12.27.10: The Best of 2010

On today’s show we want to wrap up the year with a review of what our dedicated producers felt were the most impactful stories we have covered since we launched Hear in the City in September. If you listen regularly (we thank you) and you’ve probably noticed that our show focuses on environment, arts, education, and culture in and around Los Angeles. Most of the stories you’ll hear today, as we wrap up the year, have to do with the economy--Why? Well, we’ve been thinking a lot about what this show should do. What do we need in Southern California that a little radio show with a lot of voices can provide? We landed on this: community and equality in the urban environment. Our goal with Hear in the City is to map the city through sound-rich profiles of people living and working toward creative social change and solutions. One way we do that, as journalists and producers, is working with community stakeholders who have important stories to tell.
