It’s summer and there’s music in the air!

This month’s show picks up where Episode 16 left off, with Phil hanging out at Alcove with Los Feliz Neighborhood Council District D representative Raina Pratto. They discuss the importance of the “hyper-local”, the importance of celebrating and fighting for joy, the importance of preparation, and an ad-hoc local committee dedicated to community defense and to keeping our community safe.
Regular listeners have heard many mentions made of Tabula Rasa Bar. Located at 5125 Hollywood Blvd., it has served as a locale for several public events discussed on this podcast, from the Los Feliz Writer’s Festival, to an after-party for this year’s Los Feliz Film Fest. On this show, the establishment, itself, is squarely in the spotlight, as Phil sits down with its general manager, PJ Zettle.

Porchfest L.A. returns in October, but the team behind Porchfest is producing “Sundays Before Sunset” every Sunday through the end of August at the Vermont Triangle. Phil has the details (and some live music samples recorded there).

Los Feliz is a great place to make new friends. If there is anything better than making new friends, it’s having lifelong friends move into the neighborhood as one of Phil’s oldest and dearest pals did. They get together in Franklin Hills to compare notes on the neighborhood and on the town where they grew up.
Phil is actually filing this month’s show from Kiawah Island. Before signing off, he congratulates past guest, Chef Joshua Whigman, on the recent Michelin Guide recognition his Casa Leo restaurant received.
