Raygun Gothic...well, OK, Googie
This episode popped up as I looked for Googie related podcasts. After realizing what exactly I loved about mid century modern was Raygun/Googie designs and lines, this show helped fill in some of the history that supports the era of this style. In 2015 I spent a year in LA and was pleasantly surprised at the architectural remnants left behind and preserved from this hopeful, optimistic, futuristic movement. A place that I don’t think you talked about where I actually spent time on a set was at Rae’s Restaurant. It has been featured in a plethora of films and even Elton John’s album “Songs From The West Coast”. It’s pretty great. Even Bruno would appreciate it.

And just wanted to correct one thing - “laowai” is basically just foreigner, “gweilo” is more similar to the “white ghost” connotation, though it still doesn’t really specify whiteness though often used toward white foreigners

Can’t recommend this show more. Super funny and even more informative. As someone obsessed with Los Angeles history, I’ve learned more about the city from this show than any other book or podcast. Great job!!!

If you like history, Los Angeles, comedy, creepy stuff, and/or random trivia, this is the podcast for you. Greg and Daniel are a hoot (or their own respective hoots, I guess?). You listen now.
