No Zoot Suits in LA

Love these odd dives into our history, good or bad. I do believe, however. that it is still illegal to wear a Zoot Suit in L.A. SMH

Great storytelling and research

Bailey is a great storyteller. When you listen to her podcast or watch her on YouTube she gives off a vibe like you're just hanging out with a friend who's telling you a cool story over coffee.

So Fascinating as told by your best friend

Bailey has such an unusual gift. Be it her podcasts or her Youtube Murder Mystery and Make-up you feel as if it's your best girlfriend telling you the inside secrets of crimes and history. Her personality is infectious and addictive. She NEVER. tries to come of as an expert, but she really does her research. Just listen once and I'm pretty sure you'll be hooked.

zoom suit riot!

I appreciate this review of LA history as well as Mexican/American history. Oppression of all types needs to be brought to light and annihilated.

I’ve listened to 2. Check your sources

You can’t cherry pick want you decide to report. We lived in Philadelphia during MOVE. You missed SO many facts that led up to the war between MOVE and Philadelphia. How can anyone take your podcast seriously when you miss so many things.

Can't get past the presentation

I understand that I may be alone in this, but I find the presentation jarringly annoying. The random sound effects, the unnecessary inflections, the forced goofiness. Not for me
