  • Altadena: Where Champions Are Made and Legends Rise

    Altadena: Where Champions Are Made and Legends Rise
    Jul 14 2025
    On this podcast of “Conversation Live: Altadena Rising,” James Farr sits down with Laurence Todd, founder of the Pasadena Sports Hall of Fame, to explore the rich athletic legacy of Northwest Dena — where Altadena and Pasadena blur as one community. Known names like Jackie and Mack Robinson are just the beginning. This region has produced Olympians, Super Bowl champs, MLB stars, and NBA legends — not by chance, but through neighborhood courts, school gyms, and a village that raised them.

    Farr and Todd reflect on what it means to come from Dena, the City of Champions, tracing how decades of greatness grew from community, competition, and resilience. As Altadena rises from the Eaton Canyon Fire, they ask: Who is the greatest athlete ever to come out of Dena? Todd’s answer may be surprising, but it’s rooted in the legacy and spirit of the village that built them.

  • “After the Fire: Turning Survivors and Community Voices Into Action”

    “After the Fire: Turning Survivors and Community Voices Into Action”
    Jun 30 2025
    How does a community move forward after disaster—and who gets to decide what recovery looks like? In this episode of "Conversation Live: Altadena Rising," host James Farr sits down with Dir. Jeffrey Marino from California’s Office of Data and Innovation. They’ll talk about Engaged California, a platform designed to bring fire survivors and residents directly into the state’s decision-making process.

    Marino shares what people in Altadena and beyond had to say in Phase One—raw, urgent feedback about missed alerts, dangerous infrastructure, and feeling left out of the conversation. Now the state’s asking those same people to help shape what comes next. It’s not just policy—it’s personal. And it may be one of the most important tests of public trust we’ve seen in years.

  • Under Siege: Fires, ICE Raids, and the Fight for Altadena

    Under Siege: Fires, ICE Raids, and the Fight for Altadena
    Jun 16 2025
    Altadena burned—and the people still want answers.
    On "Conversation Live: Altadena Rising," host James Farr sits down with L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger this week. Why were evacuation alerts late? Who failed to protect Altadena—and especially its Black community?

    Across Los Angeles, ICE raids are intensifying. U.S. Marines have been deployed. Masked federal agents are saturating neighborhoods—what some are calling “police-riots.” In this moment of fear and federal force, we ask the burning question: Where does Supervisor Barger stand? With the people—or with those terrorizing them?
