Pod PPL

Hi folks! Some news: POD PPL is going on hiatus. Thank you to everyone who has listened over the past year, and thank you to all who helped put the POD together.

POD PPL rings in the holidays with its second ever public domain Holiday Special! Join Larry as he reads O. Henry's classic short story "The Gift of the Magi."

In this episode of POD PPL, Larry checks out the history of baseball in Pasadena, talks about a local engineer’s invention that changed music, and introduces some bright green friends in the skies above Southern California.

Ever wonder about that towering mountain range to the north of us? In this episode of POD PPL, Larry gives a brief history of the San Gabriel Mountains, as well as some local hiking destinations. 

POD PPL rings in May with a double feature of an episode! First, in acknowledgement of Mental Health Month, we’ll discuss some tips for mental well-being. Then, to commemorate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we will dive into the history and fate of Pasadena’s Japantown.

This month on POD PPL, Larry dives into the history and development of public transit in Pasadena. Tosh makes her triumphant return to the pod with an introduction to the Metro Micro service, and gives us some great tips for fun day trips around the city.

Starting this November, join the Pasadena Public Library every month for a deep dive into stories, music, and more!
