Welcome to Almost L.A. - a funny and informative podcast co-hosted by the mother and son duo of Audra and Aidan. Follow them each week as they combine their love of music, celebrity, and the history of Los Angeles with their own brand of quirky humor and personal stories.
The Monkees aired on September 12, 1966 and by the next summer America was in full Monkeemania. The show was a sitcom about 4 “insane” boys who wanted to be like The Beatles, but never became successful. Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork played in a fictitious band called The Monkees who got caught up in some zany 1960’s fun in each episode while randomly breaking out in song.

Black Dahlia Suspect Mark Hansen
Elizabeth Short briefly lived at Mark Hansen's bungalow behind his nightclub Florentine Gardens off and on in October and November of 1946. On January 21, 1947, 6 days after Elizabeth's mutilated body was discovered in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, her killer mailed her personal belongings to the Los Angeles Examiner. Among her items was an address book with Mark Hansen's name on the cover. Hansen quickly became one of Elizabeth Short's prime suspects. Unfortunately, The Black Dahlia case would not be his last scandal.

Sex Magic, Satan and Rockets in Pasadena
JPL's founder and Aleister Crowley follower, Jack Parsons and Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard performed so many rituals at The Parsonage on Pasadena's Millionaire's Row that the house was said to be haunted by ghosts and screaming banshee's. Parsons and Hubbard's Balalon Working rituals in 1945 may have caused the UFO crash near Roswell, NM and ultimately the Apollo moon landing. This Halloween, on the 80th anniversary of JPL's first rocket launch attempts we discuss how Pasadena became the hub of sex magic, satan and rockets.
