado as músicas dos artistas da Cracolândia em estúdio e produzido uma grande contra-narrativa sobre o território. Então são as músicas desses artistas junto com uma narração no qual eu conto a história da música na Cracolândia desde os anos 20 ou 30 até os dias de hoje", detalha o artista. "Esse é um trabalho que tenho muito carinho e foi se desdobrando. Começou com uma música gravada. Depois virou uma palestra, virou um disco, um filme e agora volta ao formato palestra, só que mais performática, mais musical."A exposição “Construction, Occupation” fica em cartaz no Fowler Museum (UCLA) até 11 de janeiro de 2026 e tem entrada gratuita.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 13 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. We start the Season Thirteen Finale off strong with a look the incredible life and work of Zaydee Sanchez, a Mexican American documentary photographer, visual journalist and writer originally from Tulare, California whose work focuses on labor workers, the environment, and migration, who is interviewed by Kendal Roney. They begin with a discussion of Sanchez's journey of becoming a journalist including how she started off by taking photos at Skid Row to display the heart of the community and then transitioned to documenting a Guatemalan man for two years. They talk about the impact visual journalism has on our society and why it's so valuable. Sanchez dives into the process of documenting hot button topics of recent years and explains how she paints an authentic picture of the people and communities she covers, noting the strict morals that go behind it all. They conclude with Sanchez explaining her evolution as a visual journalist and why it started from a passion project. And we send the 13th season of Catalyst off into the sunset with this concluding interview of TikTok content creator Sarah Pascarella by Samantha Perez. A graduate of Cal State Long Beach University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Journalism, Sarah discusses how she made the decision post-graduation to live abroad as an Au Pair in Paris, France. Sarah and Samantha discuss how Sarah, having not known the language at first and experiencing the cultural shift of the move, decided to document her experiences on TikTok sparking discussions on the cultural differences. Sarah's documentation of her life and work have given her a unique voice as a content creator, as she looks at her own perspective shifts in witty and authentic ways. The pair also discuss how diving into the role of influencer has given her new career goals and how she plans to integrate her creativity into her influencer content. They wrap up the interview with some poignant advice from Sarah regarding taking new leaps in life and how new experiences can shape you, just as her choices in career and living in Paris have shaped her own development as a person.

Ever been so enraged in traffic you contemplated getting out of your car to flip someone off? Bobby explores this universal frustration with hilarious candor, sharing his recent experience acting as a road rage surrogate for his friend. It's not just about anger—it's about human connection in our modern world where we've traded physical confrontations for symbolic gestures.Bobby takes us along on his recent comedy tour journey from Salt Lake City (where legendary comic Rory Scoville was performing next door) to downtown Los Angeles (where he accidentally wandered near Skid Row). The constant thread through these adventures? His unmedicated ADHD brain noticing everything from bad paint jobs in bathrooms to the psychological warfare of airplane deplaning etiquette.The most touching moments come when Bobby reflects on the friends who supported his early comedy career—those who showed up to open mics and struggled to find positive feedback beyond "everything you did up there was English." This raw honesty about the comedy journey resonates whether you're pursuing your own creative passion or just trying to figure out how to navigate social interactions without losing your mind.With his signature unfiltered style, Bobby reminds us we're all just trying to figure life out, whether we're giving middle fingers on highways or watching our friends chase their dreams while wondering if they'll ever "make it." Sometimes the most human response is simply acknowledging our shared frustrations and finding humor in the chaos.Come see Bobby headline in Cleveland (May 30-31) or Austin at the Velveeta Room, and check out his Patreon for exclusive updates about upcoming shows in your city.

