Thank you much, Gustavo and team! I enjoyed every moment.

I’m surprised & sad that this show has ended. I really enjoyed it & appreciated hearing more stories local to LA, California & the west coast. Thank you for all the great work that you did & for highlighting climate change so prominently. The masters of disasters made climate...Read full review »

I have been waking up to this podcast for a long time and will truly miss Gustavo and the other fine journalists who put together such a great and informative show. I will miss it dearly! I’m proud to subscribe to such great journalists and have kept it up even after moving out of CA. Looking...Read full review »

Was bee hopping along today, listening to the last episode, though I didn’t know it at the time. Until, it was announced this show, as we know it, is ending. Tears. Real tears. I can’t imagine not having Gustavo be a part of my daily, hot girl walk. I really hope this is repurposed into something...Read full review »

HOW/WHY CANCEL THIS SHOW?! This podcast brought the LA Times to people around the world! Of all the shows that have recently announced cancellation, this upsets me the most. It was so informative and well-rounded! So many issues brought to the front via fantastic journalism. What a crying...Read full review »

Good podcast finding its stride. Getting better all the time.

This is a very good podcast that needs to be listening
Holistic Human Dev via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
The Colorado River series has been amazing. I appreciate the fair coverage on all side of this very important conversation. Plus the other stories have me digging deeper into topics I didn’t even know about. Also, the length of the podcast, at least for me, fits in that sweet spot of not too...Read full review »

Bring back 5 episodes week!!! Sitting in front of the computer just isn’t the same on the days when there’s not a new episode.
Death by Cubicle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/23
California is a huge state with so many stories to cover. Instead this podcast often focused on national, and sometimes international, stories that are covered extensively by both the NYT Daily and so many others. We need more local journalism and that’s where I think this podcast will find more...Read full review »

Love the podcast
totalobsessedfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
The V1 of this show, when it focused on stories that affected all Californians and that didn’t receive national attention, was great. Virtually all shows now focus on a story through an identity lens, even when the relationship - of whatever is being covered - to (especially racial/gender)...Read full review »

The Times podcast is always interesting and relevant. The stories are well researched and crafted, and the host is intelligent and charming. There are so many news podcasts that it’s hard to tell them apart, but The Times holds a special place because of the stories they cover — which most...Read full review »
Jina loves this podcast! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/22
Tries too much to format itself as The Daily from NYT. a successful formula, but something I want to hear less of.
Vietcent via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
3 repetitive, minute-long advertising breaks in a 24-minute podcast? Too much. Alternative ad-free premium with meager benefits? To quote Snoopy: BLEAH!!
forthwrite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/22
The show is OK after about a year, but they have a bad habit of getting conservatives to advertise, including Rick Caruso, Bari Weiss, and Megyn Kelly. These are objectively loathsome people. Do better, LA Times.

Just got to put this out there. If you’re a real Beyoncé fans. You would never pronounce “Bey” as “Bay”. It’s Beeeeyonce not Baaaayonce. Just saying…
beyhivefans via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/22
I’m first generation Mexican and my hard working parents with little English raised their family in a upper middle class community. But they made a point to not base our achievements on our race or need to pronounce our name or others with an accent! Los Angeles is more than just us (Hispanic)...Read full review »
Trail lust via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/22
This podcast gives the LA Times that extra push and exposure to reach out to audiences like me, who are not used to reading or listening about the news in the traditional way. The stories hit almost every aspect of life and you never get the same news everyday. It is always something different,...Read full review »

Inserts too much of his personal opinion. If that’s what i want I will read the op/ed page. He tries too hard to be “relatable”. Instead he comes off as insufferable.

Great podcast! My only source on what’s going on in my city and beyond! Keep up the excellent work!
Sucks2010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/22
Great journalism, always interesting and timely. A daily listen for sure!

This is informative to the point and honey for the ears. Wish it was longer.
Lou8acc4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/22
We enjoy listening to The Times Podcast, with host Gustavo Arellano, who is an excellent writer. He also does a great job hosting this current topic, often California centered show. A wide variety of things are discussed with knowledgeable guests in a low key manner that widens my understanding....Read full review »

Update: I figured out that this won’t download unless I turn off VPN. I don’t have this problem with any other podcasts. I love this show but suddenly this week it won’t download. Neither will any of the other LA Times shows. Did they all change to subscription only?
Every Kitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/22
All podcasts come up as temporarily unavailable since the last iphone update. Won’t play in Stitcher or from the website either. Shame. Was a pretty good local news source.
LA JENN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/22
I used to love listening to Gustavo and the podcast. But this blatant support for crypto and NFTs turned me off to the show. I really don’t think you should be able to post hard hitting stories about the downsides of NFTs and then use NFTs for a Super Bowl ad. Hopefully you all post an apology...Read full review »

Pure leftist propaganda. Gustavo does not have the stones to interview anyone with an opposing view
hhhrob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/22
dont catch them all, but always come out informed and keyed into an issue a little better!
Raiderreign via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/22
Totally weak and ghey
chrisloyd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/22
I wanted to enjoy this podcast and I appreciate the topics they choose. Unfortunately they tend to oversimplify and approach complex political conversations with such an extreme left/liberal bias that they don’t really entertain the opposing view whatsoever. Gustavo seems to have made his mind up...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast thanks to its host Gustavo Arellano, he was a strong voice at the OC Weekly and I’m glad he is now with the LA Times, keep up the great WERK Gustavo.

Living in New England now, I still order See’s Candy for myself every year. My mom worked at See’s when I was kid so I can’t remember ever not eating it! And have started gifting it to folks who’ve never heard of it too! Loved hearing you go through the flavors too!

This is the highest watermark to date! Keep this style up!
Code77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/21
This type of local news podcast was very needed. Good job LA Times for seeing the talent Gustavo Arrellano has to contribute to this new broadcast. Arrellano’s talent and craft has always been excellent, I have followed him since the OC Weekly days. Thank you
Yvee Cady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/21
The stories are extremely unique, and CA centric. Something you don’t get from other daily new podcasts. It is very worth listening, and really sets itself apart from shows like the daily, today explained, etc.
AmpersandPitchfork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/21
This podcast is great for local LA and wider California stories. Whereas other podcasts focus more on the international and country wide scale, I’ve found this podcast to be a great source of information on topics closer to home. I really enjoyed listening to the story about Bruce’s Beach. It...Read full review »
