Explore places you've only seen in your dreams, or maybe on TV. Learn what the Golden State means to the people who live here, the ones that don't, and the ones that wish they did.

What's up with Northern California coastal architecture? What is Bakersfield's one redeeming quality? Why would a Californian move to Nevada? Where's the best spot for vintage shopping? How about smoked salmon? Can you go to Joshua Tree sober? What is the closest critically-acclaimed BBQ wagon to the oldest living things on Earth?

Who the hell thinks this is a good idea for a podcast? Want the answers? Tune in and find out, they may surprise you! *Podcast run by a woman who despite feminist beliefs (it just means we're equals, man!) adheres to that California coastal vernacular stereotype of using masculine gendered endearments for gender neutral and energetically "chill" purposes.** **Political correct contextualization of native jargon brought to you by many years of the public education system, general self-awareness, and a desire for a better, more equal, more diverse, and more empathetic world.*** ***No, author is not a vegan. Stop stereotyping, my dudes.
