In this episode we descend on Venice Beach as Los Angeles County slowly starts to open up -- after all its surf spots were closed during the coronavirus pandemic. We'll head to the sand as surfers catch their first legal waves, in the process of delivering this one-hour episode to 99.1 Venice Radio, a low-powered underground-minded radio station covering a section of West LA, as they put it, "From the Speedway to the Freeway." The music has been specifically curated for the broad spectrum...

The Outlaw Ocean, Ian Urbina's book of New York Times investigative reporting about the lawless seas, is arguably the most thorough account to date of the seedy side of ocean life.

Grab your galoshes and...

I made it through a year of highs and lows in the City of Angels! So lets fire up the Aphex Twin (@aphex-twin-official) and contemplate how far we've all made it in the last 12.

Plus, I've done a wide assortment of gigs in the process -- background acting, videography, podcasting, fresh salad seller, fine dining server and...
