This episode touches on what I have learned from my AMST 350 course and how the avoiding the dangers of the single story is the best way to summarize California culture. Thank you to all my listeners. I hope you enjoyed!

The 3rd episode of the Pasadena Podcast contains two parts. The first one discusses my family history of working in California and how pioneers from the 1849 Gold Rush influenced the culture of California. The second part talks about a business plan that addresses social injustice such as anti-LGBT, racism, and attacks on social activists. These are all important to California culture because California was the birthplace for mining for gold and social activists. Hope you enjoy!

This podcast discusses the rich history of how palm trees were brought to Los Angeles and the way they have shaped California culture. It also makes connections to William Mulholland and the emergence of Orange trees in the San Fernando Valley. 

On this episode of the Pasadena Podcast, Bob Fuller, an 83-year old recent retiree discusses his experiences growing up in California and changes he has witnessed. This directly relates to the experience many Native Americans from California found. In the novel "California" & the documentary "California's Lost Tribes", Native Americans see a lot of change through their land to their wealth, and this resonates with Pasadena's own, Bob Fuller.
