Your host and guide Cheyanne Gustason is here to answer all your West Coast/SoCal/NorCal/SLOCal/Fresno questions with the aid of a series of interesting, informed, and inimitable guests. You'll learn some cool spots. You'll meet some awesome people. You'll have your brain tickled a bit and it'll feel good, bro.* Discover the best of what California has to offer. 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. Some other questions we'll answer: Why? Who is that? Where is Malibu? What about Wasco? What's the best road for a weekend drive in the greater Los Angeles area? 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? Why do musicians keep writing songs about California? Where do they film all those car commercials, anyway? What is the Reagan Library actually like? Which Carl's Jr. is the best in the state? Who the hell thinks this is a good idea for a podcast? Want the answers? Tune in and find out, they may surprise you!