En este episodio rendimos homenaje a una de las voces más emblemáticas del hard rock y heavy metal: Sebastian Bach, quien regresa con Child Within The Man, su más reciente entrega después de una década de silencio discográfico. Recordamos su paso por Skid Row, donde su potencia vocal y carisma marcaron a toda una generación con himnos inolvidables del glam y hard rock de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. También repasamos sus 30 años de carrera como solista, en los que no ha dejado de mostrar su amor por el metal y su imponente presencia escénica. Comentamos el concierto que ofreció en mayo de 2024 en el Lunario de la Ciudad de México, una noche cargada de nostalgia, actitud y agudos imposibles. En nuestra sección musical, revisamos el contenido de Child Within The Man, un álbum lleno de riffs afilados, líneas vocales intensas, y una producción que suena potente pero sin dejar de sonar clásica. Nos detenemos en temas como “Everybody Bleeds” y “Freedom”, donde se nota la influencia de su legado, pero con un toque moderno y maduro. ️ Y claro, hicimos el destape en directo del CD y vinilo, con su ya infame portada, que no podemos evitar catalogar como una de las más desafortunadas del año —una ilustración que no hace justicia al contenido musical que sí entrega con fuerza y autenticidad. Un episodio para fans del hard rock, para quienes crecieron con Skid Row y para quienes quieren saber qué sigue ofreciendo Sebastian Bach en 2024. ¡No te lo pierdas!

She truly needs no introduction as she has become one the most well-known voices in the world of rock music. Scratch that. She's become one of the most well-known voices in music. We know her as Halestorm's lead singer, but last year, she was also the fill-in singer with Skid Row. She's put out duets with everyone from Brooks & Dunn to I Prevail. Joining us from somewhere in Georgia as Halestorm puts the final touches on a new album due out later this year, we have a soul-searching conversation about music and what it truly means to be a part of music history.

Audrey II was more than just a mean green mother from outer space. Back in 1984, and voiced by Levi Stubbs, he was the main attraction of the movie musical, Little Shop of Horrors. Based on an off-Broadway show, which itself was based on a 1960 horror comedy of the same name, the Frank Oz directed flick achieved cult classic status on VHS and Beta. But now, decades later, are we still singing its praises? Are abusive boyfriends, exploitive bosses, and blood-thirsty plants the stuff of sing-a-longs? Or is this Rick Moranis' finest hour? The Old Roommates head down Skid Row and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

God is still speaking — are you listening? In this anointed and prophetic word, Ron Brown reminds us that our calling doesn't come from comfort zones, committees, or credentials — it comes straight from Heaven. Through stories of his father's legacy of caring for widows and orphans, encounters on Skid Row, and the voice of God that still whispers through prayer, Ron calls us back to the place where all real ministry begins: the presence of Jesus. “If we don't see Jesus, we can't hear His call.” “God's not looking for specialists — He's looking for surrendered people.” “When you hear His voice, that's when your assignment begins.” This message is a call to return to the altar, to get low before God, to pray like Elijah, and to say YES like Isaiah: “Here I am, send me.” Do you need a fresh burden? Do you want a word from Heaven? Do you want your life to count for eternity? Then listen with open ears. God is still assigning people — not based on earthly qualifications, but on hearts that are fully available. “Open our ears so we can hear Your voice.” “We serve at the pleasure of the King.” “He doesn't want us to just have a happy clappy time — He wants to give us assignments from Heaven.” This message is for the ones who still believe Jesus is enough. That prayer still works. And that God's plans — though impossible for man — are unstoppable through surrendered people. —

On this week's show: LawNext takes you to the movies. Well, to a specific movie, anyway – a documentary being made to raise public awareness and understanding of the access to justice crisis in this country.  Today's guests are the film's director, documentary filmmaker Laura Hand, who previously directed The Tent Mender, about homelessness on Skid Row in Los Angeles, and Maya Markovich, a legal innovation leader – and two-time previous guest on this show (here and here) – who is serving as a producer and advisor to the documentary. You may know Markovich as executive director of the Justice Technology Association and for her recent appointment as vice president of the American Arbitration Association's thought leadership and research arm.  The documentary, called Justice: Just A Promise?, has been given unprecedented access to film inside the courthouses of the Los Angeles County court system – the largest court system in the world and one where litigants unable to get a lawyer present enormous challenges to the civil justice system.  As this episode airs, the filmmakers have just launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise the money they need to complete and distribute the film. During today's conversation, you'll hear about that campaign, including Hand's surprising explanation of why she went that route to raise funds.  You will also learn all about the making of the film and how the filmmakers aim to raise awareness about a nationwide crisis that far too few are even aware of, let alone understand.  Check out their fundraising page here.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

