Walter Thompson Hernandez grew up near to where the jet fuel dump occurred. It caused him to reflect on the LAX flight path. ‘If I Go Will They Miss Me’ is available to watch from January 20th to February 10th at Sundance. Written by @elmerdargueta lataco.com/if-i-go-will-they…

It’s safe to say “California Love” hosted by @WTHDZ was a bright spot in 2020. The podcast, a love letter to the city of L.A., went out on a high note earning spots on @ApplePodcasts, @SpotifyPodcasts & @TheAtlantic's “Best of 2020” lists (plus many more). theatlantic.com/culture/arch…
