On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson talks to three local experts about how to make the most of a winter trip to Lake Tahoe. First up, Johnson learns the ins and outs of skiing South Lake Tahoe with Robin Barnes, director of skier services at Heavenly Mountain Resort. Barnes shares what initially drew her to alpine skiing and why teaching the sport is so rewarding. “Some people maybe don't grow up playing sports and then you put them on a pair of skis and they realize they're actually quite talented,” she says. Barnes then offers a beginner's guide to skiing, sharing tips on where to rent equipment, the benefits of taking lessons, and the joys of hitting the slopes for the first time. She also name-checks some of her favorite expert runs at Heavenly. Next, Johnson explores more snow sports options with Aaron Pearlman, manager of the Northstar Cross-Country, Telemark, and Snowshoe Center in North Lake Tahoe. Pearlman gives an overview of Nordic sports and how visitors can enjoy them. “You just attach these snowshoes onto your boots, go out into the forest, and stroll around through fresh snowfall,” he says, “It's just the most amazing and quiet experience.”  Lastly, Johnson talks with seasoned travel writer and 20-year Tahoe resident Ann Marie Brown. Brown discusses her favorite off-mountain activities for anyone looking to enjoy Tahoe's winter without strapping on skis. “People are so surprised that you can go out on a boat on Lake Tahoe in the wintertime and have a great time, be cozy, warm, and see amazing scenery,” Brown says. She also highlights some don't-miss restaurants, breweries, and spas in the area.

Doug Sovern is away today. Voters in South Lake Tahoe have a big decision to make before they turn in their ballots, and it's not only on who they decide to be the next president. Many people go to the mountain resort town to escape their day-to-day lives, oftentimes staying in their vacation homes or book through a rental company. But South Lake Tahoe has about 7,000 vacant homes, and the contentious measure is pushing to tax these properties that are empty for half of the year to address the town's housing crisis. For a better understanding of Measure N, we have two guests for you on each side of the issue. First, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with Amelia Richmond, Co-Founder of Locals for Affordable Housing, which is the group that collected the signatures to get the issue on the ballot. Patti and Bret then spoke with Steve Teshara, Director of Government Relations for the Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, who is opposing the measure.

In this episode of the STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with vacation rental investor Rohin Dhar to discuss his experience and strategies in the short-term rental market. Rohin discusses his approach to property management, highlighting the importance of creating unique experiences for guests, such as adding hot tubs to his properties to maintain high occupancy rates. He mentions using social media, particularly Twitter, to post interesting houses and connect potential buyers with real estate agents, aiming to move towards facilitating transactions. Rohin is preparing to get licensed in California to legally assist with real estate transactions and is inspired by similar models like Expedia's curated travel experiences by influencers. Rohin reflects on the challenges of short-term rentals, noting the media's tendency to focus on negative stories and the complex impact of banning Airbnb on local affordability. He argues that banning short-term rentals often leads to properties being bought by second-home buyers, not significantly improving local affordability. Rohin emphasizes the potential for local regulations to better support affordability by restricting purchases to local workers. He shares examples of regulations in places like South Lake Tahoe and Banff, which aim to balance tourism and local affordability. Rohin also discusses the economics of direct bookings versus using platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, suggesting that direct booking might make sense for property managers with multiple properties but is often not worth the effort for individual owners. He highlights the benefits of leveraging established platforms for ease and efficiency. Rohin mentions the potential for monetizing his social media presence by helping people buy houses and earn commissions. He prefers focusing on one platform, Twitter, due to its low effort and effectiveness for his needs. Rohin advises against building large distribution channels without having a product or service to sell, emphasizing the importance of validating business models first. He shares insights on revenue management, stressing the need to stay on top of market changes to adjust pricing strategies effectively. Lastly, Rohin discusses the impact of regulatory changes on short-term rental markets and the importance of community-focused solutions.

     Welcome back as our WTF! Women Talk Finance hosts, Candace and Jackie, present shocking financial crimes. Our hosts, who love true crime so much they have been inspired to delve into true financial crime.     In today's episode, Candace takes us back to the summer of 1980's and to Lake Tahoe, specifically to Harvey's Resort Hotel in South Lake Tahoe, NV.  Several men masqueraded as photocopier deliverers and were able to plant an elaborately booby-trapped bomb containing 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of dynamite within the front offices of Harvey's Resort Hotel. Candace walks us through this wacky escapade of our inept true-crime criminals.     Then Jackie brings us a historical crime from the 1700's, not only that we have a female fraudster (nicknamed “Golden Booze”) at the heart of our story. Beware! Confidence scams have been around for a long time, and they are STILL happening! While we take a lighthearted look at crimes from the past, we understand crimes like these are serious. For a good example, take a look at this keynote address from Ayleen Charlotte titled; “Breaking Down the Shame and Taboo of Fraud.” Ayleen was the subject of the 2022 Netflix documentary, “The Tinder Swindler,” watched by people across 200 countries around the world.     Thanks for listening to WTF Women Talk Finance-Financial Crimes Part 2!