True Crime Tuesday presents: Murder On Skid Row with Author, Charlene Wexler! The homeless and migrants are not new to Chicago. In the 1960s, there was Chicago's Skid Row, centered at Madison and Halsted Streets. Now an area filled with recently built upscale housing and trendy businesses near Greektown, decades ago it was a downtrodden community occupied by lost souls, mainly veterans from the war nobody wanted to recognize—Vietnam. Mel, a young dentist who believes he can do good for the people living on Skid Row, enters into this world in 1966. It is a community so different than the working-class neighborhood in which he grew up—a world of gangs, bums, politicians, prostitutes, and murderers—and a few kind-hearted souls who want to help. While trying to become one of those kind-hearted souls by providing dental therapy to his patients, Mel becomes a suspect in a double murder. Did Mel do it, or was it one of the Skid Row swindlers and hustlers? Find out in Murder on Skid Row. On today's TCT, we talk to the Author of "Murder On Skid Row", Charlene Wexler, about the parallels between her own experiences with her dentist husband and his practice in Chicago, and her experiences, and the story in the book! We also talk about how the city of Chicago has changed since the mid 60's, when the book took place, and about the characters and setting of the book as well!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by a very special guest this week for Episode 551 of the Chasing Tone Podcast -  Tracii Guns tells us about his favorite pedals, plugins, and pajamas!   Please be aware this episode contains infrequent swearing and drug references - not suitable for minors! This week the guys are pretty stoked to have one of Brian's all-time guitar heroes on the show. Tracii Guns is a legendary LA based guitarist, super talented player, and happens to be the founding member of a couple of huge bands you may have heard of. He also has a vast amount of stories and anecdotes to recount...and they are seriously funny. Brian drills straight into the culture of the Sunset Strip scene of the 1980s as the guys take a "behind the scenes" peek into the LA rock scene of that era. Tracii talks about some of the legendary bands he played alongside when LA Guns first made it, including Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, WASP, and a whole bunch more. Richard looks at the differences between the English and the US Music scene of that period and Tracii has some great insights and a mutual love of some classic British bands.Blake asks about the early days of Grunge and how that changed the direction of rock and Tracii gives us a candid and hilarious take on how that played out and what it meant for the musicians of the time. Tracii then tells us how Brian helped him through an existential rig crisis and you might be surprised by the fixes they came up with.http://www.lagunsmusic.com/ The Nigels, The Rock Sock, Kid Creole, Steve Vai, Rockman stories...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Bridget sits down with Jared Klickstein, author of Crooked Smile, to discuss the gritty realities of addiction, homelessness, and the policy failures that have turned them into epidemics. They cover Jared's personal story, being raised by heroin addicts, his own struggle with addiction, surviving a decade on Skid Row, and how he got clean. They dissect the progressive policies that caused addiction and homelessness to explode, the multitude of non-profits intended to address the problems that are actually just scams, why you need ex-junkies running recovery programs, the difference between being homeless and being "houseless," the critical need to prosecute crime, and the immediate action steps that must be taken if the problems are to be effectively addressed.

From the legendary Skid Row, bassist Rachel Bolan sits down with Benny (in the flesh!) to talk about his music origins, from seeing KISS for the first time and taking up bass so he could be Gene Simmons, to jumping from the club straight into the arena, opening for Bon Jovi. It's a truly lovely, fun conversation that we know you're going to enjoy. Support the show via Patreon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Patrick Bet-David sits down with former Skid Row addict Jared Klickstein, who shares his harrowing journey through nearly a decade of homelessness, drug addiction, and crime in California. Jared reveals how policies like Prop 47 and billions in wasted funds enabled theft rings and deepened the state's homeless crisis. He details his time working with cartel-linked drug operations, stealing $1,000 worth of goods daily, and the nonprofit corruption fueling the homeless industrial complex. Jared's firsthand account exposes the dark realities behind California's growing addiction epidemic and offers bold solutions to break the cycle of homelessness and crime. ——
