HTLA presents Imperfect Paradise: The Castle: Part 1

This is How To LA, the podcast that helps you navigate this city. I’m Brian De Los Santos. I want to share with you another podcast from LAist Studios that I think you’ll really want to listen to: Imperfect Paradise: The Castle. For the next few weeks, we’ll be dropping episodes every Friday. Imperfect Paradise: The Castle takes us inside LA’s exclusive Magic Castle through the lens of a queer hobbyist magician, who pushed for more inclusion. Read and listen below. In Part 1 of Imperfect Paradise: The Castle, LAist Senior Producer Natalie Chudnovsky tells the story of how Carly Usdin moved to Los Angeles and became obsessed with getting inside the iconic members-only club for magicians, the Magic Castle. For more, visit https://LAist.com/ImperfectParadise
