I Don't Know Anyone In LA
By Ana
With more than 4 million people bumping up against each other, how is is possible to feel so alone and isolated?
Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect, talk about our lives and what got us to where we are today.
It's also a show about connection in a larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. As the week's progress, it'll filter up a chain on people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know.

About The Show: LA is a city of 4 million spread over 503 miles, 114 neighborhoods and can take over an hour to get from one side to the other. With that many people bumping up against each other, how is it possible to feel alone and isolated. It's a city of paradox: dreams and heartbreak. Lifelong locals and those just coming in for a shot. Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect. Talk about our lives and what got us to where we are today. Talking. What does it mean for two people to get to know each other? It's also a show about connection in the larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know. That person we pass in the street, get behind at the grocery store, sit next to at the bar. They are all more connected to us than we may realize at first glance. A couple handshakes away...or, for the bold, maybe just one. I'm Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA. But...now I know you.

Meet Kate Turnipseed
Meet Kate Turnipseed. She is the cohost of the Lady Wave podcast, an Alabaman and the person who makes your favorite TV shows run smoothly. In this episode, we talk about growing up feminist, period health and homelessness in LA.
Homelessness is a topic that has come up in the past two episodes. LA does have resources. If there are homeless living near you, you can fill out this super easy form (https://www.lahsa.org/portal/apps/la-hop/request) with the Los Angeles Homeless Authority. LAHA will go check the situation out, help your homeless neighbors get in touch with resources and find safer places to live. Don't call the cops on the homeless unless you are in immediate and real physical danger, because you will potentially put that person into harm's way or make the mountain that this person is already climbing even larger.

Meet Abbey Londer
About The Show:
LA is a city of 4 million spread over 503 miles, 114 neighborhoods and can take over an hour to get from one side to the other. With that many people bumping up against each other, how is it possible to feel alone and isolated. It's a city of paradox: dreams and heartbreak. Lifelong locals and those just coming in for a shot. Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect. Talk about our live and what got us to where we are today. Talking. What does it mean for two people to get to know each other?
It's also a show about connection in the larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know. That person we pass in the street, get behind at the grocery store, sit next to at the bar. They are all more connected to us than we may realize at first glance. A couple handshakes away...or, for the bold, maybe just one.
I'm Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA. But...now I know you. Special thanks to IG: music.emilymartin for the intro/outro and IG: nonaleon for the cover art. Follow me at IG: AnaAndThings.

Earthquake Update
Los Angeles felt the effects of two major earthquakes over the July 4th weekend, which had me reflecting on this show a little bit. In good times, community is so important. In times of crisis, it's vital. Additionally, the things that eventually helped me to calm down and get some sleep are products of this city...which feels worth calling out.

Meet AJ Trexler
No, it is not your eyes playing tricks on you. This expertly edited photo is in fact of two people who are not in the same room. First, I forgot after recording. And then, I celebrated my birthday the night before we scheduled to take a photo together.

Introducing I Don't Know Anyone In LA
My name is Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA.
Through the course of this show, I'm looking to change that by sitting down with a new Los Angeles resident each week, being vulnerable about what it means to connect with someone, especially in adulthood, and finding community in a city notoriously tough to find your place in, geographically spread out and so intimidating.
It's also a show about connection in a larger sense, because each week's guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And, as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know.
I don't know anyone in LA, but now I know you.