In a chilling turn of events reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller, the kidnapping of Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn has now become the central focus of a Netflix docuseries, "American Nightmare." The harrowing tale unfolded in the early hours of March 23, 2015, and has since captivated audiences worldwide with its astonishing twists and turns. On that fateful night, an intruder infiltrated Aaron Quinn's home in the San Francisco Bay Area while he and his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, were present. The assailant, armed with a fake gun, bound and blindfolded the couple, forcing them to consume a sedative. He further terrorized them with a pre-recorded message, claiming to be part of a professional group collecting financial debts and threatening violence if they didn't comply with his demands. Huskins was forcibly taken away in a vehicle, while Quinn received ransom demands for $17,000. However, the ransom was never paid. Quinn, grappling with fear for his girlfriend's safety, finally reported the incident to the police later that day. Inexplicably, the Vallejo police, according to a subsequent lawsuit filed by the couple against the City of Vallejo and its police force, dismissed their claims, accusing Quinn of killing Huskins and concocting an elaborate story. Quinn was subjected to an 18-hour interrogation and a lie-detector test, during which he was falsely told he had failed. This disbelief and mistreatment would set the stage for a bizarre and tragic chain of events. Two days after Huskins's abduction, Vallejo police publicly declared that they believed the couple had fabricated the entire story, with Lt. Kenny Park accusing them of wasting valuable resources and causing fear within the community. Criminal charges were even hinted at. However, the story took an eerie turn when the San Francisco Chronicle received a series of emails claiming to be from Huskins's kidnapper. The emails contained "proof of life" messages and intricate details about the abduction that only the couple and their abductor would know. It was later confirmed that these emails had indeed originated from Huskins's kidnapper. The breakthrough in this perplexing case came months later when officers from the Dublin Police Services arrested Matthew Muller, a Harvard-trained attorney and former U.S. marine, during an unrelated investigation. Evidence found at Muller's South Lake Tahoe home linked him to the kidnapping. An FBI investigation uncovered disturbing videos of Muller sexually assaulting Huskins while she was blindfolded. In 2017, Muller was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his heinous crimes. Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn finally received the validation they had sought, but the emotional scars remained. In March 2016, the couple filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Vallejo, accusing them of a "vicious and shocking attack" on them and creating a media frenzy by accusing them of faking the crime. The City of Vallejo later settled for $2.5 million, but it wasn't until 2021 that Vallejo police publicly apologized for their treatment of the couple. Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn, who married in 2018, have embarked on a journey of healing and redemption. They underwent therapy to rebuild their lives, resumed their careers as physical therapists, and even co-authored a book about their harrowing experience. Despite the closure brought by Muller's conviction, the couple still grapples with unanswered questions. As Huskins stated, "We're never going to get the answers. We've had a long road of trying to accept that." The Netflix docuseries "American Nightmare" sheds light on this extraordinary case, showcasing the enduring strength of two individuals who faced unimaginable adversity and emerged stronger than ever.

First up, Johnson speaks with San Diego–based Alana Quintana Albertson about her latest novel, Kiss Me, Mi Amor. Albertson discusses how the Golden State's diverse settings provide endless inspiration for her many romance novels. “I really use setting as a character, and I was contrasting La Jolla and Barrio Logan and different communities,” says Albertson. Albertson also shares a few sneak peaks of her upcoming works and names some of her top San Diego County spots for coffee, tacos, and books.  Next, Johnson is joined by Melissa Broder, author of the mystical desert tale Death Valley. The Los Angeles author and poet recounts how a traumatic personal experience in the California desert inspired her latest novel. “I was just going to Zabriskie Point where nobody—it's a very touristy area—nobody ever gets lost there. I got completely lost and did everything you're not supposed to do,” Broder recalls.  She tops off the conversation by sharing her favorite local boutiques, restaurants, and hiking trails.   Lastly, Johnson talks with South Lake Tahoe–based memoirist and poet Suzanne Roberts. The Almost Somewhere author recounts her experience hiking the John Muir Trail: “Those 28 days taught me that there is more than one view of nature, that nature is a place where we should be connecting and not conquering.” The experienced outdoorswoman also builds an itinerary for both a laid-back and action-packed winter weekend in her hometown.

As the massive Caldor fire blazed towards South Lake Tahoe in 2021, Joyce knew she had to get out. “The sky was red. It was like hell on earth,” she remembers. Her family got to safety and her house was miraculously spared. But, even now, it can be jarring to remember the fire. Climate-related extreme weather events are on the rise and another disaster is seemingly right around the corner. Especially with freakish flash floods, a scorching heatwave and wildfire smoke blanketing much of the country. On this episode of How To!, guest-host Cheyna Roth brings on Dr. Britt Wray, author of Generation Dread: Finding Purpose In an Age of Climate Crisis. Dr. Wray explains why we need to treat climate anxiety differently and how we can create resilience both internally and within our communities as we face climate change, together.  Resources Mentioned:  Climate Psychology Alliance Climate Psychiatry Alliance Good Grief Network Climate Awakening Gen Dread Substack If you liked this episode, check out: How To Save the Planet (And Still Use a Plastic Straw) Do you have a question we can help you solve?
