HOME: Stories From L.A., a member of the Boing Boing Podcast Network, is on a brief hiatus, and returns for its fourth season in October. If you haven’t heard the show yet, this might be a good time to catch up with an episode from the archive — like “The House On The Hill,” about a forgotten figure from the Golden Age of Hollywood; or “A Home, A Murder, A Mystery (or two),” about a house that saw a horrific murder in 1959 and then sat empty and silent for more than 50 years; or “Rose, Mercedes and The Days Of The Dead,” about what an L.A. actress did to encourage the troublesome spirit of her late grandmother to vacate the house they once shared. (Hint: It involved sage. And hammers.)
HOME looks at home in the broadest sense — as a place, a feeling, an aspiration, a dream. Do you have a story about home that takes place in Southern California? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a note. Tell me a story. And maybe you can have a hand in helping me figure out: What do we mean when we talk about home?
