LOST L.A., Season 7 with Host and Historian Nathan Masters

“PBS SoCal, Southern California’s flagship PBS organization, has launched this month the Seventh Season of the locally produced, historical documentary series LOST LA. Public historian and writer Nathan Masters returns as Host for the untold histories behind Southern California’s space shuttle program, the Cold War, the St. Francis Dam disaster and finally, uncovering Disney’s roots and how the city became the birthplace of modern animation. The series is a co-production with the University of Southern California Libraries, as part of their longstanding commitment to building public engagement with regional history collections. “The first episode of the new season explores how Southern California took part in creating the Space Shuttle, bringing humanity closer to the cosmos.” “The half-hour series LOST LA explores the region’s hidden past through documents, photos and other rare artifacts from California libraries and archives. Since its premiere in January of 2016, the series has continued to challenge the assumption that Los Angeles is a city without a history. Instead, LOST LA offers a history of Southern California that is not often told, or has been forgotten, bringing primary sources of Los Angeles history to the screen and connecting them to the Los Angeles of today.”Next up for LOST LA is “Cold War Secrecy” airing Tuesday, January, 14th at 7:30 p.m. on PBS SoCal and Wednesday, January 15th at 8:00 p.m. on PBS SoCal Plus.Nathan Masters is our guest to preview Season Seven of LOST LA.
