I live in LA, am very interested in what is going on in the city and really want to like the podcast. However, the lack of editing kills this show for me. The first 20 to 30 minutes of the podcast consists of the hosts’ LA Stories, which, while occasionally interesting are way too long. The...Read full review »

***I’M CHANGING MY REVIEW TO 5 STARS*** -Note I was FURIOUS when they went off air. I lost everything. I had a case of the Mondays. Looks like they’re coming back now that Council has been fully exposed. I haven’t been this excited since they would do emergency Pod/IG live and Hayes would be...Read full review »

This podcast filled a void for many years. Was it sometimes poorly researched and biased? Sure. Then, they tried to make it more "journalistic" and it went off the rails. Literally. They disappeared without full explanation. I just hope people aren't still giving to their Patreon.Read full review »

This is the best podcast I’ve found on the ins and outs of Los Angeles city and county politics and issues. I skip the LA stories segments.
Not a bird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/22
This podcast reminds me of the worst part of working in an office… listening to your coworkers ramble on (with horrible vocal fry) about what they did over the weekend followed by their liberal-to-a-fault views on a few basic morning headlines. This podcast perpetuates the worst stereotypes about...Read full review »

This podcast is interesting, informative, and funny.
One of Hayes' foreign agents via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/22
This show used to be focused on Local news that actually matters. Now it’s just 30 minutes of people saying what they did this week then vamping about headlines anyone would know from a casual look at the latimes
Donner_party11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/21
They take the work out of being an engaged and informed member of the community
Pipsir via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/21
Excellent new format. We’ll worth listening.
AmpersandPitchfork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/21
I loved the three original hosts. The podcast used to be very informative and thoughtful, focused on local issues. Now it seems to be a lot of abstract complaining. I don't see what Dax Shepard's and Mila Kunis' bathing routines have to to with Los Angeles. There have also been some...Read full review »

I wish everyone in LA could hear this podcast, and I wish every city had an LA Podcast of its own. Indispensible.
Andrew Weishaupt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/21
Like I said good content but hard to get passed by the vocal fry throughout.
bny111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/21
Deliciously woke! The perfect podcast for progressives to have all their beliefs confirmed. If you’re a big Gascon and Bonin supporter- you’ll love it. The kids who host do sound sweet and friendly so it’s not a knock on them.

Want to know more about how Los Angeles works at a city, county, state level? Come for the humor and gossip, leave with hard facts about legislative process and where we are going as a city. Can’t recommend it enough.
LA-Darius via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/21
Not only informative but entertaining. I never miss an episode. My one small quibble, and I really don’t mean this in a hurtful way, is that Alissa laughs after almost everything she says and now that I’ve noticed it I can’t stop noticing it. But I admire and appreciate her and will live with...Read full review »

Scott is brilliant in his analysis and brings a ton of historical context to each topic. Alyssa is sharp, smart, and funny. I only wish Hayes interrupted less - he’s intelligent and adds a lot to the show, but he sounds as if he’s constantly surprised to find out he has feelings about his own...Read full review »

Awesome weekly digest dissecting pressing local issues in a fun and accessible journalistic manner. Scott, Hayes, and Alissa are super well versed on the issues and have their fingers on the pulse. Great follow.

But I love this pod. I’m a fan of Hollywood Handbook, and find this to be a great combination of wit, humor, and an empathetic distillation of the news.
JayMilz123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/20
LA podcast empowers angelinos with information about los angeles politics that isn’t covered by local news. this podcast is a light.
giantspider via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/20
This is one of my primary sources for local news. Very informative.
Lord Snerts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/20
The new song is a huge step down.
ZenMonken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/20
I like this podcast a lot. Helps me untangle the mess that is LA leadership and politics. Sometimes the two male hosts cut off and talk over the female host tho and maybe they should chill?
lesbianseparatist79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/20
I heard Scott (?) on the Antifada podcast today. I’m hooked. I listened to your last week update. I live in the AV where Robert Fuller died. The inside football detail on BLM, Olympics, cops, supervisors is exactly the stuff I need. Gotta thank that Jamie ! Newest Stan.
desertbitch1962 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/20
Hard to listen to two dudes interrupt and talk over their female co-host who can barely get a word in :/
ebrown.30 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/20
Love the topics in this podcast, homelessness, public transportation, housing crisis etc. it’s just that sometimes those hosts appeared to be single-minded and double standard, not really encouraging discussion but just preaching to the choir.
MarkP_LA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/20
Essential listening for understanding local LA politics as well as the global protest over the senseless police violence and the need to reimagine the entire concept from the ground up.
Cyberhippo1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/20
Nothing like it.
Profw33d via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/20
Since moving to Los Angeles, I had always wondered why things were broken, and people unkind and the city was not Hollywood glamor, but rather a decaying, remarkably poor city physically falling to pieces. Listening to this help me understand the moral and economic values of Angelenos which cause...Read full review »

Much needed resource for granular Los Angeles news on various city topics.
Gotham212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/20
I love these weekly podcasts. I especially appreciate the emphasis on action items; they help me vote, engage in my local politics, and encourage others to care about really important issues that aren't always attention-grabbing. Thanks for all the research and analysis!!Read full review »
orange-juicer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/20
This podcast makes me laugh more than anything else I regularly listen too- being informed about local issues and politics is a bonus
los angeles milk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/20
Amazing younger perspective on the nitty-gritty politics and news of LA. Highly recommend listening to gain a better understanding of the institutions, politicians, people, and history that shape today’s Los Angeles.
Beasus Rice via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/19
I love this show!!! These guys talk about LA politics, public transit, and housing with a great sense of humor and without polarizing and falling into a rant. The show is common sense and informative. All LA politicians should listen.
la kinsky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/19
I moved to LA right when this podcast was getting started. I feel more informed and civically engaged than I ever have done, thanks entirely to this podcast. (I also feel super depressed about how badly run this city is but that's not technically their fault!)Read full review »

I’ve lived in LA for just a couple years now, and I had a hard time feeling in the know about local politics etc. The hosts are super funny but also so smart !! I really feel like I know so much more about what’s going on around me in LA, and it’s easy to learn from these sweet people.
I wish this was better via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/19
This podcast is giving me an easy way to understand transportation and politics in LA, and that is NOT easy. Congratulations you guys! I’m hooked!!
ReedGettingThere via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/19
It would be so much easier to listen if they didn’t talk over each other so much mid-sentence.
letthemendthesentence via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/19
I have lived in a medium- sized Oregon town (small) for all my life but recently moved to Chicago. Drawn because of the hosts. I recently listened to LA women, summoned by a juke box, in a south side Irish bar and was bummed that intelligent talk about transportation and zoning didn’t follow....Read full review »

As someone who lives in LA, is involved in politics on both a local and national level, and just loves a good podcast I love LA Podcast. The hosts are all super smart, funny, and clearly not only talking about making LA a more just, equitable and sustainable place, but out there helping to make...Read full review »

Is this the best overall LA politics, transit, government, crime, design, AND comedy podcast?! Probably not, but it's the only one I've found.Read full review »

This is a great insiders guide to the business and politics of the municipality known as Los Angeles.
Bamasaturday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/19
Don’t live in LA but this is my favorite podcast —specific to LA, but it’s a smart/fun (???) lens through which to consider national issues. Highly recommended!
